5 Benefits of Hydraulic Quick Coupler on Excavator
Are you still manually attaching and removing attachments? Find out how switching to hydraulic quick couplers can help you work more efficiently.
There is a simple solution to increase productivity and speed up work - install a hydraulic quick coupler on the excavator (popularly called a quick release or BSM). It eliminates the time and effort spent on manually retrofitting equipment on the excavator.
Faster and safer operation
With a quick coupler, the operator stays in the excavator cab while directly changing attachments, and the whole process takes only a few seconds. This is safe, since there is no need to additionally involve people to replace the equipment. AllMetals hydraulic quick couplers have a safety pin that ensures safety during operation.
Increased versatility
The right combination of different types of equipment can turn one excavator into a multitasking machine, and the hydraulic quick-release mechanism makes it easy to switch between operations. Quick couplers can be used with dozens of different accessory tools, including:
- Buckets
- Rippers
- Grapples
- Hydraulic Hammers
- Mulchers
- Vibratory Rammers
- Hydraulic Drills
Less wear and tear on equipment
Misuse of attachments increases wear and tear, as well as shortens service life. This happens when operators neglect to change attachments in a timely manner, not wanting to spend time and effort on it. For example, they try to break hard rock with a bucket, refusing to install a hydraulic hammer. Quick couplings solve this problem and provide a flexible approach to work.
Simple design
Hydraulic quick couplers are compatible with any hydraulic excavator. The finger-to-pin mounting system replicates the connection dimensions of the base excavator and allows you to use equipment already in the fleet.
Easy to install
Connection consists of two stages. The first - connecting the quick coupler itself to the hydraulic system of the base machine - takes the same time as installing a conventional bucket. The second stage is the installation and connection of the hydraulic line, which has a simple and understandable configuration.
The connection dimensions and kinematics are 100% the same as the base carrier. Everything you need for connection is included in the delivery set, so even in the field, installation is very fast.
