A field demonstration of the Auto Hydraulic Quick Coupler was held recently at Loggabull’s harvesting operation in Kinleith Forest on New Zealand’s north island, showing how one machine and operator can carry out multiple tasks. Source: Timberbiz This project and field demonstration of the Automated Quick Coupler was part of the FGR Automation & Robotics Primary Growth Partnership led by FGR Program Manager Keith Raymond. This project developed an Automatic Quick Coupler for rapid changeover of machine attachments without the operator having to leave the cab. Using the Automatic Quick Coupler with multiple attachments, only one based machine is required for log processing, sorting and loading, resulting in reduced capital cost, higher machine utilisation and lower operating costs. The Quick Coupler is suited to lower production operations where there is spare capacity. The demonstration was positively received and attended by close to 60 attendees, from forest management companies and logging contractors from both corporate and woodlot scenarios, who saw the huge potential and advantages of what the Quick Coupler provides. Anyone interested in purchasing the demo machine with attachments can contact Phillip McKenzie at AB Equipment Ltd, Taupo phil.mckenzie@abequipment.co.nz
