Which coupler is on your machine?

Pick the system on your machine and we put it in your enquiry. We check the bracket before we send the quote.

How to measure your coupler
Drawing of a bracket with the pin diameter (1), the pin centre distance (2) and the ear width (3) marked

Not sure which system it is? Three measurements tell us which bracket you need.

  1. Measure the diameter of both pins.
  2. Measure the distance between the pin centres.
  3. Measure the width between the inside faces of the ears.

If the coupler has a make or type printed on it, send that too.

Before you order: check the interface

The weight class of the JCB 16C-1 sizes the attachment. It does not tell you the pin diameter, the pin spacing or the stick width, and those decide whether an attachment fits. Measure them on the machine, or send us the measurements of the bucket it runs today.

On a mini excavator the weight of the attachment counts for more than on a larger machine, because every kilogram of bucket is taken from lift capacity and stability. A narrow trenching bucket and a wide grading bucket are the usual pair, and many machines run a small quick coupler to change between them.

Quick coupler brackets at this weight

In our model tables, the attachments listed for the JCB 16C-1 at its weight are built with these brackets. Each code opens the models that list it.

  1. Measure the diameter of both bucket pins.
  2. Measure the distance between the pin centres.
  3. Measure the inside width between the stick ears.
  4. If the machine runs a quick coupler, note its make and type.

What the 16C-1 figures mean for its attachments

  • Its auxiliary circuit is rated at 32 l/min and 200 bar. A breaker, auger, tilt rotator or other hydraulic tool states the oil flow it needs, so choose one whose range includes this figure.document from greenshieldsjcb.com
  • The main pump delivers up to 42 l/min at 205 bar. That is the pump output of the whole machine, not the flow an attachment gets.document from greenshieldsjcb.com
  • JCB lists this quick coupler for it: Mechanical quick hitch. The bracket on every attachment has to match the coupler.document from greenshieldsjcb.com
  • It digs down to 2,570 mm. That is the deepest trench it can open.
  • Its maximum reach is 3,981 mm.document from greenshieldsjcb.com
  • It dumps at up to 2,630 mm, so a truck or skip side has to sit below that height.
  • JCB offers arms from 950 to 1,100 mm. A longer arm reaches further, a shorter one handles a heavier bucket.document from greenshieldsjcb.com
  • Bucket breakout force is 15.6 kN and arm crowd force 8.8 kN. That is the force a bucket or ripper works with at the tooth.document from greenshieldsjcb.com
  • For transport it measures 3,860 x 980 x 2,342 mm (length, width, height).document from greenshieldsjcb.com
  • Engine power is 11.7 kW.
