ADVANTAGES
- QUICK HITCH
No
Pins to Change: The top half of the
Quick Hitch is permanently mounted to the excavator
while the lower half hooks onto the pins of the attachment.
There is no wasteful downtime hammering out pins and
no frustration trying to realign the new attachment.
Greater
Breakout Force: The pin centre to centre
distance is increased to maximise greater bucket ram
power.
Custom
Pin Configuration: The Quick Hitch can
be manufactured to any OEM bucket dimensions or if
required Quick Hitches can be custom made to fit a
variety of attachments. With the Quick Hitch, excavators
of different brands can be utilised to pick up the
same attachments.
Safe:
A-Ward’s Quick Hitch meets the most stringent
safety standards. It uses a double mechanical self-tightening
wedge locking system. When a manual Quick Hitch is
fitted with a hydraulic kit for cab-operated control,
the hydraulic kit’s ram is fitted with a safety
pressure-locking valve in case of hydraulic failure.
High
Load: Designed to be used with both
mechanical and hydraulic attachments.
Tough:
High tensile intermeshing steel construction, as has
been used in the toughest quarry, recycling and demolition
applications for over 10 years.
Quick
Fit Hydraulic Kit: The hydraulic ram
can be fitted to a manual Quick Hitch at any time.
If any hydraulic damage occurs the wedge locking system
can be re-fitted easily by the operator for zero down
time.
Amplified
Power: When used with A-Ward attachments
the patented Power-Positive configuration creates
20% more attachment jaw force than standard pin-on
attachments can achieve.
APPLICATIONS
Demolition:
Coupling system allows the modern demolition contractor
to change attachments quickly. Operators are able
to always use the right tool and downtime is minimised.
Scrap
Recycling: Large-ticket excavators are
able to perform both handling and shearing applications.
Concrete
Recycling: Use the same excavator to
downsize concrete, load crushing plant, and cut rebar.
Land
Clearing and Site Development: Interchange
buckets, grapples, wood shears, rippers, rakes, etc.
quickly and efficiently.
Pipeline
Laying: The A-Ward Quick Hitch is perfect
for constant changing from bucket to compaction equipment
while laying pipe lines.
Any
Job Where an Excavator Is Used: The
A-Ward Quick Hitch and Strut Hook Hitch are invaluable
tools in any situation requiring an excavator.
