X-Lock couplers provide a safe exchange of attachments, Kinshofer says. After the operator’s intended release of the safety knuckle, the attachment can be unlocked completely from the X-Lock couplers. To retract the safety knuckle, the operator manually activates the switch, thus opening for 5 to 10 seconds to uncouple the attachment. The wedge-locking principle of the self-locking wedge provides a 2.5-fold locking force compared with a pendular jaw quick hitch, according to the company. Furthermore, the constantly applied working pressure continuously readjusts the wedge, Kinshofer says. It guarantees the firm positioning of both pins against the quick hitch, additionally minimizing the wear in the locking area of the quick hitch.
