A mini excavator quick hitch is a specialized hydraulic attachment for excavators, designed to eliminate the time-consuming manual pin removal process when switching between buckets, breakers, grapples and other excavator attachments. It drastically reduces equipment downtime, improves work efficiency, and minimizes the safety risks of manual on-site disassembly for operators.
YG series excavator quick attach includes 7 optimized models from YGMINI to YG100/110, covering excavators from 1.5 tons to 45 tons, with a dedicated design to perfectly match every mini excavator quick hitch application. We precision-engineer each model to match the specifications of mainstream excavators, delivering reliable performance for both small-scale and heavy-duty construction projects.

Application of the YG Mini Excavator Quick Hitch
This series of quick hitches is widely used across multiple construction and engineering scenarios. The compact YGMINI model is ideal for mini excavator applications including landscaping, residential yard work, municipal maintenance, indoor demolition, and farm projects, where space is limited and frequent attachment changes are required. Larger models are suitable for heavy-duty projects such as highway construction, bridge building, foundation engineering, and large-scale earthmoving works. It is an essential attachment for any project that requires switching between multiple excavator tools to maximize work efficiency.
Mini Excavator Quick Hitch Working Principle
The mini excavator quick coupler operates through a hydraulic drive system powered by the host excavator. The hydraulic cylinder controls the retraction and extension of the locking pins, which securely engage with the lug pins of the attachment. We equip the system with a dual safety mechanism: a hydraulic lock maintains consistent pressure during operation, and a mechanical safety lock prevents accidental release of the attachment, even in the event of hydraulic pressure loss. The operator can complete the entire operation inside the excavator cab without manual disassembly, enabling attachment changes in just a few seconds.
YG Mini Excavator Quick Hitch Features
- Full Tonnage Coverage With Precision Matching： Our lineup includes 7 models, perfectly matching excavators from 1.5 tons to 45 tons. The dedicated YGMINI model is tailored for 1.5-4 ton compact excavators, with each model’s pin diameter, pin-to-pin center distance and mounting dimensions fully aligned with mainstream excavator specifications.
- Dual-Lock Safety Protection System： We equip every excavator quick attach with a hydraulic lock and mechanical safety lock dual protection structure, which firmly locks the attachment in place during operation, eliminating the risk of accidental detachment and ensuring maximum operator safety.
- Ultra-fast accessory replacement: The fully hydraulic design allows operators to quickly replace accessories from inside the cab without manually hammering or removing pins, greatly reducing equipment downtime and improving overall work efficiency.
- High-Strength Wear-Resistant Structure： We manufacture the main body from high-strength alloy steel using an integral welding process, which can withstand the impact and load of harsh working conditions. All key components are wear-resistant and treated to ensure long-term stable performance.
- Universal Compatibility： With a wide range of pin sizes and mounting dimension options, our quick hitches are compatible with most mainstream brands of excavators and attachments on the market, with no need for complex modification, enabling plug-and-play installation.
