The Amulet XBoom Coupler® is a revolutionary type of excavator coupler system, comprised of three interacting components that quickly convert a mini excavator from its typical “excavator function” into a completely new rigid boom tool carrier, and back again. The XBoom system utilizes a Universal Skid Steer Adapter attached to the boom-end of the host machine. With this new rigid boom machine set-up, the excavator effectively utilizes virtually any universal skid steer attachment i.e. pallet forks, auger, hammer, dirt bucket, etc., in a full revolving configuration that shrinks the machine’s overall footprint, provides a rigid frontal force structure while utilizing the full range of motion of the host machine’s boom. Doing so keeps work tools as close to the machines’ center of gravity as possible for effective lifting and carrying.
