Sandvik and Steelwrist announce collaboration for fully automatic Open-S head plates and adapters for Rammer hammers

With global demand for fully automatic clutch systems growing rapidly, Sandvik will begin offering Steelwrist SQ-type adapter plates directly from the factory in the third quarter of 2021. This will bring Sandvik's products into compliance with the global Open-S standard.

Sandvik is a leading supplier/manufacturer of equipment and attachments, service and technical solutions for the demolition, mining and construction industries. Sandvik offers a complete range of demolition tools under the Rammer brand. Rammer's well-known hydraulic hammers are powerful, productive and durable hydraulic equipment suitable for carriers in the weight range from 0.6 to 120 tons.

The goal of the collaboration between the two companies is to increase productivity and reduce downtime for end users as the interface between the tool and adapter plate can be optimized for performance and compatibility.

"Rammer hammers are known for their reliability, so we want to guarantee the best possible performance, even when using fully automatic quick couplers. For this reason, we want to offer SQ system adapter sets that fit our hammers perfectly. Together with Steelwrist, we will ensure that the use of Rammer hammers is even more effective," says Jari Paajanen, Product Line Manager at Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions.

The Steelwrist SQ Auto Connection System is especially appreciated by customers for its increased safety and ability to change hydraulically driven attachments in seconds without leaving the cab. Steelwrist SQ products follow the worldwide Open-S industry standard for fully automatic quick couplers.

"Steelwrist SQ products combined with Rammer hydraulic hammers make for a perfect combination. Our QPlus technology enables higher hydraulic flows with less pressure loss compared to other systems on the market. The combined product advantages of Steelwrist and Sandvik will certainly be appreciated by our customers," said Toni Ylitalo, SQ Products Specialist at Steelwrist.
