en.Wedoany.com Reported - The SQ40 automatic quick coupler, showcased by Steelwrist at Bauma 2025, has entered the US market with multiple upgrades. This coupler is the company's smallest automatic quick coupler, suitable for excavators ranging from 2 to 7 metric tons. It allows operators to quickly switch attachments without leaving the cab, while also supporting use with tilt rotators to enhance attachment maneuverability.

The upgraded SQ40 features a new coupling system with a hydraulic flow area that is 40% larger than standard 3/8-inch couplers, achieving a flow rate of up to 18.5 gallons per minute. Steelwrist has also added a fully integrated six-pin H6 electrical connector within the locking wedge, designed with a molded construction for environmental sealing. The H6 connector features large contact surfaces, including hardened phosphor bronze cores for improved corrosion resistance, and robust spring-loaded pins to enhance transmission capability and high current-carrying capacity.

The SQ40 follows the symmetrical S40 standard, allowing contractors to continue using existing attachments and easily upgrade from the S standard to the SQ standard through hose routing and installation of male couplers integrated on the rear tool shaft. The flexible hose routing design enables the SQ40 to adapt to a variety of hydraulic attachments.

Additionally, Steelwrist recently introduced the new XTR10 tilt rotator for excavators weighing between 13,200 and 22,000 pounds. This new model replaces the X12 and becomes the latest addition to Steelwrist's third-generation tilt rotator series, which includes the XTR2, XTR10, XTR15, XTR20, and XTR23.
