- The first quick coupler built for severe-duty breaker applications
- All welds are certified and robotic
- The Auto-Coupler uses the main hydraulic system on the excavator for a constant supply of high-pressure oil, keeping the coupler’s internal cylinder locked at all times during engagement.
- No need to get out of the cab to manually install or remove any back-up or safety pin.
- A pilot-operated check-valve integrated in the heavy-duty cylinder keeps the coupler locked in the event that the oil supply is interrupted even during hose failure
- A certified lifting eye meets or exceeds the lift capacity of the excavator.
- Dual mechanical, spring-loaded locking dogs automatically engage as the coupler clamps into place. These dogs cannot retract without first reversing the hydraulic flow, which is only possible in the fully curled position.
- The coupler is controlled with a two-position safety switch, and an audible alarm that sounds during disengagement.
Built-in Safety with Shur-Loc feature
Kent’s Auto-coupler features a patented Shur-Loc safety mechanism that eliminates the need for a manual locking pin. You get better productivity and increased machine utilization, without compromising safety. The coupler can be disengaged only when in the full “curl” position.
