“Kinshofer is pleased to join this alliance,” said group CEO Thomas Friedrich.

“Opening up our product offering to the Open-S standard will be welcomed by our customers as it removes boundaries and limitations of using a wide variety of tools from various manufacturers on one and the same carrier.

“We will play an active role to support Open-S Alliance efforts to expand the range of hydraulic couplers globally.”

Open-S Alliance chair Anders Jonsson added: “All members of Open-S share a belief that machine owners and contractors should have the freedom to choose what solution to buy.”

The Open-S Alliance was founded in 2020 by Swedish manufacturers Steelwrist and Rototilt, and has since signed up members including Volvo Construction Equipment and Rotar International.
