Engcon Locking System Advances Safety

Oct. 6, 2020

Engcon has begun offering the Quick Hitch Standard Control (QSC) its safe locking system as standard on all tiltrotators with Engcon’s control system. The current system for controlling the bucket lock under the tiltrotator is being replaced by Engcon’s standardized locking panel. 

The automatic quick coupler system, EC-Oil, has previously been added as an option at no extra charge. Engcon will also offer the safe locking system QSC under the tiltrotator as standard. The current system for controlling the bucket lock under the tiltrotator will be replaced with Engcon’s standardized locking panel, directing the driver’s actions by means of an alert system to ensure correct positioning. This simplifies the handling of the bucket lock--the hitch control function is standardized, regardless of the make and model of the excavator. This minimizes the risks of dropped or swinging tools. 

It is also possible to activate the bucket lock under the tiltrotator while the bucket is hanging in midair. The locking system also has a visual warning system. The system warns with sound and light alarms if the bucket is connected incorrectly. As an accessory, you can also order a safety function that locks the excavator’s turning movements, which further increases safety.
