Elite Attachments is able to provide certificates of compliance on request to certify that the operation of the Elite TwinLOCK, DualLOCK and RotaLOCK quick hitches has been assessed in relation to Australian Standard AS4772-2008, the NSW WorkCover Position Paper WC01783 (entitled “Supplying, installing and using quick hitches on excavators or backhoes”) issued January 2014 and revised June 2015 and the International Standard ISO13031:2016.
The certificate will advise that the design and operation of the Elite TwinLOCK, DualLOCK and RotaLOCK quick hitches satisfies the requirements for Automatic – Detach and Swing type hitches defined in Table 1 in the NSW WorkCover Position Paper WC01783. In the event of a failure in the primary retention system (i.e. the hydraulic cylinder), the attachment will be held in position by both the front and rear attachment pins.
This establishes that the Elite TwinLOCK, DualLOCK and RotaLOCK quick hitches are compliant with AS4772-2008, ISO13031:2012 and the NSW WorkCover Position Paper WC01783. As such the quick hitch is compliant for use in all states in Australia and New Zealand.
A generic compliance certificate is available on page 12 (Elite TwinLOCK) or page 14 (Elite RotaLOCK) of the operator’s manual, however sometimes site safety supervisors or certain worksites require a machine-specific certificate. If this is required please fill out the form below and we will provide one to you.
