New quick coupler for large handling machines
The OQC is an OilQuick suspended quick coupler primarily designed for use on loading and recycling cranes and other handling equipment. The system consists of an extremely rugged 360-degree rotator mounted on OilQuick's fully hydraulic, tried-and-tested quick coupler. The OQC unit is suspended from the handling equipment’s stick. Using the OQC system you can stay comfortable and safe in the cab while switching lifting hooks, wood chip buckets, clamshell grapples, grapples and magnets and so on – all with just a push of a button.
The brand new OilQuick OQC90 (pictured above) is designed for the largest material handlers in the world, sharing principles with its smaller siblings – but with added strength. This new model you can lift up to 68 metric tonnes and has a 100A electrical swivel connection and up to four hydraulic connections. This makes it ideal for large material handlers and harbour cranes. The product is available for order now, confirms OilQuick.
