Elite Attachments Australia (often associated with Elite Engineering) is a premier manufacturer of quick hitches for excavators, ranging from 1-tonne mini-diggers to 100-tonne heavy-duty machines. Their product philosophy centers on a "simple, strong, and safe" design, typically utilizing only three core components: a robust fabricated body, a slide, and a heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder.

Core Product Range:

  • Elite TwinLOCK Quick Hitch: This is the flagship model, recognized for its reliability. It features a patented automatic double-locking system that secures both the front and rear pins independently. This ensures that even in the event of a hydraulic failure, the attachment remains safely attached to the hitch.
  • Elite RotaLOCK Tilting Hitch: A game-changer for site efficiency, the RotaLOCK combines the TwinLOCK safety features with a high-torque helical actuator. It provides up to 90° of tilt on either side, allowing operators to work in tight spaces and complex angles without repositioning the machine. It is notably the first hitch in Australia to receive the "Australian Made" license.
  • Elite Hybrid Hitches: These are custom-engineered solutions designed to help operators use existing buckets from different machine models on new excavators. Elite’s engineers customize the hitch specs to bridge compatibility gaps, often delivering these bespoke units within 2–3 weeks.


Key Engineering Features

Elite hitches are built with thicker steel than many industry standards and feature long-stroke cylinders, which provide the largest pin centre pick-up range in the market. This versatility allows a single hitch to pick up a wider variety of attachments. Furthermore, the designs are fully compliant with AS4772-2008 and ISO 13031 standards, ensuring they meet rigorous Australian safety regulations.
