Engcon gives excavators even more features with even smarter quick coupler

Earlier they were modified for the detachable grapple cassette and sweeper roller. Engcon now removes almost all hoses in the quick coupler under the swivel tilt. This introduction of a simple modular system. This hose-less construction results in less wear and requires less maintenance. It also improves service life and flexibility. An advantage for customer, dealer and service partners alike.

The new quick coupler consists of modules and has only two hoses for the locking cylinder. The EC-Oil automatic quick coupler can be more easily attached to the lower quick coupler, now that the hydraulic blocks can be mounted directly on the manifold without the use of hoses. 

This new design also makes it easier to fit hydraulic auxiliary connections to detachable Engcon attachments. These include the grapple cassette (GRD), sweeper roller (SWD) and other future Engcon attachments. 

"With this new module system, it is easier to maintain, complete and replace components on the quick coupler itself. Hoses are often difficult to replace in a compact quick coupler, which is why we wanted to bypass them," says Fredrik Jonsson, head of development at Engcon.

New: use existing hydraulic attachments with EC-Oil

The new modular, hoseless design also represents an upgrade to the swivel that now has larger channels for improved hydraulic flow. If more oil capacity is needed to power a roadside mower, for example, it is now possible to supply one of the additional connections with "direct feed," without the use of valves.

"Since it is possible to have both the automatic quick coupler system and manual auxiliary connections in the same quick coupler, our customers can choose themselves to use their existing hydraulic attachments with EC-Oil or with manual couplers," Fredrik Jonsson explained, continuing:

"The uniqueness of our system is that the customer can start with a "simple" solution and then further expand with new attachments themselves as needed. It also makes it a lot easier for the dealer to stock a basic product that can easily be expanded according to the customer's needs," Fredrik Jonsson concludes.

Engcon's hoseless quick couplers are available in all markets and suitable for EC209, EC214, EC219, EC226 och EC233. The sizes EC206 and EC204 will also be available soon.
