Introduction
The hydraulic quickhitch is installed in place of a
normal attachment at the dipper and tipping link.
A hydraulically operated latch mechanism enables
quickhitch compatible attachments to be installed
and removed without the need to leave the cab.
The electro hydraulic control system ensures the
correct positioning of the boom and dipper before the
quickhitch latch mechanism can be operated.
