Engcon launches new and improved machine coupler for excavators

Global manufacturer of tiltrotators, quick couplers and accessories for excavators engcon is launching a new, improved machine coupler for excavators in the 20-30 tons range.

A year ago, engcon launched a new machine attachment for excavators in the 12-19 tons range with the model S60. Now it’s time for the S70 the next size, and just like the previous model, this coupler is now stronger.

In addition, retrofitting with EC-Oil blocks will be easier because the new machine coupler no longer contains hoses and minimizes the risk of leakage. Like the S60, the S70 has an increased hydraulic flow, which is beneficial when using a hydraulic hammer or other tools that require a larger amount of oil.

“Thanks to our innovation-driven work with a focus on the end customer, you can trust that engcon will always deliver state-of-the-art technology. Our package must offer a comprehensive solution and be the premium product that our customers want, now and in the future,” says Martin Engström, product manager at engcon.

The next step in product development in terms of attachments is the launch of the S40 for the 3-6 ton size class and the S45 for 6-11 ton as well as the S80 for the 27-40 ton size class. These models will be launched in the first half of 2025.

Meanwhile, engcon has once again been recognized with an award. This time, it is the Carnegie Sustainability Award 2024 in the category of Best Newcomer.

“We are proud to receive this award, sustainability is the driving force for our long-term growth and this is a further proof that we are on the right track”, says Krister Blomgren, CEO of engcon. “Sustainability as a driving force for innovation permeates our entire organization”, he continues.
