Quick coupler for mini-excavator attachments

Quick coupler for mini-excavator attachments
The Klac system is the first mechanical quick coupler for mini-excavators from 2,200 to 22,000 pounds (one to 10 metric tons). It reduces the amount of time spent unhitching and hitching attachments because of its simple design with fewer parts, which eliminates the need to adjust, service or grease the coupler. It is adaptable to any mini-excavator bucket, and its rugged cast steel construction ensures long wear life. With the Klac system, the operator unlocks the coupler by pulling a lever. The Klac system then can lock a new attachment into place automatically, without the need for a safety pin. It features double safety levels, using two springs versus one. Because it follows the original machine’s digging geometry, there is no loss of breakout force.
