The Gen 3 system software already contains a large selection of instantly usable attachments for supported telehandlers
As can be appreciated, globally there are many attachment manufacturers. Each of these manufacturers has available a large selection of attachment models. Each of these models will have it's own specifications and specific geometry. With respect to the EQSS Gen 3 system, these factors are what makes telehandler attachments NOT arbitrarily interchangeable.
So which attachments are instantly supported by the EQSS Gen 3 system?
That depends on the telehandler and the current EQSS database of load charts for any specific telehandler. We maintain customer accessible online spreadsheets of currently compatible attachments for various telehandler makes and models. These attachment lists will tell you which attachments have digital load chart and attachment calibrations (immediately usable) within the Gen 3 system.
The following hyperlink will take you to the appropriate (as discussed above) web pages:
Attachments . Simply select the Brand of telehandler tab and then look for your telehandler model. On the spreadsheet then look for possible attachments for your particular telehandler model.
Attachment information is represented as a name, as well as a manufacturer number. To do a cross check, you will need to look at the compliance plate on your attachment, as well as the compliance plate of your attachment carrier (if present). The EQSS Gen 3 system calculates loads by taking into account attachment combined weight as well as attachment center of gravity. If the brand and model number of the attachment is listed on the spreadsheet, and confirmed that it's calibrated, then the Gen 3 software has that attachment within it's database.
If the display currently doesn't have your attachment selectable (but the spreadsheet indicates that it is available) then you will need to enable it so that it's displayed within the display unit - using the EQSS "Gen-3 Configuration Tool". This is downloadable from the EQSS website as part of a suite of EQSS software. Click the hyperlink:
Update Existing Gen3-LMS for New Attachments to read more about loading EQSS software onto your PC and then running the 'Gen-3 Configuration Tool' to enable your attachment.
Attachment Not On The List
If your attachment is not on the list of attachments for your machine then you have an attachment that is not in the Gen 3 database and at a cost to you, can be added to the system.
To digitise a load chart we need:
1. An attachment manufacturer load chart for your particular attachment (your attachment manufacturer can supply you with this document)
2. A photo of your attachment compliance plate
3. A photo of your attachment carrier compliance plate
4. Approximately two to three weeks for EQSS engineers to complete the process
Below: Example of a printed load chart
Below: Compliance plate examples
What you will need to do then:
1. Once the load chart has been released via a software update, you will need to update your display software.
2. Complete the 'load calibration' for your new attachment.
