LEA - Model BucketSwitch -Excavator Quick Coupler Alternative
The patented BucketSwitch (AlignAttach) allows you to change excavator attachments without the use of an expensive coupler, or coupler hydraulics. It saves you time, compared to manually changing attachments. It maintains your high breakout force, compared to using a coupler. It saves you on your cycle time and fuel compared to using a coupler. Eliminates the risk of coupler circuit hydraulic contaminants.

The BucketSwitch (AlignAttach) is a tool that simplifies changing attachments by helping you to align the pins. There is no loss of breakout force due to increased tip radius from coupler use. There is not the added weight of a coupler to your linkage when attachment is changed. There is no need for an additional hydraulic circuit. The AlignAttach is a simple tool that is only used when changing attachments, simply eliminating the need for a coupler, and thus eliminates the cost and problems associated with couplers.
The BucketSwitch (AlignAttach) is a quick change coupler alternative alignment tool that helps an operator align the attachment pins by holding the attachment in a centered and paralell position while holding the center of gravity of the attachment such that the force through the pin joint is reduced sufficiently to facilitate easy insertion and positioning of the pins and pin locking bolts. Current quick change couplers add to the tip radius resulting in decreased breakout force. Couplers are heavy, thus decrease lifting load and increase fuel consumption, and they are expensive. Hydraulic couplers are even more expensive and require kits that can introduce contaminants into the hydraulic system.
