Cat’s new universal coupler quickly attaches skid-steer tools to mini excavators

Caterpillar has introduced a new universal coupler designed for use with 4-ton, 5-ton and 8-ton mini excavators.

The new Cat Mini Hydraulic Excavator Universal Coupler allows for skid-steer attachments to be used and interchanged quickly on these excavators.

The coupler either pins to the stick or can be picked up with Cat’s Dual Lock Coupler. Manual handles lock the tools in place.

Attachments compatible with the coupler include bale spears, pallet forks, and multi- and general-purpose buckets.
