On the 1st of September 2020, Attach2 announced its New Generation Coupler Range in New Zealand, fulfilling its ambition to bring a singular coupler platform to the market.

Since the inception of the patented A2Lock quick coupler base in 2014 and the acquisition of the Sure-Grip base in mid-2019, Attach2's goal was to have just one coupler platform available to the market that provides simplicity, productivity and safety.

Launching the Attach2 Sure-Grip and Heli-Tilt in Australia on July 2019 the re-thought couplers went through an iterative design process that focused on improving the hitches key mechanisms, such as safety latches, motor serviceability and steel properties.

Having served over 12 months in its New Generation form in Australia, Attach2 is offering the Sure-Grip, Heli-Tilt and Ram-Tilt couplers as their exclusive coupler system.

Improvements in Motion

Attach2 focused on upgrading the Sure-Grip coupler system's Safety, Productivity and Product Life.

Starting with the Locking Mechanism, the front latch has a larger beefed-up profile, pin connection geometry and cast from Bisalloy reinforced wear-resistant steel. The new latch improves pin retainment should a major error be made in rear pin locking, if the attachment pin had worn down excessively, resist large rotational forces above previous tolerances.

Steel properties are boosted with the utilisation of Bisalloy materials. Compared to regular G350, the New Generation couplers can boast a 370% better tensile strength, yield strength and hardness; Extending the useful lifetime of the hitch chassis and its endurance in both abrasive and concussive environments.

The Australian designed and built helical motor produces an increased torque punch while maintaining a low-profile design making the Heli-Tilt by objective comparison the strongest in the market for breakout force. The new motor is likewise easier to service, reseal and access, making maintenance and repairs much more friendly.

Isaac Hart, Attach2 Australia's GM and Head of Engineering says of the New Generation design: "A key focus for us was refinement, we've got a lot of expertise in the team, decades of practical and hands-on experience with building, servicing and using hitches including the multiple iterations of JB, A2Lock and Sure-Grip. We wanted more productivity, safety and less servicing requirements where we could, but we kept everything as accessible as possible. We've proven it as a polished coupler system, achieving excellent digging power, reliability and safety for our customers and the best platform to date."

A Focus on Users

Since the start of 2020, Attach2 has doubled down on its focus on customers and users. Introducing a new 3-year warranty policy, Attach2 sought to show customers how much confidence they had in their products, that, they would back it with a warranty policy that exceeds the market norm.

Attach2's CEO Gem Hart says of their customer focus. "Our Passion for Customers has never waned, but we wanted to think more like our customers. What do they want from us? So we bolstered our warranty policy and length, we added transparency, we publicly publish pricing on our website and as many specs as we can fit. And it is something they can expect more from us, as we see it, there will never be a shortage of companies to buy from, but there will always be a shortage of good businesses to partner with."
