16. ATTACHMENTS Quick coupling system General
Different materials require different types of handling – not necessarily different machines.
SDLG wheel loaders are continually developed to afford high capability in different fields of action.
The quick coupling system enables effective deployment of the wheel loader in situations where previously only purpose-specific machines, like forklifts or cranes, had to be used.
The quick coupling with hydraulic lock is safe and easy to operate.
Thanks to the efficient design of the quick coupling bracket, the difference in operating load between using the direct coupling (pin-on) and the quick coupling (hook-on) is minimal.
Welded quick coupling bracket
The quick coupling bracket manufactured with welded steel plates, in addition to ensuring robustness, has an open design, affording good visibility to operators.
Hydraulic attachment lock system
The attachment can be locked on to the quick coupling bracket from the operator cab via two switches, one on the dashboard and the other on the command lever.
Pins are securely maintained in position by the hydraulic lock system.

17. ATTACHMENTS
Types of buckets

18. ATTACHMENTS Types of buckets General
Bucket volume alone is not an adequate wheel loader capacity measurement factor.
The crucial factor lies in the wheel loader’s capacity to fill the bucket in every cycle.
For this reason, the correct bucket size and profile are important.
A large bucket can result in low productivity as it may be more difficult to fill in certain conditions, while, under the same conditions, a smaller and easier to fill bucket may be more productive.
Several factors must be taken into account, such as the nature of the material to be handled, the loader’s conditions, the skill of the operator and the transport distance.
Long transport distances may result in spills of the material.
Once all these factors vary, a wide range of bucket types is needed in order to achieve maximum productivity.

19. ATTACHMENTS Bucket types General purpose bucket with straight edge
When configured with wear edge bolted on, this is the best choice for re-handling of loose or aggregate material in short cycles or loading and unloading operations.
They can also be configured with bolted on teeth or segments.
When configured with welded teeth and segments , this is the best option for digging out materials from the pile .

20. ATTACHMENTS Bucket types Flat bottom bucket
This bucket has the same advantages of the grading bucket, but it is designed with a high profile of the general purpose type for more versatility.
The bucket`s long and flat bottom make it the ideal choice for applications in earth moving like landscaping, removal of top soil, grading, or work in soft soil conditions.

21. ATTACHMENTS Bucket types Straight edge rock bucket
The best choice for excavating material from the surface.
Recommended configuration with bolt on edge or in combination with segments.

22. ATTACHMENTS Bucket types “Spade nose” rock bucket
The best choice for break out/digging of hard, rocky material or detonation rock.
Recommended configuration with 1 ½ inch adapters, GP or AM teeth and segments.
For gravel, well detonated rock or ore, they can be configured with bolt on edge instead .

23. ATTACHMENTS Bucket types Grading bucket
This bucket has a long flat bottom. They are recommended for earth moving tasks such as removal of the topsoil layer, small-scale material pushing, landscaping and hole filling operations.
One edge is available for the rear part for grading when the machine operates in reverse.

24. ATTACHMENTS Bucket fill factor General
ISO/SAE standards consider calculation with the bucket perfectly horizontal.
However, when installed on wheel loaders, buckets tend to sit a little tipped forward in the transport position.
The angle also varies between manufacturers.
ISO 7546 or SAE J742 volume with crown.
Resting angle of material considered is 1:2 or 27°

25. ATTACHMENTS Bucket fill factor Rock
Bucket fill factor for rock is 85 to 100%.
Aggregate
Bucket fill factor for aggregates (crushed material) is 90 to 100%.
Sand and gravel
Bucket fill factor for sand or gravel is 95 to 105%.
Clay or earth
Bucket fill factor for materials like clay or earth is 100 to 110% or even more.

26. ATTACHMENTS Wear parts Bolt on edge
For buckets with pre-drilled straight or spade nose edges.
Provides protection to the base edge for longer service life.
Bolt on cutting edges are reversible.
Keep bucket bottom flat.
Tooth system
There are several types of teeth for a wide range of different applications ,from easy digging of materials on the pile all the way to break out of hard or rocky materials.
Different adapters and teeth address the needs of different applications.
Segments between points/teeth
Provide long lifetime for the bucket base blade, up to five times longer than for edges without protection between the points.
Provides better finishing for surface.
Increments adapter lifetime because of sharing wear area.
Protects bucket base edge from irregular wear (undulations o the cutting edge).
Segments are recommended for use in combination with 1 ½ leg adapters,
but never with the “flush” assembly type adapters.
To use segments, bucket must be pre-drilled type.

