France-based Arden Equipment has introduced the QA Series 3 quick-hitch model, designed to enable fast attachment changeouts at job sites.

Arden says its quick-hitch system (QA) enables and simplifies the quick change of different attachments on a hydraulic excavator or material handler and its self-locking quick couplers fit all excavators up to 12 metric tons.

The Arden QA05H and the new QA Series 3 are equipped with a safety pad on the front axle while the safety paddle serves as a locking indicator.

The Arden QA Series 3 units are available with different options, including integrated tongue hooks or a hydraulic circuit kit.

The company lists recycling, demolition, earthmoving, highway project work and material handling as common applications for its couplers.
