OilQuick and Normet Launch New Xquick

Published: 15/1

OilQuick and Finnish underground mining and tunneling technology specialist Normet have teamed up to develop the new Xquick coupler system, designed to revolutionize mining efficiency, safety, and sustainability. The new Normet Xquick coupler, based on OilQuick’s quick coupler technology, allows operators to change tools and attachments in a matter of seconds without any workers around the machine. It completely eliminates the need for manual tool changes, reducing risk and enhancing productivity in underground operations.

The addition of Xquick to Normet’s Xrock suite represents a breakthrough for mining and construction companies seeking to enhance both productivity and safety. The Xquick coupler offers seamless and rapid switching between a variety of tools, enabling operators to handle multiple tasks using a single machine. This flexibility optimizes fleet management, reduces equipment costs, and maximizes uptime on job sites.

“We are thrilled to bring Xquick couplers to the mining market in partnership with OilQuick,” says Jyrki Hyyrönmäki, global sales sirector of Normet’s Xrock Breaker Product Line. “This collaboration allows us to create new business opportunities for our customers, further strengthening the comprehensive solutions we offer.”

Johan Lindqvist, Sales Director at OilQuick, adds that the partnership is a great opportunity to bring the company’s attachment coupling technology to the mining segment.
