Weld-On Plates For Skid Steer - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

Haugen's skid steer mounting plates (weld-on series) are the same Universal Quick Attach mounting plates installed on every Haugen attachment from the factory — now available separately for fabricating custom attachments, replacing damaged plates, or adding SSQA compatibility to homemade or repurposed equipment. Available in four standard configurations (1/4" and 5/16" thickness, with or without window) plus a 3/8" heavy-duty series and a two-piece light-duty option. Not painted — ready to weld. Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

• Same plates as factory Haugen attachment standard
• 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" thickness options
• Window or No Holes configurations
• Not painted — ready to weld immediately
• Two-piece light-duty option (MCUP)
• Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) | Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• Using the same plate as factory Haugen attachments ensures engagement geometry is identical to standard attachments — quick attach engagement depends on precise pin hole spacing and locking wedge geometry. Using the same plate that Haugen installs on production attachments ensures your custom build engages the machine's QA system exactly as intended, without risk of misalignment or partial engagement.
• Window improves operator visibility for precision work directly below the attachment — the window cut in the plate provides a sightline from the cab downward through the QA plate to the attachment working area. This is valuable for precision work like trenching, grading, or any application where the operator needs to see directly below the attachment face.
• 5/16" thickness (MHUP/MHUPS) is the most-ordered for commercial fabrication — per skidsteersdirect.com, the 5/16" plates are the most commonly purchased. This thickness provides the right balance between weld strength and plate weight for most commercial attachment builds, including welded forks, box blades, and custom grapple builds.
• Shipping within one day allows rapid fabrication schedule — plates are typically kept in stock and ship same or next day, allowing fabricators to build attachment frames and have the QA plate available when welding is ready without holding up the project.
