Quick Coupling Systems

Standard & Flexibility
 QUICK COUPLER SYSTEMS - STANDARD Functional exchange,
depending on the task!
L-LOCK SYSTEM
The L-Lock System was designed to be fully compatible with the known and nationally adopted Lehnhoff adapters.
For maximum reliability, all contact surfaces of the L-Lock quick couplers are machined and therefore lock safely and without
unwanted play or movement. The drop stop claws increase the work safety of the hydraulic L-Lock quick couplers during the
coupling process. With our quick coupler solutions, we generally differ
between two types of quick couplers:

The S-Lock System was designed to be fully compatible with the internationally adopted S-Standard adapters. In addition to a With the excavator specific suspension and its compatibel

systems or standards.
▷ Safe mechanic or hydraulic locking options available.
D-LOCK SYSTEM ▷ Use of robust and durable cast housings.
The D-Lock System is designed to be compatible with most of the pin-to-pin adapters or the original machine specifics. For
maximum security the system not only has a hydraulic main locking system but also an additional mechanic locking for rear and ▷ Fully complies with all applicable national and

TILTROTATORS
360° endless rotation and a tilt angle of up to 2 x 50° make the NOX tiltrotator a universal joint that enables a wide range of new
application possibilities. Combined with a quick coupler system and various attachments, this means maximum efficiency on
any construction site.