27. ATTACHMENTS Wear parts Points General use
General purpose points are good for break out of loose material from the pile, like sand or gravel.
When combined with “flush” assembly type adapters, these teeth afford a flat surface and clean bucket bottom type.
Self-sharpening design/profile, preserves penetration characteristics and increments service lifetime.
Abrasive material
Abrasive material points are used when extra penetration capacity is required.
A moderate attack profile/angle helps to further protect the bucket base blade while the self-sharpening feature ensures higher penetration capacity and longer lifetime.

28. ATTACHMENTS Wear parts Adapters “Flush” assembly type adapters
Flush assembly adapters welded to the blade are typically used in applications where a flat bucket bottom is not needed and the material to be worked is not extremely abrasive.
This type of adapter is normally used with general purpose points and cannot be combined with segments.
They can be applied both on straight edge or spade nose edges.
Adapters with 1 ½ leg assembly
1 ½ leg adapters are welded to both sides of the cutting edge for better retention and protection.
These adapters are usually combined with segments and used with abrasion resistant points.
Bolt on adapter
Bolt on adapters have 2 legs and are applied on straight edge buckets.
They provide good protection for the cutting edge and are quickly replaced. They are usually combined with segments to preserve flat bucket bottoms and prevent irregular wear of the base cutting edge.
They can be applied on any pre-drilled straight edge bucket.

29. ATTACHMENTS Wear parts Bolt on wear plates Straight edge bucket
Reversible edges and for pre-drilled edge buckets.
Spade nose buckets
eversible edges and for pre-drilled edge buckets.
Refuse movement bucket
Steel edges for pre-drilled edge buckets.
Rubber edges for pre-drilled edge buckets.
Segments
For pre-drilled edge buckets, straight or spade nose. Segments are reversible and used to protect the bucket base blade.

30. ATTACHMENTS Log grapple Log handling Choice of grapple
One of the fundamental principles in choosing your log grapple is that the longer the log, the shorter and wider the grapple should be.
Log grapples are designed to address different working conditions.
Grapple size is usually expressed in m² or ft².
Therefore, the length of the log determines how much can be carried.
The 3rd hydraulic function is required.

31. ATTACHMENTS Log grapple Unloading grapple
The unloading grapple features short and rounded forks.
This facilitates filling the grapple when unloading vehicles.
Long and straight prongs may damage both logs and vehicle, if used for this purpose.
Classification grapple
Classification grapples have relatively long and straight prongs, which slide easily on the floor and make it easier to fill the grapple when the logs are stacked or placed on classification tables.

32. ATTACHMENTS Log grapple General purpose grapple
The general purpose grapple is the ideal tool for handling and sorting long logs or even to transport single large diameter logs.
They feature long prongs like classification grapples.
Load Retainer/Ejector
The hydraulic load retainer/ejector is used in unloading and classification grapples.
The retainer is used, for example, to hold a single large diameter log.
The load ejector is used to stack higher log piles, not using the resource of tipping the grapple to the unload position, in this mode, the load is pushed out (ejected) by the load ejector, thus allowing log stacks to gain additional ½ to 1 meter in height.
Requires a 4th hydraulic function.

33. ATTACHMENTS Log grapple Rotating grapple
The rotating grapple handles 2-3 meter long logs.
It is used to unload vehicles and transportation to the feed table.
Also used to transport from stack to feed table.
These grapples usually have 2 coupling points to the bracket (position “a” or “b”), depending on the grapple size, and log density and length.
The simple action function for the arm lifting system is recommended.
Requires 3rd and 4th hydraulic function.

34. Forks and fork carriers
ATTACHMENTS
Forks and fork carriers
Fork carrier
Fork carriers are coupling brackets placed between the machine’s lifting arm and the forks.
These must be robust and at the same time address operator visibility requirements.
They allow to adjust fork position to the different pallet types.
Pallet forks
There are different fork types, that vary in length, thickness, width, coupling to the fork carrier, etc...for a very wide range of applications.
Deploying the correct fork type is imperative in ensuring operating safety.
The rated operating load is usually in reference to a load center of gravity of 600mm.
As a function of load diversity and their specific centers of gravity, each case must be studied in separate, in order to establish the correct operating load.
Terrain topography, as well as its irregularity, are also factors that must be taken into account in defining the operating load.
During displacement, the lifting arm must always be in the low (transport) position with the load slightly tipped backwards and the forks pointing slightly above horizontal.
Transport speed must be adequate to the conditions of the terrain.
