Engcon coupler improves ease of tool changes, reduces leak risks

The S70 is stronger than its predecessor for excavators in the 20- to 30-ton size class

Last year, engcon launched the S6o machine coupler for excavators in the 12- to 19-ton size class. Now, it's time for the next size: the S70, a model stronger than its predecessor for excavators in the 20- to 30-ton size class.

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," declared Martin Engström, product manager of engcon.

Future launches from engcon

The next step in product development in terms of attachments is the launch of the S40 for the 3- to 6-ton size class, the S45 for the 6- to11-ton size class, as well as the S80 for the 27- to 40-ton size class. These models will be launched in the first half of 2025.

What makes the S70 coupler different?

Some advantages of the improved S70 machine coupler include:

  • EC-Oil block without a hose offers longer life and easier servicing, maintenance and retrofitting.
  • Less environmental impact and fewer machine stops as the risk of leakage is reduced.
  • Reinforced construction both laterally and in the digging direction.
  • Increased stability around attachment points to the machine which contributes to a more pleasant driving feeling.
  • Improved and more flexible hose routing between excavator and machine attachment.
