ESCO Hydraulic Coupler

ESCO Corporation's new TwinLock™ Hydraulic Coupler can pick up a full range of OEM buckets within a machine's weight class.

The new coupler is designed for improved performance and safety. It has a cast body for performance and increased life over fabricated couplers. The design includes two key locking features that increase safety. The front latch acts as the first locking mechanism and is visible to the machine operator. The second locking mechanism is two gravity-operated mechanical locks that secure the attachment in the event that hydraulic pressure is lost.

Other benefits: The Coupler can be operated directly from the machine's cab without need for the operator to manually insert a pin; front latch serves as a backup locking mechanism and a visual indicator when the hydraulic cylinder has retracted; front retaining jaw catches the front pin in the event the hook is not fully engaged on the attachment pin, ensuring attachment retention; cast couplers are available for 7- to 40-ton excavators, with increased strength and less weight at the end of the stick than with fabricated couplers.

Hydraulic Boat Lifts

Among a variety of technologically advanced and mechanically upgraded boatlifts, hydraulic boatlifts deserve special mention. In the search for protection that's tough on waves - but easy on the environment and community aesthetics - many have found a solution in floating wave attenuators.

Most hydraulic boatlifts are standard with non-corrosive stainless steel bolts, stainless cable and brass nuts, giving you many years of service while maintaining a clean appearance. Thick urethane sheaves are used to maximize cable life and to ensure lasting performance under heavy use. Most of the hydraulic vertical lifts offer rigid diagonal V-bracing on both sides, giving uncompromised strength on demand when your boat is raised to maximum height. There are a number of companies who offer a variety of hydraulic boats ready to give these pleasures and advantages. Certain characteristics and features of hydraulic should be highlighted:

The hydraulic cylinder is enclosed in a beam assembly. Stainless bolts, pins, and brass nuts are used on all lifts and accessories to provide years of reliable service. The hydraulic pump, motor, and battery are enclosed in a poly box that can be locked to protect your investment.

The hydraulic lift comes standard with a two-button remote for raising and lowering the lift. Additional remotes are available and are easy to program to each specific unit.

No matter which kind of hydraulic boatlift you choose, see if you can get a one-year warranty, or an even longer one if possible. That way, if it ever breaks down, you won't end up throwing away even more money than you spent in the first place. A boatlift is meant to save you money on repairing your boat; it should never become an ongoing expense unto itself.
