S45 Quick Hitch: Compact Excavator Standard
S45 is the compact-excavator hitch standard, fitted to machines in the 6 to 12 tonne class, the bridge between mini-ex and midi-ex. Common S45 carriers include the Volvo ECR88, CAT 308, JCB 86C, Komatsu PC88, Kubota KX080, Hitachi ZX85, Liebherr A 910, and Doosan DX85. S45 uses a 45 mm pin with bracket centres sized for the slightly heavier compact class.

Attachments pinned to S45 are mid-weight, matched to the 6 to 12 tonne compact class. The compact class is the workhorse for landscaping, drainage, fence and signage work, small site preparation, and Nordic forestry support roles. We stock a deep S45 range (buckets, breakers, grapples, forks, augers, mixers, and forestry tooling) across both GORE and AWA brands.
S45 common questions
Which excavators use S45?
S45 is standard for most 6 to 12 tonne compact European excavators including the Volvo ECR88, CAT 308, JCB 86C-2, Komatsu PC88MR, Kubota KX080-4, Hitachi ZX85USB, Liebherr A 910, and Doosan DX85R-7. Confirm by checking your machine’s manual or using our Quick Hitch Finder.
Can I move S60 attachments to my S45 machine?
Not without re-pinning. S60 pins are 60 mm, too large for an S45 bracket. Our Saltsjö-Boo workshop can re-pin the bracket to S45 (typical turnaround 2 to 3 days, allow longer for heavy attachments). Contact us before moving attachments between machines.
What’s the smallest breaker that suits an S45 carrier?
For 6 to 12 tonne machines the S45-size hydraulic breaker is the recommended fit, sized for everyday demolition rather than continuous quarry work. As a rule of thumb a breaker should weigh roughly 7 to 14% of the carrier; ask our team to match a specific size to your machine’s hammer circuit.
