The initiative to create an open industry standard for automatic couplers for excavators, headed by the independent organization Open-S Alliance, is strengthened as TILTPRO Corp. becomes a member. TILTPRO Corp. is a Korean manufacturer of rotating couplers, tilt couplers and tiltrotators for excavators. More and more manufacturers and companies are seeing the value of offering the customers products with a standardized interface, the benefits and flexibility that it brings to the customers. With the addition of TILTPRO Corp. to the list of members the Open-S standard continues its international growth.
Founded in 2021, TILTPRO Corp. is a Korean manufacturer of rotating couplers, tilt couplers, and tiltrotators. Known for its innovation, the company enhances performance, durability, and efficiency in excavator attachments. With a dedicated R&D center, TILTPRO focuses on developing reliable solutions and improving job-site productivity. TILTPRO joins the Open-S Alliance as an Associate member.
“Joining Open-S is in line with our policy of putting customer value first. For the benefit of our customers, we will commit to a unified open interface from Open-S and provide customers with standardized and highly functional quick couplers to enable the use of different attachments. By applying Open-S technology to our rotating couplers, tilt couplers and tiltrotators, we will be able to further innovate our customers’ working environment”, says Mr. Min, CEO at TILTPRO Corp.
The Open-S Alliance strives to give machine owners and contractors the freedom to combine couplers, tiltrotators and work tools for excavators from different manufacturers following the Open-S standard. The open interface defines hydraulic couplers and ensures that a combination of products from different manufacturers will not interfere with or alter the safety solution of each individual product. A standard helps to simplify work at the construction site, making it possible for contractors to have the most flexible use of their machines.
“Companies join the Open-S Alliance because they are convinced about the benefits for the customers with an interface standard that makes the handling of attachments easier. It means that they will be able to meet customer needs even more effectively in the future. We welcome TILTPRO as a member, and look forward to continue promoting an open standard within our industry together”, says Anders Jonsson, Chairman of the Board of Open-S Alliance.
