Genuine Twin Locking Coupler Test
If you are in any doubt about how to conduct this test safely, or how to safely perform attachment changeovers on a machine with a quick coupler you should consult a suitable health and safety professional.
After conducting the test, regardless of the result, you should make sure that the attachment is securely locked in place, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Not all couplers are created equal. To stay safe on-site and comply with all major contractor’s quick coupler policies you must have a genuine twin locking device.
Don’t leave it to chance. Follow our simple test to make sure the quick coupler you own or the one you are about to purchase is a genuine twin locking device. It only takes a minute – can you afford not to?

What to do next…
So, just what does it mean to coupler users who operate a coupler that does not comply with these standards?
Put simply, it means that if an accident occurs with a quick coupler an investigation will be carried out to determine whether or not the coupler installed to your machine conforms to the above standards, if it does NOT then the responsibility of this and all resulting actions will unfortunately be yours.
