KRANFIX® is the only quick-coupler for cranes where the tool is firmly attached to the crane. KRANFIX® allows quick and easy mounting of swinging or fixed mounted tools. This makes your carrier machine much more flexible, saves time and helps you make optimal use of your crane. Heavily reduced idle times of your carrier machine give you a fast pay-off. With the help of our quick-coupler linkage, your crane turns fully multifunctional. A whole new range of possible applications opens up for your machine!
Exchanging your attachment tools can be done by one person in less than 3 minutes without any external help. While exchanging, the tool is simply fitted onto the changer cartridge's upper bolt. By lifting the excavator's boom, the tool will automatically pivot into the matching catch and must only be latched there.
For a quick exchange of tools such as
Simply slide KRANFIX® over the crane boom tip, bolt it in place and additionally attach to the top where minor welding might be required. Total retrofitting time of about 5 hours.
In the case of an Epsilon crane with internal hosing, retrofitting is slightly more time-consuming. Approx. 2-3 hours of extra mounting time are required. This is due to the internally-located couplings. Retrofitting thus requires more effort. An advantage is, however, that nothing sticks out at the crane’s front.
Mode of operation of our patented quick-coupler
The quick-coupler hitches into the upper anchor of the changer cartridge or linkage. Lifting the arm causes the tool to swivel into position down in the half shells taking advantage of its own weight. All that is left to do is to manually close the locking hook in order to establish a fixed connection between crane and tool.
