High flow hydraulic quick couplers are engineered to reduce pressure drop across the hydraulic connection. To meet this requirement, most quick couplings designed for high flow do not contain an internal valve which can restrict flow. System pressure must be relieved prior to quick disconnect with non-valve hydraulic quick couplers.
Skid steer loaders with high flow hydraulic systems require high flow quick couplings to meet fluid control requirements. Many typical skid steer machines operate with standard hydraulic flow which varies from 8 to 23 gallons per minute to power most skid steer attachments. Flat face hydraulic couplers are most commonly used on skid steer loaders.
High flow hydraulic systems are utilized on some skid steer utility machines and tractors with hydraulic flow ranging from 20 to 45 gallons per minute. These high flow hydraulic systems are designed with either single or dual stage and require specific high flow hydraulic quick couplings. Skid steer machines with single stage, high flow hydraulic systems can typically utilize flat face couplers similar to standard flow machines. Dual stage high flow hydraulic systems, however, require a separate set of quick couplers on the outside of the machine as they are designed with separate hydraulic lines.
Consulting with a hydraulic quick coupler expert will determine the right type of quick couplers required for your equipment and application. Stucchi offers skilled engineers with experience in process analysis to assist in selecting the right hydraulic quick couplers for maximum fluid control and leak free performance.

Flat Face Quick Couplers for Skid Steer Loaders
Stucchi’s a vast product line includes several hydraulic quick couplers which are ideal in high flow skid steer hydraulic systems. Our skid steer hydraulic quick couplers are designed to keep your equipment operational and on the road, delivering leak-free performance for improved operations, safety and environmental protection. Skid steer machines are exposed to demanding conditions such as extreme temperatures, humidity, dirt, debris, ice and snow.
Maintaining optimum hydraulic fluid control during these conditions requires durable hydraulic quick couplers designed to withstand premature brinelling, wear and tear. Stucchi offers several hydraulic quick couplings and high flow hydraulic quick couplers compatible with brand-name equipment such as Bobcat, Caterpillar, Kubota and more. Hydraulic quick couplings which meet the rugged demands of skid steer equipment include:
- A Premier Series – flat face, ISO 16028 interchangeability with international versions available. The A Premier series provides superior flow characteristics, higher pressure ratings and lower pressure drop over the FIRG series and comparable products.
- A-HD – flat face quick coupler with easy quick connect by hand in applications where residual pressure develops from thermal expansion of trapped fluid.
- Saturn Block –a direct field replacement for many pressurized quick connect systems featuring a relief system to drain residual pressure prior to quick connect and quick disconnect.
- APM Series – designed to release pressure within itself with ISO interchangeability.
- VEP – The VEP is a popular threaded flat face coupling series with heavy duty and locking versions available.
- VEPHD – the VEP threaded coupler with a higher grade of steel, heavy-duty material and QPQ plating.
- VEPHDL – the heavy duty, locking version of the VEP threaded flat face coupling
