Abstract (en)
The disclosure relates to a coupler for coupling a worktool to a work machine. The work machine may for example be wheeled loader that has to be coupled to some kind of worktool. Coupling standards have not been harmonised in the industry hence there are a variety of couplers in use. The couple of this disclosure is configured such that it can be used in two different coupling systems where a machine would connect with the coupler from one end or another end depending on the system required at that time. The hydraulic connections are configured such that whatever the coupling system used, the behaviour of the operator controls remain the same.
