Tune Up Your Skid Steer Hydraulics for Spring


With spring just around the corner, operators of skid steer machinery and equipment are gearing up to get busy.  Construction, agricultural and Earth moving industries have begun to fine tune their equipment in preparation for their busy season. Tune up your skid steer equipment with reliable, hydraulic quick couplers to get the most out of your machinery.

When planning your next job and making sure your equipment is ready, be sure to get the most productivity and equipment uptime with reliable hydraulic connections.  Earth moving and agricultural applications must ensure leak free connections to protect the environment as well as operate efficiently and safely.  Even small oil spillage leaks on quick coupler release will pose a safety and environmental risk and cause less than ideal productivity.

Consult with a hydraulic quick connect specialist to be sure your hydraulic quick connectors and adapters are ready to go when you are.

Reliable Quick Connect Under Pressure with Threaded Couplers


Threaded quick couplers provide better connections in pressurized applications without premature wear and brinelling.  Threaded flat face couplers ensure reliable connections with the leak free performance of the flat face design.  When coupling or uncoupling hydraulic lines on equipment with residual or trapped pressure, threaded couplers maintain proper fluid control and pressure to last longer for increased efficiency, productivity and safety.

Preventing oil spillage with threaded flat face couplers improves safety to workers and prevents environmental contamination.  Exposure to hydraulic fluid leaks poses serious risks to operators and requires clean up of contaminated soil.  You can save time and money by utilizing the most durable and reliable quick couplers and adapters for maximum performance. 

Threaded Couplers Provide Quick Coupler Solutions in Demanding Applications

Operators of heavy duty equipment must rely on their hydraulic quick couplers to gain maximum productivity.  If you are experiencing quick coupler failure which affects your equipment uptime and productivity, consult with a quick coupler expert to learn the many options available to you.  Quick couplers continue to improve with innovative design and engineering to maximize equipment performance and uptime. 

Stucchi is a leading quick coupling supplier of hydraulic solutions to demanding applications worldwide.  Our threaded, flat face quick couplers are proven in heavy duty, construction, demolition and mobile equipment to maximize equipment uptime and productivity.  We offer a wide selection of threaded quick couplers such as the VEP Series, which includes heavy duty and locking couplers for foolproof connections. 

The VEP Series includes:
       VEP – the VEP is a threaded, flat face quick coupler which is ideal in applications subjected to locked pressure. 
       VEPHD – The same advantages of the VEP threaded coupler with a heavier duty design and QPQ plating.  Made from durable steel, the VEPHD will outlast demanding applications.
       VEPHDL – The most failsafe quick coupler connection for heavy duty process, the VEPHDL is heavy duty and locking with a visual indicator for foolproof connections. 

The VEP series provides reliable hydraulic solutions to the most demanding of applications.  When you need your couplers to outlast days of heavy torsion, pressure and vibrations, the VEP series will give you connections you can count on. 

Stucchi leads the industry with first to market, innovative hydraulic quick coupler solutions.  We excel at problem solving and thinking outside the box for unique, custom designed hydraulic solutions.  Contact us to learn how to improve your hydraulic application and for more information on our proven threaded flat face quick couplers.

Realize the Benefits of Multi-Plates for Multiple Lines


When quick coupling multiple lines, manual connections run the risk of human error if couplers are not fully connected properly, crossed lines and inefficient operations due to the time it takes to couple and uncouple many connectors. Multi-plates for hydraulic, electrical and pneumatic lines solve the problem of inefficiency and safety where multiple lines are used.  Multi-coupling plates allow for the quick connect and quick release of many lines at once, with one, simple movement. 

Multi-plates are used in many industrial applications and mobile equipment for quick and easy changeovers and reliable connections.  Companies that utilize multi-plates realize several benefits such as:
       Improved efficiency and productivity
       Secure connections with auto-locking features
       Simple, quick and easy coupling and uncoupling
       Easier quick connect in applications under pressure
       Improved safety to workers
       Reduction of environmental contamination by eliminating oil spillage

Many industrial applications are realizing the benefits of using multi-plates such as companies in the oil and gas industry, construction and heavy duty equipment, mobile and agricultural equipment.  Many Earth moving equipment processes make changeovers seamless with multi-coupling plates.

Stucchi Offers Multi-Plate Solutions for Multiple Line Connections

Stucchi is recognized worldwide for providing hydraulic solutions which improve efficiency, safety and productivity.  Our multi-coupling plates product line includes many variations to provide the right multi-plate for your application:
