Quick hitches

Change tools, keep moving

Built for New Zealand and Australian conditions, Rata quick hitches make changing attachments a quick, secure lever pull, so more of your day goes into the work itself.

Built for fast, secure changeovers

One set of attachments

Fit Rata hitches to your tractor, telehandler or excavator and share the same euro-hitch attachments across machines.

Locks on, stays on

A jam-resistant spring system keeps constant closing pressure, with the locking pin in clear view.

Fewer trips to the shed

Double tool carriers and combo hitches let one setup cover two jobs, so you're changing over less often.

Buying advice

Choosing the right hitch

Decide what you need the hitch to do first, whether that's swapping loader tools, towing, or carrying two attachments at once. Then check it suits your machine and the attachments you already run. Rata hitches fit almost any brand of loader or material handler. Talk to your local dealer for their recommendation.

“I got hold of Rata when I needed a Silage Grab, Forks & Quick Hitch. From past experience I had been impressed with the durability & simplicity of the gear. The Silage Grab has performed very well & the Quick Hitch makes the job so much easier, this one is well up there! Very high rated - so I can virtually pick up any load.

They've definitely helped me out!”

Common questions

Will a Rata quick hitch fit my brand of loader?

Rata quick hitches are made to suit almost any brand of loader or material handler. They can be fitted directly to the machine, or mounted to an existing quick hitch to adapt to a different hitch.

Can I use my loader attachments on my excavator?

Yes. The Rata Excavator Quick Hitch lets your excavator pick up the same euro-hitch attachments as your tractor, so one grapple or bucket covers both machines.

What is a double tool carrier?

A Double Tool Carrier mounts two attachments at once, such as a pair of bale clamps, doubling what you move each trip during busy pit silage and hay seasons.

Can I fit a tow ball to a Rata drawbar hitch?

Yes, a tow ball is available as an option. The standard drawbar hitch has a high tensile tow hook rated to 15 tonnes, with a spring-loaded safety flap that locks the towing eye automatically.

What makes a Rata quick hitch jam resistant?

A spring system keeps constant closing pressure on the locking pins, so changing tools stays a simple lever pull. A tilt hitch is also available for extra versatility.
