MB takes the weight out of quick couplers
|
MB claims its new Universal quick coupler, or attacco rapido on home turf, improves pick-up geometry by reducing the distance between the excavator arm and the equipment used. |

Also, strain on the excavator is diminished, thanks to a reduction of more than 50% of the weight, compared to traditional couplings. The quick coupling weighs about 80kg, compared to the 150kg or so of others on the market.
Available in seven versions, depending on the excavator and the pin on which it is assembled, the new coupler allows all kinds of equipment, from crusher bucket to hammer, from traditional bucket to drill, to be installed in short order on the same excavator.
