Features

• Coupler Lift Hook

  Center-mount heavy duty lift hook comes standard.

• Datum Bars

  Three sturdy datum bars connect the two halves of the coupler, providing strength to the weldment for a reliable, flex-free coupler frame.

• Electric Switch Box

  A tamper-proof self contained switch box is provided with the coupler installation kit. This is mounted in the cab and has a locking rocker switch as well as a buzzer and a light to indicate and remind the operator the coupler is in the unlocked position.

• Fast Changeout

  Coupler design allows an experienced operator to safely change attachments on the fly in under five seconds.

• Hydraulic Diverter Valve

  The diverter valve provided with the coupler installation kit diverts pressure from the bucket cylinder to the ACS coupler locking cylinder when the control switch is activated. The valve also contains a rectifier circuit that diverts pressure to the coupler locking cylinder when the bucket moves in any direction. This keeps the coupler cylinder always pushing in the locked position.

• Visual Confirmation

  The patented ACS Excavator Coupler locks by rotating the locking mechanism around the front bucket pin. The operator can visually confirm the coupler is locked in place.

Options

• Combination Coupler

  You can order your coupler to be configured to pick up attachments made for different models. This is useful if you purchase a new excavator of a different brand and want to keep all of the existing attachments for the old machine. Equipping the new machine with the Combo Coupler would allow it to use the existing attachments without having to revise the ear-group for the new machine. This saves the cost of reworking the existing attachments. Combo Couplers can only be considered for exchanging attachments between similar size machines.
