Faster Unveils Hydraulic Connection Solutions
Italian fluid connection specialist Faster presented new hydraulic coupling and monitoring systems at EIMA International.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Agriculture
Faster, a global leader in fluid connection technologies based in Rivolta d'Adda, presented new hydraulic connection solutions at EIMA International. The lineup centers on a sensor-equipped coupling system designed to guide operators through correct hose connections.
Why it matters
Incorrect hose connections can cause severe mechanical damage to agricultural machinery, and conventional tractor valve setups can restrict flow and overheat oil on high-demand implements. The new systems aim to reduce these risks for farm equipment operators.
The 3CFHF and 4SRHF ½in push-pull couplers are rated to handle return flow rates of up to 250 l/min, according to manufacturer specifications. Independent verification of these ratings was not reported, and availability timing for the products was not specified.
The players
Faster
Faster is a Rivolta d'Adda-based company and global leader in fluid connection technologies, supplying couplings and hydraulic components to agricultural and industrial equipment makers.
The details
Faster's ABC system embeds RFID sensors in modular oil-collecting caps on push-pull quick couplers to identify the connected implement and guide the operator through correct connections. The company also introduced a Connection Hub built on its Multifaster block, along with Power Beyond flat-face quick couplers compliant with ISO 17567 that draw flow directly from the main pump, bypassing the tractor's auxiliary valves.
Timeline
Faster presented the solutions at EIMA International, the agricultural machinery trade show.
Market Landscape
Faster's Power Beyond line complies with the ISO 17567 flat-face quick coupler standard, placing its products within an established international interface framework for hydraulic connections. The company's pump-direct design targets implements that the tractor's standard selective control valves handle poorly.
Farm operators who use these couplers could reduce the risk of hose misconnections that damage machinery, since the ABC system guides correct connections. Implements requiring high flow can draw from the main pump via Power Beyond couplers instead of relying on the tractor's auxiliary valves.
The takeaway
Matching hydraulic connections to the correct implement reduces the risk of costly damage and overheating, so operators should verify compatibility before connecting high-demand equipment.
