Quicke Launches New Q-Series Facelift and Q-Companion 2.0
Well-known Swedish front-end loader manufacturer Quicke is launching the Q-series Facelift and Q-Companion 2.0 system.
Already well known as a leading manufacturer of front-end loaders and having developed the first quick detach loader nearly 60 years ago, Quicke also builds a wide range of implements, including a wrapped bale-handling range with new and recently updated options.
Engineered for modern farms and contractors, the new implements feature proven designs with targeted updates for greater productivity, safer handling of wrapped bales, and longer service life. Quicke now offers everything farmers need for bale handling within one portfolio.
Offering a complete bale handling portfolio – Unigrip S+, M+, L+, XL+, and Quadrogrip TS – the unified range delivers a solution for every wrapped bale type and operational need.
Unigrip S+ & M+ offer a secure grip without damaging silage or wrap and excellent stacking ability, making them ideal for front loaders and lighter material handlers. Enhanced kinematics and reinforcement in key stress points ensure precise, safe handling, while optional accessories include bale support, relief valve, and load hold valve to suit a wide range of operations.
Unigrip L+ & XL+ are built for intensive use and high productivity, offering the ability to handle two bales simultaneously, with optional second bale support. Accessories include an equaliser bar, and load hold valve for demanding or poor ground conditions.
Quadrogrip TS is a solution for square bales, featuring a telescopic design, makes it perfect in narrow or tight spaces. Features include robust engineering and easily adjustable wear pads keeping telescopic arms in position, a grease-free design, alongside the optional 2nd bale support, and load hold valve.
Henrik Jönsson, Quicke product manager implements, says the launch of the new and updated wrapped bale handling portfolio “means we can deliver a complete solution for customers from small farms to large contractors, while delivering performance, precision, and reliability for every wrapped bale”.
