Change attachments without having to hammer out and change the pin with the Manual Multi-Grab Quick Coupler from TRK. An adjustable screw mechanism allows the operator to grab multiple pin centers, and the difference in speed when changing attachments is minimal when compared to a hydraulic coupler. With no plumbing or hydraulic maintenance, initial and ongoing costs are lower. TRK | www.trkattach.ca Wedgelock's excavator couplers are available in both hydraulic and mechanical models, and provide the ability to quickly and easily change attachments. Both models feature the company's Wedge Locking Principle, which delivers a wedging effect that keeps the coupler-to-attachment connection tight, eliminating movement and minimizing wear. Both models are easy to install. Wedgelock | www.wedgelockna.com Bobcat's hydraulic breaker at- tachment, which quickly mounts to the carrier machine via the Bob-Tach and X-Change mount- ing systems, delivers maximum efficiency by matching the hy- draulic capacity of the carrier to the breaker, allowing consistent machine-to-breaker performance. Suitable for a range of demolition jobs, the breaker is available in models ranging from 60 to 1,000 foot-pound impact energy classes. Bobcat | www.bobcat.com Allied's Rammer Model 2577 mid-range hammer is the newest addition to its lineup. Weighing in at 3,880 pounds, it is matched for use on 46,300 to 66,100-pound excava- tors. The hammer features Rammer's vibra- tion dampened tie rod system and uses new materials to make it lighter, while retaining high levels of productivity. Incorporating the manufacturer's Fixed Blow Energy design, the unit delivers maximum impact energy for every blow for higher productivity, regard- less of flow fluctations. Its sound-suppressed housing increasings operator comfort and lowers noise levels. Operators can choose between Idle Blow Protector or a Soft Blow Sensor, depending on their needs.
