OverviewThe OilQuick OQC 40M is an advanced
quick coupler system designed for lorry cranes, facilitating rapid tool changes. It allows operators to switch between various mechanical and hydraulic tools such as clamshell
buckets, pallet forks, and timber grapples within seconds, enhancing the crane's versatility and efficiency.
System ComponentsThe system comprises two main parts: the upper quick coupler, which attaches to the crane via a standard rotator with a flange, and the lower tool adapter, which connects to individual tools. The quick coupler integrates hydraulic manifolds and functions, while the tool adapter is available in three types: mechanical, hydraulic, and with a hook.
FunctionalityThe OQC 40M utilizes the crane's existing hydraulic circuit for locking operations. A selector valve on the quick coupler allows easy switching between tool and locking functions. Automatic hose couplings enable hands-free hydraulic hose connections, eliminating the need for manual handling of greasy hoses.
Safety FeaturesThe system includes a 'safe lock' device on the tool adapter to prevent accidental release. A manual lever allows operators to switch between tool and locking functions, reducing the risk of accidental tool release.

BenefitsThe OQC 40M enhances business competitiveness by allowing quick tool changes without modifying existing cranes or tools. It reduces equipment costs by eliminating the need for multiple rotators. The system's versatility enables businesses to undertake more diverse and profitable assignments independently.
Additional FeaturesThe system includes a parking support for secure anchoring during transport and a short upper link for added distance between the rotator and crane. The rotator provides precise handling of heavy or bulky loads.
