Quick Coupler Leakage: Causes And Prevention

Quick coupler leakage occurs when hydraulic fluid escapes from the connection point between the coupler and the hose or attachment. This can be caused by a worn or damaged O-ring, a loose or misaligned connection, or contamination in the hydraulic system. Leaking couplers can lead to reduced hydraulic pressure, impaired equipment performance, and potential safety hazards. Regular inspection, proper maintenance, and prompt repair of leaking couplers are crucial to ensure optimal hydraulic system operation.
