S Lock Coupler
The fastest locking system on the market
The ‘S’ lock out performs other manufacturers in the areas of reliability, service and performance due to its simple, but effective design features. Without the need for levers, claws, latches and pivot pins, components that could become faulty and prevent couplers working safely.
This puts the ‘S’ lock in front of the competition for durability and simplicity.
Strickland Ireland has received support from Invest NI under the European Union's Investment for Growth and Jobs Programme. The project(s), recorded on the ERDF beneficiaries' website, will be implemented over the next 4 years, undertaking research and development activities aimed at improving the competitiveness of the business.
1. Safe
independant secondary locking system design inherent safety features
- The position of the front lock is sustained by twin die springs forcing the cylinder assembly against the coupler body. Acting independantly to the hydraulic system this will safeguard retention of the front pin in the event of a drop in hydraulic pressure.
- The large coil spring situated within the protected cylinder assembly, applies constant pressure keeping the hook in position under the rear attachment pin.
- The design profile of the ‘s’ lock rear hook ensures the rear pin is retained when there is a loss in hydraulic pressure.
2. Strong
brinell 400 wear resistant steel
- The ‘s’ LOCK Coupler body and rear hook are manufactured from hi-strength steel, capable of working in the most arduous of environments.
3. Simple
Robust & Uncomplicated
- The ‘S’ LOCK has the least moving parts of any double-locking hydraulic coupler on the market, with just three assemblies.
- The only moving parts with in the coupler body are the cylinder assembly and rear hook. As a result the ‘S’ LOCK compuler benefits are enclosed and protected giving greater protection.
- The hydraulic cylinder assembly is fully enclosed and protected giving greater resistance to potential damage,
4. Smart
Promotes operator best practise. Extensive attachment versatility
- The ‘S’ LOCK allows buckets to be used in both bachoe and face shovel positions.
- Variable pin pick-up range, compatible with the majority of OEM attachments within the same machine tonnage class.
- The ‘S’ LOCK 3-step operating procedure is compulsory, requiring the attachment to be in a curled under safe position in order for release.
5. Secure
both front and rear attachment pins are secured by positive locks
- The ‘S’ LOCK front jaw channel is closed off by the ram assembly ensuring the attachment cannot be released in the event the rear pin is missed or incorrectly captured.
- The rear hook is securely locked by a check valve and coil spring protecting against hydraulic pressure loss.
- Visible from the operator’s position, the cylinder assembly acts as a visual indicator that can be seen from the front of the coupler.
