A key innovation is the new Selectofix hydraulic connection system.
Well-known Swedish front-end loader manufacturer Quicke is launching the Q-series Facelift and Q-Companion 2.0 system.
It is said to build on the range’s reputation for reliability and operator comfort, combining refined design, enhanced functionality, and advanced smart features to deliver greater efficiency, visibility, durability, via mechanical innovation and digital intelligence.
A key innovation with the Q-series facelift is the new Selectofix hydraulic connection system, engineered to simplify the link between loader and implement, allowing safe and rapid connection or disconnection, even under pressure.
With a flow capacity of up to 60 l/min and minimal pressure drop, the system ensures reliable performance in demanding applications.
For broader compatibility, a quick adaptor with ISO/A couplings allows implements without the Selectofix format to be shared seamlessly across Q-series loaders, N-series loaders, telehandlers, and wheel loaders.
Design changes see improved front visibility allows for greater precision, while new hose routing enhances side visibility and simplifies attachment and detachment procedures.
Visibility is further enhanced by the introduction of new loader lights, each delivering 1,100 lumens over a wide arc, boosting visibility in poor lighting conditions, leading to work safety and efficiency.
All models now feature a new, more robust, heavy-duty loader beam, with the key structural upgrade said to increase durability and extending the overall lifetime of the loader.
The new Q-Companion 2.0 boosts efficiency in material handling with a range of advanced features, including selfimplement calibration, covering attachment, tare and weighing. Live weight readings are offered in any boom position, alongside realtime monitoring via the Quicke Mobile App, connected via Bluetooth. Additional functions include recipe creation, automatic implement recognition, and the PDF export of machine activity logs to streamline daily operations.
