Wheatway Solutions have been announced as the newest member of the Open-S Alliance, and the first British manufacturer to join the organisation.
The Open-S Alliance is the independent organisation behind the common standard for hydraulic interfaces used on excavators, allowing seamless compatibility between machines and attachments, regardless of manufacturer.
The Gloucestershire-based company manufactures a range of specialist excavator and loader attachments, predominantly polyurethane star screening buckets. Their flagship brand, Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems, is the global market leader in this sector.
Wheatway Solutions will now offer a dedicated automatic quick coupler system for their attachments, providing improved compatibility, versatility and safety.
“We believe that common standards, such as Open-S, are a catalyst for innovation, driving a balance between collaboration and competition that ensures progress across the industry.
Joining Open-S strengthens our ability to provide customers with innovative solutions that promote interoperability and ensure their attachments remain flexible and future-proof in an evolving industry,” says Colin Smith, Wheatway Solutions Managing Director.
Wheatway Solutions’ membership in the Open-S Alliance underscores its ongoing mission to deliver practical, forward-thinking solutions that meet the changing needs of operators and contractors across the globe.

The Open-S Standard
Open-S is a common standard for the hydraulic interface between an excavator and attachment. It ensures seamless compatibility between the excavator and any tiltrotator or attachment that uses the common standard. This allows machine operators far more flexibility when selecting an attachment, ensuring they always have the right tool for the job.
The Open-S Alliance, who are responsible for this common standard, was formed in 2017 by Swedish tiltrotator manufacturers Steelwrist and Rototilt. Today, the organisation includes members from around the world, such as Wacker Neuson, Volvo Construction Equipment and the Kinshofer Group. Wheatway Solutions are the first British manufacturer to join their ranks.
