THE PART
The part that made every other part interchangeable.
A coupler is the handshake of a machine — it takes shock loads from every attachment fitted over its service life. The wedge faces and pin cradles carry that history as bright polished bands.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Hydraulics are drained and decommissioned, the wedge mechanism is locked in the closed position, and the open ports are fitted with turned bronze plugs. The glass sits on four points clear of the pin cradles.
We take the part from a documented source and assess its condition.
We remove grease, loose corrosion and everything that does not belong to the future object.
We reinforce the structure, smooth the contact zones and design a stable base.
We keep the authentic patina, seal the steel and fit the glass.
We number the piece and issue the certificate of transformation.

DELIVERY & INSTALLATION
Because of the mass, quotation covers dedicated transport, carry-in and — depending on the model — on-site glass installation. Cost depends on location and access conditions.
