S70 Quick Hitch — Mid-Size Excavator Standard
S70 is the standard fitted to mid-size excavators in the 16–25 tonne class — the next step up from the universal S60. Common S70 carriers include the Volvo EC220, CAT 320 (some variants) and 322, JCB 220X, Komatsu PC210LC, Hitachi ZX225, Liebherr R 920, and Doosan DX225. Pin diameter is 70 mm with bracket geometry sized for the heavier hydraulics and longer reach of mid-size machines.
Attachments pinned to S70 are heavier — 400–600 kg buckets, 580 kg breakers (GORE V6), 620 kg grapples — and they’re built to handle the higher hydraulic flows (90–140 L/min) that S70 carriers provide. Typical applications: heavy site prep, demolition, road construction, larger forestry operations, and aggregate handling. We stock a focused S70 range — every category has at least one S70 option, weighted toward GORE premium given the duty cycle of these machines.
