I’ve lost the connector on one side of my truck and struggling to find the right type online. It’s the removable bit on the end which the hose attaches to. Anybody able to advise?
It’s a cement/mortar wagon.

Claw coupling
Is it not just an ordinary quick release claw coupling like you get on airlines for jackhammers etc. ?
Or maybe I am not seeing the picture properly

Ah, Dan, you are a faster typer than me !
Thanks all, just found the same through googling it. I’m wondering if there is a standard size as all our yard hoses and wagons seem compatible.
I would rather just buy a new one for my wagon than fess up as I’ve been a bit of a muppet this past week. Lost the nozzle for main yard hose on friday by putting it on side of truck while filling up the water tank, and then driving off forgetting it was on there. Much grumbling from the yard supervisor. Now I’ve done the same with the pipe connector two days later!
It doesn’t have the round screw type thread of the one in that link. You sort of align the tabs and then screw it tight. Obv must have some manner of thread though.
It doesn’t turn very far. Fully locked in less than a half turn I’d say.
The top picture is a claw type fitting as dan and manski say, the second picture looks like a storz fire hydrant fitting.

The second picture is just the first with the end cap off. It screws off but has fallen off on the road.
The claw grip is mounted on circular disc. In.first pic you can see them clamped together. Will take another pic at work.

I agree. First one commonly known as a crow’s foot, second one a storz fitting.

1Ok, here’s some better pics. I’m guessing it must’ve actually come off on the road as I don’t remove the cap to attach hose, just the hose nozzle. One side is really hard to get off though and takes a good bit of wiggling so I must’ve loosened it while trying to decouple.
So you need both? A storz fitting to go on the mixer and a claw fitting and maybe an adapter to go on the storz fitting.
Managed to order one from Schwing Stetter.
It was just the cap I’m holding in my hand that I needed.
The claw type is known as a GK Coupler, generally used for water and made from brass alloy
The other end is a Storz coupling used for higher pressures, fire hoses, powders, liquids etc.
Both types are called Symmetrical couplings as both ends are the same.
