Business profile
safest quick hitch on the market, reducing the risk of incorrect tool connection to a minimum. With Q-Safe fitted to an excavator, the bucket or other attachment must have a certain degree of ground contact to allow connection or removal. In other words, attachments cannot be removed while in the air. For as long as the quick hitch is not fully locked the excavator can only function at a significantly reduced speed. Full power is resumed only after the attachment has been correctly connected and locked. Locking takes place automatically by the attachment first being manoeuvred into a fixed, wedge-shaped position, with the simultaneous connection being made through a steel lip, which fully prevents the attachment from dropping or running the risk of swinging as both the forward and rear axles are locked.
In addition to the mechanical locking system and the safety lip, the attachment is monitored by two independent sensors that react on contact with both bucket axles. Q-Safe can thus provide a threefold safety system through hydraulic monitoring, mechanical locking and electronic monitoring. Q-Safe will be successively introduced as engcon’s standard hitch in sizes to match machine volumes, and
consequently in all applications.
EC-Oil – remote tool changing
The new EC-oil is engcon’s system for hydraulic and electrical connection of hydraulic tools and attachments, specially adapted for our series of tiltrotators. As the sole supplier, the company can help with a total solution – from control systems, hitches and tools, to support and safety analyses. The EC-Oil is designed for maximum operational safety in demanding environments. It is the market’s only fully hydraulic hitch that can tackle connecting pressurised tools and attachments at full system pressure. The proprietary oil and electrical connectors are designed to be even more resistant to the often tough working conditions for excavators. These connectors are the most durable on the market – proven through destructive testing at 400 bar operating pressure and innumerable tests in contaminated environments. The EC-Oil

has no visible hoses or electrical cables that move around when connecting. This reduces the risk of pinch injuries and wear and tear. There is also mechanical protection which prevents the bracket being incorrectly connected, reducing the risk of breakdown. The in-built pressure relief valve enables the tool to be changed while maintaining complete system pressure. When
New generation of tiltrotators The next generation of tiltrotators is here: the 2 series. The EC226, which successfully replaced the faithful old EC20B, is designed for excavators in the 18–26 tonne weight class. The EC219 is suitable for excavators in the growing 14–19 ton segment. The new design and strengthened frame have radically improved performance. The EC219, compared to the equivalent tiltrotator in the B-series, has 37 per cent greater breakout force and 27 per cent higher torque. The hydraulic motor has been moved to the left-hand side, where it is well- protected and visible to the operator. The
new tiltrotators are fitted with a central lubrication system and are adapted for high- flow swivel use and are
