Steelwrist SQ auto connection system
With Steelwrist SQ technology you change between hydraulic powered work tools as well as mechanical work tools in only seconds – all without leaving the cab! Our comprehensive offering consists of a range of automatic couplers with eight different models for excavators from 2-70 tonnes. Our patented Qplus™ technology gives you higher oil flow, more uptime and improved serviceability. Steelwrist SQ delivers the hydraulic flow needed to run hydraulic breakers and other high-flow hydraulic attachments.
The larger SQ80 and SQ90 couplers are common for demolition machines. The SQ80 coupler fits demolition machines in the 25-43 tonne range, and handles oil flows up to 450l/min. The SQ90 coupler for big demolition excavators of up to 70 tonnes has the capacity to handle oil flows up to 900 l/min.

Find the specifications for your needs
The hydraulic requirements of the work tools and the machine weight define which coupler size that will be suitable for you. Important questions when selecting the correct quick coupler are:
- What are the work tools flow requirements?
- How many functions do the work tools have?
- Do the work tools require a drain line?
- What is the machine weight?

SAFETY IN FOCUS
On demolition job sites safety is crucial and the need to avoid personnel in the demolition zone is often mandatory, and therefore equipping the excavators with automatic couplers increases safety as well as productivity. No need for personnel to manually connect or disconnect attachments near heavy machinery.
Steelwrist has developed systems for enhanced safety on quick couplers for excavators that minimize the risk of a dropped bucket or work tool. Read more about our safety solutions for quick couplers and tiltrotators.

Open-S - the open industry standard for automatic couplers
In the process of developing the Steelwrist SQ technology we realized that the world does not need another proprietary solution that locks the contractor into only using components from one manufacturer. We believe in open standard interfaces, so the SQ system is designed to be able to connect to other brands using the same type of oil connection system, following the Open-S (OS®) symmetrical standard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the Steelwrist SQ system improve efficiency and productivity?
- The system significantly boosts efficiency by allowing hydraulic work tool changes in seconds (both with the quick coupler and under the tiltrotator), ensuring you can always have the correct tool attached to your excavator for the task at hand. This minimizes downtime.
How does the SQ system enhance safety for the excavator operator?
- The system enhances safety by allowing all work tool changes and hydraulic hose connections to be done safely from inside the cab. The operator no longer has to leave the cabin, reducing risk in the work area.
What is the benefit of the Steelwrist SQ system being compliant with the Open-S standard?
- Compliance with the rapidly growing Open-S standard gives customers the freedom to choose quick couplers, tiltrotators, and work tools from different suppliers and solutions, ensuring compatibility and flexibility.
How do I buy the Steelwrist products?
- The best way to buy Steelwrist products is by locating an authorized dealer, or by requesting a price quote directly from the Steelwrist sales department via their online form or sales hotline.
What are the key advantages of using the Steelwrist SQ System?
- Increased Efficiency: Hydraulic work tool changes are completed in seconds (both with the quick coupler and under the tiltrotator), ensuring the correct tool is always connected.
- Enhanced Safety: All work tool changes and hydraulic hose connections are done safely from inside the cab, eliminating the need for the operator to leave the machine.
- Reduced Breakdowns: The system has no more loose, long, hanging hoses, which minimizes hose breakdowns and leakages, saving money on repairs and downtime.
Can I connect work tools from other hydraulic brands?
- Yes. Steelwrist offers adaptor plates that allow for seamless integration of hydraulic work tools from different brands with the SQ system.
What are the maximum hydraulic flow capacities for each coupler model?
- Model Maximum Hydraulic Flow
- SQ70 Up to 450 L/min for the main circuit
- SQ80 Up to 450 L/min and even more
- SQ90 Up to an incredible 900 L/min
Which excavator weight class does each SQ model correspond to?
- SQ70 Is designed for the 20-ton class and upwards.
- SQ80 Is the volume model for demolition, designed for excavators between 25 to 43 tons.
- SQ90 Is the biggest model, designed for excavators up to 75 tons (recommended machine weight is 40 to 75 tons).
Which tiltrotator models are compatible with the SQ70 and SQ80?
- SQ70 Is available for XTR23, X26, and X32 tiltrotators. XTR models are also possible to upgrade from S to SQ.
- SQ80 Is available for X32 tiltrotators, which is the biggest tiltrotator in the portfolio compatible with the SQ80.
What is the SQ70/55 quick coupler, and how does it differ from the SQ70?
- The SQ70/55 is a regional, wider version of the SQ70 quick coupler with more oil couplings and different physical dimensions, mainly used in specific European markets. It belongs to the Steelwrist SQ family but is not a standard global model, meaning it’s only used where an installed base already exists and is not compatible with the SQ70.
