LYNX Series Bottom Loading Coupler

 

Not Just Better In Every Way. The Best In Every Way.

The LYNX series brings together the best features of all API couplers to provide a superior and effortless bottom loading experience.

The LYNX is optimised to bring your liquid terminals and tank trucks the very best in dry-break API technology. From its ultra-durable stainless-steel collar to its ability to protect your loading-arm connection even when facing surge pressures up to 3,400 kPa, you can count on LYNX for years of service and to help minimize fluid loss.

Fast Disassembly, Less Downtime
If you have 30 seconds and a screwdriver, you can disassemble LYNX. Thanks to a U-pin design, loading-arm operators can perform coupler maintenance without special tools and do it quickly. 

Note: 5 year extended warranty is applicable to North America only.
