Only one Q in our series of short blogs looking at the A to Z of courses we do, Q is for Quick Hitch Awareness.   A quick hitch is a device fitted to an excavator or backhoe arm, for the purpose of rapidly mounting or dismounting attachments i.e. buckets. They are also known as ‘quick couplers’.   There are a number of different types of quick hitches including half-hitch, mechanical, semi-automatic and automatic.

This is one of the NPORS bolt on courses, so if you have an excavator operator card but now need to use a quick hitch, this course is for you.
