Description
Overview:
This manual quick hitch is a heavy-duty steel coupling designed to speed up attachment changes on Volvo mini excavators, specifically the EC20 and EC20B. It replaces the need to knock out bucket pins for every swap, letting you switch tools quickly and get back to work. As a non-genuine part, it offers a practical and cost-effective alternative while matching the key mounting dimensions of these models: 35 mm pin diameter, 124 mm dipper gap, and 165 mm pin centres. The simple manual mechanism provides positive engagement with the attachment once fitted to a machine with the correct pin geometry. Identified by MPN 996 455, it is built for regular site use and is straightforward to install and maintain for reliable day-to-day operation.
