The Elite EL15TL-30-GEN is a specialised TwinLOCK hydraulic quick hitch designed for the 1.7-tonne mini-excavator class. Weighing approximately 18.5 kg, it features a 30mm pin diameter and is engineered for all machines types.
Key Features
- TwinLOCK Safety: This is a fully automatic, double-locking hitch. It independently secures both the front and rear pins, ensuring the attachment won't drop or swing even if hydraulic pressure is lost.
- Simplicity: The design uses only three core components—a body, a slide, and a cylinder—reducing wear points and maintenance needs.
- Compliance: It is fully compliant with AS4772-2008 and ISO 13031 standards, eliminating the need for a manual safety pin.
- Multi-Fit Geometry: While specifically designed for 30mm pins, the long-stroke cylinder allows it to pick up various OEM pin centres within its weight class.
This hitch is popular for tight residential jobsites where speed and safety are critical.

Precision Performance: Elite DIY Hydraulic Install Kits
When upgrading to an Elite TwinLock or RotaLock hitch, the final step is ensuring your machine’s hydraulics are as reliable as the hitch itself. To simplify this process, Elite offers specialised DIY Hydraulic Pipe and Hose Kits designed specifically for the 30mm pin range (covering most 1.5 to 2-tonne mini excavators).
