The System

The OilQuick Automatic Quick Coupler Attachment is a product that is gaining popularity quickly. It allows for the operator to change an attachment in just 10-20 seconds! This allows the machine to always be equipped with the right tool to tackle every job situation. Not only does this increase the machines versatility and efficiency, but also it’s profitability as well as operator safety.

Though the system is phenomenal in its own right, there are other supplements and options that can be added onto the unit. These add-ons are for extra security or specific needs such as a high power connection for a magnet, a lock support and much more. This allows for a more customized attachment while also keeping the costs down on the initial coupler system.

The Process

The first step is of course to purchase an OilQuick system, and have a machine available you wish to turn into a Swiss Army Knife. Once ready the pro couplers are then mounted. After the couplers are ready the wiring is completed for the hydraulic lock kit as well as the depressurization kit. Once complete the valves for the mount lock and the depressurization valve are installed, followed by plumbing for both. The last step is to install the lock switch in the cab, test and you are complete! Now this of course is a very simple and brief explanation of the steps involved. There are numerous steps throughout the process that on average will take two days to complete.
