Hitch upgrades boost efficiency
and safety
CBM has
designed an
updated
version of the 80mm Ball
Trailer Hitch coupling
system that can be used
both for a quick and safe
vertical adjustment on
a Trailer Hitch Slider
Frame and for a fixed
application.
The latest product is
composed of a 80mm ball
on a fixed plate that is
fitted to a slider unit.
When used as a slider
device this system allows
the operator to set the
desired working height
quickly and simply. Its
height positioning is
obtained by using the
ergonomic handle. To regulate the
position of the slider device in the
frame, it is sufficient to rotate the
control handle counter-clockwise to
free the blocking pins, to position the
hitch at the desired working height
and release the lever.
The control handle can be turned
with one hand only, therefore it is
possible to use the other one to
position the trailer hitch at the desired
working height acting on the lower
part always in a safe and comfortable
way. If instead it is necessary to use
the 80mm ball in a fixed position then
it is only necessary to unscrew the
80mm ball on fixed plate from the
slider unit and to fit it where needed.
This new system is homologated for
both the slider and fixed use for
tractors up to 300hp.
Innovation has always been a
winning formula for CBM and this is
offered to the OEM tractor
manufacturers and end-users through
its wide range of products. CBM’s
intention is to provide end-users with
a resistant and reliable product and
the 80mm ball quick-adjusting support
successfully achieves this.

Not a new concept, but...
The benefits of such
a design are plain to see.
Patent records from the
late 50s and early 60s show that there
have been many attempts to build and
even manufacture such machines but
none have survived in the market.
Recently a major manufacturer
registered a provisional patent of their
version of such a loader. This
illustrates that the search for a
workable design continues. A Google
search of overshot loaders offers an
insight into some of the early attempts.
Gurtech’s cam-based design uses
modern hydraulics and drivetrains in
their unambiguous provisional patent.
They have built a low-budget prototype
with the objective of proving that their
10 tonne machine can be as productive
and more cost effective in the
marketplace than a standard 15 tonne
articulated wheel loader.
Gurtech has given thought to the
anticipated questions about machine
stability and operator visibility and can
offer convincing answers to these
valid questions.
