Thanks to their quality, reliability, durability and low maintenance, Geith couplers are among the very best in the industry. The new QC35/40 hydraulic coupler is designed for use on mini-excavators from 2 to 4 tonne in weight and expands the range of Geith couplers to cover excavators from 2 to 90 tonne.
These fully automatic couplers ensure a safe changeover of attachments without the need for the operator to leave the excavator cab. A patented double pin locking system ensures that the coupler retains the attachment in a safe position even if there is a loss of power.
Clearly visible from the cab, the front safety lock is activated by a powerful spring and hydraulic cylinder. This design offers a clear advantage over gravity systems, which is especially important when working in very difficult and dirty environments.
Excavator buckets
Designed for use on excavators ranging from 1 to 90 tonne, the new heavy duty buckets are suitable for light and heavy construction site work as well as for use in more demanding excavating conditions. The range includes heavy duty digging and grading buckets in different widths and capacities with a choice of fittings to match the excavator to optimise digging and loading performance. The extended life design of the buckets reduces maintenance and repair costs.
The buckets offer maximum versatility with pin-on systems to specifically match customer requirements. They are designed to suit the kinematics of the excavator to optimise the fully open and closed position of the bucket for loading material. There are also a number of options such as bolt-on and weld-on teeth. The grading buckets can be supplied with bolt-on cutting edges.
Tilt buckets
Geith tilt buckets increase the adaptability and productivity of excavators for land clearing, ditching, slope work, backfilling and waste handling applications. The tilt buckets are available in a variety of widths and capacities for machines ranging in size from 3 to 50 tonne.
Features and benefits include an optimum pivotal design providing a 90 degree tilt (45 degrees in either direction) with flow control valves for easy adjustment of tilting speed; two heavy duty hydraulic cylinders for excellent holding power; and a spill guard and cylinder guards to protect the cylinder rod and hose fittings.
Reversible bolt-on cutting edges, heavy duty cast banana side cutters, and wear pads provide maximum wear resistance. Corrosion-resistant high tensile pivot pins and hard inserts ensure maximum lifetime performance, while dual mechanical stops extend cylinder life.
Ripper attachments
The Geith ripper is designed to give an excavator a powerful ripping ability in hard ground conditions as well as in the most demanding demolition applications. The ripper is engineered to reduce excessive stress on the excavator. The ripper is available for machines from 2 tonne to over 80 tonne in weight and offers a work depth of up to 1550 mm (62 inch).
The ripper has a solid steel shank with a reinforced top mounting area for added durability. Hardened wear plates increase wear resistance and extend the life of the attachment. Replaceable tooth systems are available for all models. A pin-on replaceable shin is standard on all ripper models for excavators over 14 tonne.
