What Oilquick Deutschland Kg does

OilQuick Deutschland KG is a German limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) headquartered in Steindorf, Bavaria, that develops, manufactures, and distributes automatic quick coupler systems and tiltrotators for construction and material handling machinery. The company operates as the German subsidiary of Swedish parent OilQuick AB and serves construction contractors, demolition specialists, landscaping companies, material handlers, rail operators, and forklift operators across the DACH region and Poland. Its core product portfolio spans five mechanical quick coupler lines — OQ (excavators), OQC (handling machines), OQL (wheel loaders), OQT (forklifts), and OQTR (tiltrotators) — complemented by EGLIMAG hydraulic magnets and the recently launched OQ Anhänger trailer line for excavators.

The company's technology positioning centers on proprietary safety and performance features: Zero-Degree-Technology for wobble-free rotation of tiltrotator attachments, a mechanical Fall Guard (Fallsicherung) that supplements optical locking control, a visual MRL locking indicator available in mechanical and electronic versions, and the OilQuick App for tiltrotator control. The Clean System initiative, launched in 2019, binds a community of approximately 200 dealers into a homogeneous system landscape intended to prevent mixed operation of incompatible coupler systems. OilQuick holds multiple industry awards including EuroTest-Preis and double recognition from BG Bau for workplace safety, plus a Demolition Award.

OilQuick generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of coupler systems, tiltrotators, and complementary products, distributed through a network of approximately 200 authorized dealers with direct sales capability for key accounts and an online spare parts shop. Pricing is quote-based and configuration-dependent, with multi-year contracts reported for some installations. The company is privately owned by the Schauer family — Franz Josef Schauer, Brigitte Schauer, and Stefan Schauer serve as Managing Directors — with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investor ownership.
