In early 2025, a construction contractor from Saudi Arabia contacted YG Machinery to purchase three mini excavator quick hitches for their ongoing urban infrastructure project in Riyadh. The client was operating several 2–4 ton mini excavators and needed a reliable quick attachment system to improve work efficiency and reduce manual tool changes. After comparing multiple suppliers, they chose YG Machinery because of its robust design, quick delivery, and competitive price.
The Growing Demand for Mini Excavator Quick Hitch in Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia’s construction market, mini excavator quick hitches are becoming increasingly popular among small and medium-sized contractors. The country’s Vision 2030 plan has accelerated numerous urban projects, including housing development, landscaping, and road maintenance. Contractors often face tight deadlines and diverse working conditions — from soft sand to compacted gravel — which require frequent switching between buckets, breakers, and augers. Manually changing attachments wastes time and increases safety risks.
To solve these challenges, YG Machinery provides hydraulic quick coupler excavator systems that allow operators to change tools within 10–20 seconds without leaving the cabin. This technology has quickly gained traction among Saudi customers.
Product Supplied: YG Mini Excavator Quick Hitch Series
YG Machinery delivered three customized mini excavator quick hitches — hydraulic quick coupler excavator model — compatible with Kubota and Yanmar mini excavators.
Key specifications and advantages:
Material: High-strength alloy steel with precision CNC welding, ensuring long service life under harsh desert conditions.
Operating weight range: 1.5–6 tons (suitable for most mini excavators).
Locking system: Double-safety pin and hydraulic cylinder lock (for the hydraulic version), preventing accidental detachment.
Connection time: Less than 20 seconds for hydraulic version; about 1 minute for manual type.
Installation: Bolt-on design with adjustable pin spacing for various bucket types.
Compatibility: Fits multiple brands including Kubota, Yanmar, Bobcat, CAT, and Doosan mini excavators.
The Saudi client noted that after installation, their daily efficiency increased by over 30%, and operator fatigue was greatly reduced. They also appreciated that YG’s quick coupler system required minimal maintenance even under high-temperature working environments.
After three months of use, the client sent positive feedback:
“The YG mini excavator quick hitch is very durable and easy to use. Our operators can switch attachments without tools, which saves a lot of time. The hydraulic version works perfectly in our local conditions.”
The client later expressed interest in ordering five more units for their new projects in Jeddah and Dammam.
Q1: What’s the difference between a hydraulic and manual quick coupler for excavator? A hydraulic quick coupler allows operators to switch attachments directly from the cab using a button, while a manual quick coupler requires a wrench or lever to unlock. Hydraulic types are faster and safer for frequent changes.
Q2: How to choose the right mini excavator quick hitch model? It depends on your excavator’s weight class, pin diameter, and working conditions. YG engineers help customers customize the mounting plate and locking system to ensure perfect fit.
Q3: How often should I maintain the coupler? For manual quick couplers, lubrication is recommended every 50 working hours. For hydraulic quick coupler excavator types, check hydraulic seals and pins monthly for optimal performance.
Q4: What is the typical shipping time to Saudi Arabia? Generally, 15–20 days after payment. YG Machinery also supports door-to-door delivery to major Saudi ports such as Dammam and Jeddah.
The cooperation between YG Machinery and the Saudi client demonstrates how mini excavator quick hitches are transforming small-scale construction projects in the Middle East. With fast installation, durable materials, and customizable options, YG’s excavator coupler systems provide a perfect balance of safety and efficiency.
