Features

  • Average 37 Percent Better Flow

    Average 37 Percent Better Flow

    • Couplings are machined and sized for the high-flow performance required by hydromechanical attachments.
    • Better hydraulic flow results in fuel efficiency gains from less restricted hydraulics.
    • Enclosed spring prevents contamination of hydraulic system.
    • Fail-safe fluid connections create a system for hydraulic fluid flow and no opportunity for spills during tool exchange.
    • Internally routed hoses in the bracket and coupler use fewer external hoses, reducing overall hose and repair costs.
  • Average 10 Times Better Quick Disconnect Life

    Average 10 Times Better Quick Disconnect Life

    • Quick disconnect design improves lifespan and is easy to service.
    • Design of cover lid and sealing adds protection for couplings and prevents contamination to hydraulic system.
    • Machined position of quick disconnects creates the best bracketto coupler connection.
    • Quick disconnect couplings are installed in the same direction asthe locking force with a solid flange to ensure a solid fit. No locking rings or nuts which increase the chances of loose or broken parts.
  • Industry-leading Safety

    Industry-leading Safety

    • Industry-leading safety features in sensor technology.
    • Safe coupler locking complies with updated European EN474safety standard.
    • Keep everyone on the job site safer. The operator stays safe inthe cab and no assistance is required to connect or disconnecthydraulic hoses during attachment changes.
    • Multiple electronic and mechanical measures in place to keepattachment secure, even if a pressure loss occurs.
    • Operator has visual and audible confirmations from inside thecab of successful attachment connection.
    • Heavy-duty locking wedge design keeps connections tightand in place during use.
  • Additional Versatility

    Additional Versatility

    • Attachment switching with a hydraulic connect coupler:
      • Quick changes mean operators will utilize task and applicationappropriate attachments, increasing overall productivity andextending the life of the attachments.
      • The ability to exchange attachments easily can reduce thenumber of machines needed for a job.
      • Fast attachment changes with the hydraulic connecting interfacewill save time over static couplers or pin-on attachments.
    • Electric connector allows for full functionality when workingin combination with tiltrotators, ditch cleaning tilt buckets, andmulchers or other attachments with electronic harnesses for gradesensors or tool functions.
    • Each coupler comes standard with a lifting hook with 5-, 8- or 10-ton lift capacity depending on the size class.
  • Boost Efficiency and Productivity with Integrated Technologies

    Boost Efficiency and Productivity with Integrated Technologies

    • Never waste time looking for your attachments again. Cat assettracking is available on select attachments.
    • Track your entire fleet of attachments and machines from onesource. Attachments with asset tracking can be viewed withinVisionLink® alongside Product Link™ subscribed equipment.
    • Keep your assets secure. Attachments with an asset trackersend an alert if they leave an easy-to-setup site boundary.
