WEDGEBOLT vs. PIN-GRABBER COUPLERS
Excavators are designed to dig based on a specific bucket curl or rotation. Pin grabbing couplers create a space between the end of the stick and the bucket. This space can be as much as 8 to 13 inches. This results in a loss of digging power by as much as 25%! The larger the machine, the greater the loss in breakout force.
"Everytime I rolled my pin-grabber back, it would hit the curl cylinder. I removed my pin-grabber and put a WedgeBolt on the end of my Gehl 503Z. What a difference! It made it feel and act like a totally different machine. It gave me noticeably more digging power, plus it lightened up my front end."

SEE HOW SIMPLE IT CAN BE TO CHANGE ATTACHMENTS
With our mechanical models, the operator simply removes two bolts, switches attachments, and reinserts the bolts. No fuss. The Positive-Locking Action prevents movement of the attachments. The entire procedure takes less than five minutes.
Change attachments in less than a minute with our hydraulic operated models. Hydraulic fluid is branched to the coupler and the operator changes attachments without ever leaving the cab.
HYDRAULIC WEDGEBOLT MODELS
"The Kenco WedgeBolt Coupler made our lives much easier... we could change from a hydraulic hammer to a digging bucket in approximately five minutes... It is my opinion that the Kenco WedgeBolt Coupler System is one of the best investments our company has ever made."
