Another safety feature is the in-cab control panel, which typically includes flashing alert lights that change from red to green and loud buzzing alarms “that will not stop until there’s a solid connection with the next attachment,” the North Haven rep says. Check with your dealer or manufacturer to deter- mine what the various alert lights and buzzers mean when they go off—each manufacturer has created a different style of alert system, the New Berlin representative adds. FINDING THE RIGHT FIT All these automatic coupler manu- facturers promise easy attachment of both mechanical and hydraulic tools without leaving the cab. Each company offers slight variations on its models based on the size and type of machine it’s meant for and the various niches it serves. Some manufacturers, such as the North Haven company, specialize in couplers for excavators, while the Wisconsin company offers automatic coupler models for excavators, mate- rial handlers, wheel loaders, tilt rota- tors, and forklifts.

If you plan to install automatic cou- plers on multiple machines or have 102 _ Scrap _ JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020 attachments made by a variety of com- panies, consider models that can work on various brands of equipment, the North Haven sales rep says. Talk with dealers for their recommendations, the New Berlin rep suggests—most of the companies that make automatic cou- plers understand that businesses often own “a CAT, a Hitachi, and a Volvo,” and customers want to multitask as much as possible. The New Berlin manufacturer, which offers automatic couplers only for excavators, makes an array of coupling sizes designed in a special S shape that can pick up attachments with locking pins of dif- ferent diameters, he says. The Wiscon- sin company says its material handler couplers “fit any manufacturer attach- ment,” while its excavator couplers “can be adjusted to fit most excavators in the weight class.” The Swiss compa- ny’s automatic coupler also fits hydrau- lic attachments from other manufactur- ers, it says. The North Dakota company only makes automatic couplers for its own brand of skid-steers. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Costs can vary widely depending on the size of the base machine and how many attachments you want to attach automatically, the New Berlin sales rep- resentative says. Its automatic coupler, for example, starts at around $13,700, and each bracket is between $3,500 and $5,500 depending on what kind of attachment it is and how many hydrau- lic lines a tool has, he says. The North Haven company representative estimates the cost could be about $10,000 for the coupler and $4,000 for each bracket, depending on size and function. Before installation, the dealer or manufacturer tests each coupler to make sure it is fully functional before sending it to the customer, these com- panies say. Some companies prefer to send a technician to lead the instal- www.scrap.org

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020 _ Scrap _ 103 Manufacturers say the couplers shouldn’t require much maintenance. Depending on the model, operators will likely need to check the grease points about once a shift and inspect the hydraulic seals to make sure there’s no damage or leakage, the New Berlin sales rep says. This company’s auto- matic couplers come with an extra seal kit so operators can replace worn seals—a process that takes four or five minutes and requires only a standard tool like a screwdriver. Because most automatic coupler models rely on mak- ing tight, precise connections that lock the machine and attachment together and provide good hydraulic flow, oper- ators should always do a visual inspec- tion of the coupler and the bracket before attaching them to make sure no excessive dirt, dust, or other debris could interfere with the connection, the marketing manager for the North Dakota company says. With the right maintenance, most companies say, their automatic cou- plers can last as long as the life of the machines to which they are attached or longer. This can be about 10,000 hours in the case of an excavator, the Swiss, New Berlin, and North Haven companies say. In Sweden, it’s com- mon for businesses to take off an automatic coupler when a machine reaches its end of life and bolt it on to a new machine, the New Berlin rep says. “These are really designed to last,” he says.
