CP By Paladin
Quick Hitch™ mechanical
60 lbs
Overview
This Paladin CP mini excavator quick coupler is a mechanical Quick Hitch™ coupler for 2 to 12 tonne excavators. It provides a simple and reliable means of adding versatility to your machine: an interchange coupler for easy attachment changes, which operates with a variety of attachments including hammers. It weighs 60 lbs.
Key Features of This Paladin Mini Excavator Quick Coupler
- Mechanical Quick Hitch™ coupler — no hydraulic circuit needed to change attachments.
- Suitable for 2T to 12T excavators, a wide span for a single coupler.
- Interchange design for easy attachment changes.
- Operates with a variety of attachments, including hammers — not buckets only.
- 60 lbs — light enough that it costs almost nothing in lift capacity.
- Often searched for as a quick hitch for mini excavator — same product, different trade name.
- Sometimes listed as a 2 ton excavator coupler, which is the term some regions use.
- Buyers also ask for this as a mechanical quick coupler.
- Catalogued elsewhere as a CP excavator coupler — the naming varies more than the product does.
Why Choose This Attachment
- A coupler pays for itself in changeover time. Pinning an attachment by hand takes two people and a hammer; a quick coupler is one operator and under a minute. On a job with three attachments that is the whole argument.
- Mechanical or hydraulic is the real decision. Mechanical means the operator gets out to lock it — cheaper, simpler, nothing to leak. Hydraulic changes from the cab but needs a circuit and adds failure points.
- The coupler moves the attachment further from the boom. That costs a little breakout force, which is the honest trade against swap speed. On a mini excavator running several attachments, speed usually wins.

Which Coupler Size Do You Need?
CP couplers are sized by machine class, and the classes overlap — the 2 MT unit covers 2 to 12 tonnes.
| Coupler | Machine class | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Metric Ton (this) | 2–12 tonne excavators | The widest span in the CP range |
| 3 Metric Ton | 3 tonne class | Sized to a narrower band |
| 5 Metric Ton | 5 tonne class | Mid-range machines |
| 8 Metric Ton | 8 tonne class | Heaviest of the CP excavator couplers |
For larger machines the Class 200 coupler covers wheel loaders, and the 8 metric ton coupler is the heaviest excavator unit in the CP range.
Which Machines Fit This Mini Excavator Quick Coupler?
This coupler suits 2 to 12 tonne excavators. It is mechanical, so no auxiliary hydraulic circuit is required — the operator locks it manually. Machine make and model determine the exact pin spacing, so confirm both before ordering rather than working from tonnage alone.
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Carrier | 2–12 tonne excavator |
| Coupler type | Mechanical Quick Hitch™ |
| Attachment weight | 60 lbs |
| Hydraulics | None required |

Mini Excavator Quick Coupler Questions, Answered
Will one coupler really fit 2 to 12 tonne machines?
That is the published range, but pin spacing varies by make and model within it. Give us the machine make and model and we will confirm the exact fit — tonnage alone is not enough.
What is the difference between mechanical and hydraulic?
Mechanical means the operator leaves the cab to lock the attachment. Hydraulic changes from the seat but needs a circuit and adds hoses that can fail. Mechanical is cheaper and has less to go wrong.
Can I use it with a hammer?
Yes — Paladin publish that it operates with a variety of attachments including hammers, not buckets only.
Does a coupler reduce digging force?
Slightly. It sets the attachment a little further from the boom, which costs some breakout. That is the trade for changing attachments in under a minute.
Is a quick hitch the same as a quick coupler?
Same thing, different regional term. Quick hitch is more common in the UK and Australia; quick coupler in North America.
Do I need one coupler per attachment?
No — one coupler on the machine, and each attachment carries the matching pins or bracket. That is the whole point: the coupler stays on the boom and the attachments come and go.
Is it safe to leave attachments on a mechanical coupler overnight?
Yes, provided it is properly locked. Mechanical couplers hold without hydraulic pressure, which is one of their advantages over hydraulic units — nothing bleeds down.
What if I change machines later?
The coupler is sized to the machine, so it moves with that excavator rather than the attachments. Attachments cut for this coupler stay usable as long as you keep the same coupler standard.
Is this the same as a mini digger quick hitch?
Yes — mini digger quick hitch, excavator attachment coupler, manual quick coupler all describe this product. Terminology varies by region and trade.
