Tyler Albert, Midwest regional sales manager for Werk-Brau, walks you through the D Lock tilt coupler at Miller Bradford in De Pere, Wisconsin. It's tooled up on a Case CX140 with the dual pin grabber bottom.

The coupler tilts left and right on a helical actuator. That worm gear design gives you controlled tilt with no rotation. You get versatility for sloping, ditching, and finish work.

The bottom is the standard Werk-Brau dual lock coupler. It accepts 65 and 60 millimeter pins on this build. It is a multi pin grab design for fleets running different attachments. You can spec it for compact utility excavators and full-size machines. You can also choose a mechanical bottom or hydraulic bottom. 

Hey, guys. Welcome back to Werk-Brau, my name is Tyler. I'm the Midwest regional sales manager. We're out here in beautiful Depere, Wisconsin with one of our core dealers, Miller Bradford. And what we're going to briefly go over today is our hydraulic D lock tilt coupler.

Currently this CX 140 is tooled up with our dual pin grabber. So the benefit of this coupler, it allows the operator to tilt a attachment left and right. So what that does for the operator, it allows them to minimize the amount of times that they have to reposition their machine to get to that final grade.

The coupler tilts on with a heel like actuator. So that's a worm gear that allows the attachment to tilt to the left and the right. There's no rotation, just simply tilt left and right.

And then on the bottom it's got our standard dual lock coupler. So it accepts 65 and 60 millimeter pins. This is a multi pin grab coupler. The d lock tilt coupler is used on both compact utility excavators, and the full size. So there's also the option where you can actually have a mechanical bottom or hydraulic bottom. It just depends on, what attachments you're picking up or what's existing in your fleet.

If you're looking to add a little bit of more versatility to your machine, this would definitely be a good product for you.

For more information, go ahead and reach out to your regional sales manager or reach out to our inside sales team. We'd be glad to, make sure we get you on the right product.

Thanks for tuning in, and we'll talk to you soon.
