The Hydratach System

Multiple attachments on one loader

A Better Approach to Buying Municipal Equipment

The Hydratach system takes a new approach to acquiring municipal equipment. The traditional approach requires buying attachments with proprietary operator controls with cumbersome setups and training and leave loaders bogged down to only be utilized for certain attachments. Attachments with large power requirements have integrated power units that are underutilized and often sit in storage most of the year.

Hydratach attachments use the same universal attachment interface and the same joystick controls regardless of being loader direct or utilizing a Hydratach power unit. The control wirelessly pairs and adapts to the attachment in moments.

This system opens up a world of advantages:

  • You only need to train employees on one set of controls
  • It reduces capital expenditures for cities and counties by hundreds of thousands of dollars, as expensive power units can be used year-round on multiple attachments.
  • Future fleet expansion: Attachments can be added to the system years later. The Hydratach control will pair and configure to the new attachment without needing to update control system.
  • Fleets with multiple loaders can pair to attachment. No longer need dedicated loaders to dedicated attachments.
  • Customer service and support are much easier. Instead of having multiple contacts and multiple dealers for separate pieces of equipment, you can troubleshoot any issues through one 24/7 support line

How It All Connects

Click image to enlarge

Universal Wheel Loader Attachment System

Single Carrier, Single Controller

The system can recognize and pair to new attachments in minutes. This means an operator can quickly go from a power unit attachment (such as a snow blower) to a loader-direct attachment (such as a wing plow or angle broom). The universal control and joystick will recognize and configure accordingly.

Fast, Automatic Coupling System

High-capacity attachments that require the power unit have a hydraulic quick coupler system to connect. This enables the power unit to be quickly utilized on various attachments, eliminating the need for each attachment to have its own power source.

The Hydratach system can control loader-direct attachments as well as high-capacity attachments through the power unit.

Universal Wireless Controls

All Hydratach attachments are controlled by a joystick. The system recognizes each attachment when it's hooked up to the loader and adjusts accordingly. These controls are easy to learn, and once you learn them, you are able to run every implement that Hydratach manufactures.

Instantly Recognize Each Attachment

A universal wireless control system automatically recognizes each attachment and configures the display and joystick to operate that attachment. Engine, hydraulic, and electric parameters adjust to each attachment instantly. If there are several loaders and attachments in the fleet, they can all easily interchange. There is no need to have a single loader that is devoted to a specific attachment, due to having a universal operator interface for all attachments.

Joystick Controls

Snow Plows (Example)

  • Blade angulation
  • Individual wing adjustment
  • Simultaneous wing adjustment
  • Blade downforce adjustment (optional)

Universal Skid Steer Hitch

To make things even more modular, we created our boom arm to interface with compatible skid steer attachments. Meaning, you can use Hydratach attachments or third-party skid steer attachments like augers, saws, mowers, and more, and they can be run on your wheel loader.
