Your Problem... During a typical working day in India, attachment changeover such as changing from a rock breaker to a bucket adds up to a lot of downtime. This downtime dramatically reduces efficiency, productivity and ultimately profitability. Following on-site investigations in India, Miller found contractors were currently faced with the following problems on a regular basis. Our Solution... By installing a Miller Quick Coupler and Scoop Bucket, the increase in machine productivity means that within weeks the package has paid for itself. Thereafter you can enjoy the many additional benefits for free! Miller can help you transform the way you work on-site and have solutions to all of the problems associated with directly mounting buckets and attachment. Downtime equates to lost profit Bucket pin damage is costly Downtime solution Safety risk solution Even with two on-site helpers machine downtime is still a major problem and an unwanted additional cost. When a machine is not working it is not earning money. Downtime equates to wasted fuel During a manual changeover from rock breaker to bucket, approximately 10 litres of fuel is wasted, which equals up to Rs 400 per hour. Rigid project completion deadlines Currently downtime could be as much as a quarter of your working day making it virtually impossible to meet rigid deadlines. Moving machines costs time and money Transporting excavators to different project sites because they can only complete certain tasks is both expensive and timely. Bucket pins need to be hammered in and out constantly, which can cause damage and delay production. Safety risks are a concern There is always a danger that someone could be hurt or injured due to the present changeover method. Job satisfaction is low Directly mounting buckets and hydraulic rock breakers to an excavator is unnecessary physical and time consuming work. One machine, only one task By dedicating one machine to a specific task, the machine is underutilized and unable to fulfill its maximum potential. Labour availability Although labour is relatively inexpensive, the availability of good labour is becoming more difficult to find. Buckets and attachments can be changed in seconds and without the need for additional helpers. Production is continuous so profitability can increase considerably. Wasted fuel solution Fuel is not being wasted while the machine stands idle as it only takes seconds to change between attachments. Rigid project solution With the flick of a switch downtime can be practically eliminated and project deadlines can be achieved. Moving machines solution One excavator can be transformed into a multi-tasking machine so there is no limit to the tasks it can complete. Bucket pin damage solution Bucket pins do not need to be removed when an excavator is installed with a Miller Quick Coupler. The need to hammer bucket pins in and out is eliminated making it a much safer and more reliable changeover method. Job satisfaction solution Operators can maximise their time on-site from the comfort of their cab - work smarter, not harder in a cleaner, safer environment. One machine, only one task A quick coupler enables the machine to use many different attachments, giving it the capacity to complete a variety of tasks. Labour availability solution Less labour is required as a machine operator can change attachments in seconds without any assistance. 3 4

Don t just take our word for it......listen to what our customers say! Waste is a major cost in the construction and in India 3-5% wastage is regarded as a norm. In this era of cut throat competition, the organizations that would try to cut this waste would be the ones who would deliver value to its stakeholders. It is here that Miller Quick Couplers come in. It helps in reducing wastage of time, manpower & fuel, which has till date been the accepted norm of the industry. Miller has changed the way contractors work in the WEST and now it is changing the way contractors work in the EAST. Sunil Newatia - Suretech Infrastructure We used to waste a lot of time greasing the pins during the changeover process but this has not been the case since installing the Miller quick coupler. We have made a huge time and money saving by buying our coupler. Mr. Ravi, Panchami - Stone crushers The moment I saw the MPG in action, I was convinced that it s a very useful product for a demolition contractor and all should have it. M/s Matte Associates When using the coupler, one machine can do job of two machines, it saves so much time. M/s P.G.Thakur On the same site we use to keep 2 machines, one fitted with bucket and another with rock breaker but since we fitted the Miller coupler one site needs only one breaker. M/s Lalit Construction Every quarry owner must have Quick Coupler. M/s Shree Const. We are so very impressed with Miller Coupler that in future whenever we purchase an Excavator we will definitely purchase it with a coupler. M/s B.P.Sangle Operator and helpers strain has been noticeably reduced since using the Miller coupler. One of our machines works on the top of a hill therefore initially they had to come down the hill to a safer place before they can do the changeover between rock breaker and bucket. After buying our coupler they can do the changeover anywhere. It has saved a huge amount of time and fuel. Charlie Thomson - Thomson Granites Sri Balaji Construction Non productive time is reduced dramatically and it is a very good product for time bond project. Thakur Infraprojects 9 10
