What is a quick hitch coupler and how it works?

A quick hitch, which is also called quick coupler, is an accessory that enables easy and swift switching between different attachments on heavy machinery like excavators.

Typically, quick attach couplers are connected to hydraulic cylinders. The main advantage of a quick coupler is the speed and convenience it offers. It eliminates the need for time-consuming removal, adjustment, alignment, re-tightening, and refilling of fittings. Without a quick hitch, this process can take up to 45 minutes. However, with a quick coupler attachment, it can be done in as little as 10 seconds!

How do I choose the right quick hitch?

When selecting a quick hitch, it's essential to consider the durability. Before selecting a quick hitch coupler, you just need to let us know the model of your excavator and confirm the linkage dimension. Then we will customize it for you. Except for the hydraulic quick hitch, we also have mechanical quick hitch, double lock quick hitch, and tilt quick hitch. For mechanical quick hitch, we won't recommend it if your excavator is over 20 tons, because it's not safe.
