Miller’s new GT Series of quick couplers are set to herald a new era
Miller’s new GT Series of quick couplers are set to herald a new era of unrivalled power and cutting-edge intelligent coupler technology for excavators increasing job site safety, machine versatility and productivity.
With a strong heritage in designing the safest most dynamic quick couplers that offer the latest in attachment technology, Miller’s next generation of GT hydraulic quick couplers are the safest coupler that Miller UK has ever made.
GT Series (frames and components) have undergone the most extreme multi cycle testing on all components. The whole unit is built and tested to twice the strength of the machine it is designed for to provide increased durability. That’s why Miller are offing an Industry leading 3-year warranty for great piece of mind for their customers.
More often than not, users will look at specifying a coupler thinking that all quick couplers share the same properties. Miller Coupler technology has developed to meet the needs of all types of working conditions, driven by the requirements of contractors to carry out work efficiently without compromising on safety or economy. The right coupler should complement and enhance the machine and make each task as smooth and efficient as possible, saving contractor’s fuel, time and money. Put simply, specifying the wrong coupler will cost more in the long run.
It’s the ability to explore inspiring, complex curved geometrical cast frames which has allowed Miller design engineers the ability to add strength where needed and remove excess weight where not required, offers an exciting level of design flexibility when compared to traditional fabricated couplers. The tough, ductile nature of castings therefore lends themselves to designs where longer working life and improved performance across all work environments are an advantage.
The brand-new Miller GTS coupler range is the lowest, lightest and safest quick coupler on the marketplace offering 1T -6T excavators a wide range of pick-ups for any attachment within the same class all from the comfort and security of the cab.
Easy to operate and far lighter and stronger than any other quick coupler, with its new low-profile design delivering a
shorter pin to point measurement which delivers maximum breakout force for greater machine productivity and efficiency. All housed in an innovative cast design using extra high strength steel to increase strength whilst optimising weight to enhance performance while reducing fuel consumption.
The Miller GTX coupler range boasts a new era of unrivalled power and cutting-edge intelligent coupler technology for heavy excavators increasing job site safety, machine versatility and productivity.
One of the biggest differences loyal Miller customers will see with the new GTX over their current PowerLatch is that the internal component systems have been reduced from seven to just four replaceable parts, removing items such as our blocking bars, magnets and leaf springs.
The internal components of the new GTX consist of an innovative ISO Cylinder, a ROSTA tensioned front latch hi vis locking system and actuator and finally a hardened steel full cast rear hook.
The simple yet effective design encompasses significantly fewer components than before, reducing service intervals and keeping repair and maintenance costs down. This in turn delivers increased productivity and working uptime.
A Miller GTX quick coupler is an investment that adds convenience and flexibility to a fleet in just about every application.
