What Is a Loader Coupler?
A loader coupler is a component you can add to a piece of equipment, like a wheel loader, to help you quickly switch attachments. Using a loader coupler makes operations more efficient because the operator no longer needs to drive pins in and out to change attachments manually. They can stay in the cab instead, which keeps them safer and more productive.
Use the loader coupler to quickly switch attachments, like the:
- Bucket
- Auger
- Snow blades
- Forks
- Grapples
Changing attachments using the loader coupler varies by machine type, but operators generally flip a switch to lock and unlock the coupler. Then, the operator will attach the new accessory and lock the coupler to keep it in place. Before continuing the job, the operator should test to confirm the attachment is secure to the machine.
