T-Lock: CBM's hitch is even safer

It's called ‘T-Lock’ and it represents an evolution of CBM's automatic lower hitch from the Modena-based company. The new version, which is an enhancement of the previous one and is being presented specifically at Agritechnica 2023, has been developed with the goal of further elevating performance and improving operator safety during the connection and disconnection of implements.

To open the hitch, it is sufficient to lift and "turn" the opening lever anticlockwise, which, thanks to its distinctive shape – as explained in a technical note by the Emilian manufacturer – locks onto the body of the hitch and remains in the open position.

To close it, just lift the lever and turn it clockwise. Compared to the previous version, the opening of the lower hitch is much more intuitive and faster, while equipment attachment is more efficient and, therefore, safer.

The new CBM 'T-Lock' hitch has also been designed to simplify maintenance operations and make any necessary repairs easier, as the manufacturer has been able to further reduce the component's disassembly and assembly times. The range of the new "T-Lock" automatic hitches includes all seven available models in categories 1, 2S, 2, 3S, 3, 3HD, and 4.
