Grading at an angle
Tilt the working tool for slopes, ditch profiles and surface finishing.
Tilting quick couplerView matching product types
Positioning around obstacles
Combine tilt and rotation when the job needs more tool orientation.
TiltrotatorView matching product typesCompare product types and their uses
| Product type | Purpose & applications | Key checks | Product information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical quick coupler | A manually operated pin-grabber coupler for changing compatible excavator buckets and attachments. Compare pin diameter, pin centres and mounting width, then confirm the locking arrangement for the selected machine. | Pin dimensions, manual locking and tool clearance. | View product & specifications |
| Hydraulic quick coupler | Change compatible pin-mounted buckets and tools with hydraulically operated locking. Check both the mounting dimensions and locking arrangement. | Both mounting interfaces, locking hydraulics and controls. | View product & specifications |
| Tilting quick coupler | A hydraulic tilting coupler for angling compatible buckets and attachments during grading and finishing. Compare the tilt and locking hydraulic circuits separately; tilt angles vary with the configuration. | Both mounting interfaces, tilt hydraulics and added weight. | View product & specifications |
| Tiltrotator | Combine tilt and rotation to position compatible tools around obstacles and finish surfaces from different directions. | Upper/lower interfaces, tilt/rotation supply and controls. | View product & specifications |

Quick Couplers & Tiltrotators
Tool positioning
Separate the need for tilt from the need for continuous rotation.
Tool inventory
List the buckets and powered tools that will share the lower interface.
Added dimensions
Consider the extra connection height and weight before choosing a positioning mechanism.
Installation requirements
Confirm the attachment fits your excavator
Before ordering, send the machine identification and the connection, power and working information relevant to this product.
Both connections
Check the excavator end and attachment end separately.
Locking mechanism
Confirm pin dimensions, locking system and operating checks.
Hydraulic supply
Powered locking, tilt and rotation may need different circuits.
Clearance and weight
Review tool weight, geometry and operating clearance.
Selection questions
Questions before choosing a tool
How do manual and hydraulic couplers differ?
A manual mechanism is operated at the coupler; a hydraulic mechanism uses the specified machine circuit and controls. Both require proper locking and retention checks.
Should I choose tilt or tilt and rotation?
A tilting coupler changes the tool angle. A tiltrotator adds a separate rotation function for directional positioning.
Will my existing attachments fit?
Compare each tool’s pin diameters, pin centres, width, locking engagement and clearance with the selected lower interface.
Does machine power or weight alone establish a fit?
No. Check the mounting connection, lifting limits and the power or hydraulic supply specified for the selected tool.
What should I provide when comparing product types?
Describe the material, required result and working dimensions. Include the machine model and the connection information listed above.
