Quicke goes digital

Loader specialist Quicke Australia has released its new Q-companion digital screen and smart sensor technology that can be fitted to new Q series loaders.

The Q-companion allows weighing during the loader lift cycle, with information such as current and remaining lift capacity displaying on a screen in the cab.

Angle sensors on the top of the loader arm and at the tool carrier end notifies operators of the height and angle of the implement. Operators can calibrate implements to level with the Q-companion, and store calibration settings for up to 10 implements for faster future operations.

Quicke Australia’s Adam Durston says the company spent thousands of hours developing and extensively testing the new product for agricultural applications such as bucket work, bale handling, pallets and big bag lifting.

“Like other ground-breaking innovations from Quicke Australia, the Q-companion is all about increasing productivity by delivering more efficiencies,” he says.

“It’s a unique system for easily weighing your load while lifting and monitoring the position of your implement and load. You can also set up maintenance reminders to help prolong the life of your loader and minimise downtime.

“It’s a smart product built to very high quality standards, and it’s something farmers have been waiting for.

“When it comes to safety, productivity and control, the Q-companion is a big step forward. “
