New CONNECT quick coupler from Mecalac

CONNECT from Mecalac is a new quick coupler system being launched on the company’s new 12MTX, 10tonne wheeled excavator. The coupler system can be operated from the cabin, and says Mecalac, the loss of an attachment is virtually impossible. The system reduces by 70% the weight of the previous Mecalac quick coupler, and it can be used to pick up all types of attachments, buckets, shovels, loading forks or hydraulic attachments.
