Features At A Glance
- Get back to work faster with the capability to change attachments in seconds
- Attachments are shareable between similar sized excavators

- Saves backfill time and material

- Primary wedge – Blocks pin movement like a deadbolt lock
- Secondary latch – Indicates to operator if coupler is either open or closed. Hinged to clamp the pin in place.
- Two spring-loaded arms – Assure secondary latch stays closed
- In the event you experience a loss of hydraulic pressure, redundant locking systems keep attachment in place
- Short coupler profile maintains tight tip radius, breakout force, and digging power
- Cast frame pieces made from abrasion-resistant steel
- Integrated, centered lift eye handles wide range of shackle, chain, and cable. Its interior shape keeps loads stable.
- Couplers without a lift eye are available in Japan to meet local lifting restrictions.
