Change Attachments in 1 Minute: Why You Need a Quick Coupler?

Traditionally, changing an attachment requires two people (operator and oiler) hammering out pins with heavy sledgehammers. This is both dangerous and time-consuming (avg. 20-30 minutes).

With a Quick Coupler, this time drops to 1 minute. The operator can switch between bucket and breaker without leaving the cab.

1. Speed and Flexibility

Being "lazy" on a job site is costly. If changing attachments is difficult, the operator might try to dig soil with a breaker or break concrete with a bucket. This damages the machine. A quick coupler system encourages using the right tool for every job by making switching easy.

2. Safety

Metal chips flying from hammers while removing pins can cause eye injuries, or fingers can get pinched while inserting pins. These are common site injuries. With an automatic Quick Coupler, no one needs to get close to the machine arm.

3. Time = Money Table
