Performance & Safety
This "GEN" series hitch features Elite’s patented TwinLOCK technology, providing independent mechanical locking on both the front and rear pins. This design ensures that attachments remain securely fastened even if hydraulic pressure fails. The multi-fit geometry, enabled by a long-stroke cylinder, allows the hitch to pick up various bucket brands within the 5.5t class. It is fully compliant with AS4772-2008 and ISO 13031, meaning it functions automatically without a manual safety pin, increasing site efficiency and operator safety.
