Geith G3 Quick Coupler

March 11, 2014

Geith G3 hydraulic quick coupler features four independent safety components, and the double locking, fully automatic quick coupler configuration complies with the impending safety standards set forth by ISO/FDIS 13031:2013(E). The front safety lock retains the attachment in the event of improper link/rear pin connection, while the front safety lock and the mechanical secondary rear safety system—independently—retain the attachment in a working position should a loss of hydraulic power occur. Unlike gravity-type systems, both the front and the rear spring-retained safety locks maintain high functionality in severe and dirty environments, Geith says. The quick coupler’s curved engaging plate, or pin seat, holds the attachment’s link/rear pin firmly in place upon a loss of hydraulic power. In addition, the G3 quick coupler features a hydraulic cylinder check valve, as well as the Geith-patented “curl to release” control system, providing a safe process for attachment engagement and release. It is manufactured using extra-high-strength.
