Component Specifications

Definition
The Attachment Interface Plate is a precision-engineered structural component designed to serve as the primary mounting interface between loader arms and various attachments in material handling systems. It features standardized bolt patterns, alignment features, and load-bearing surfaces that enable quick and secure connection of buckets, forks, grapples, and other specialized tools to loader equipment. This component ensures proper load transfer, maintains attachment alignment, and provides the structural integrity required for heavy-duty material handling operations.
Working Principle
The Attachment Interface Plate operates on the principle of standardized mechanical interfacing, providing a rigid connection point that transfers operational forces (compression, tension, shear, and torsion) from attachments to the loader arm structure. It utilizes precisely positioned mounting holes, alignment pins, and load-bearing surfaces to ensure proper attachment orientation and secure fastening. The plate distributes operational loads evenly across the loader arm's structural members while maintaining the geometric relationship between the attachment and the machine's hydraulic and control systems.
Materials
High-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) ASTM A572 Grade 50 or equivalent, with yield strength ≥ 345 MPa and tensile strength ≥ 450 MPa. Surface treatment: Hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance. Hardness: 200-250 HB.
Technical Parameters
  • Bolt Size M20-M30
