TILT ROTATORS The need
“ I was looking for a piece of equipment that could maneuver like a human could, without the cost and liability of workers”
“I wanted to be able to dig around pipes from any direction and work my way out with a clean site. I started looked at tilting buckets, but I wanted something more,”
TILT ROTATORS What is it about?
"compared to a wrist that allows the operator to tilt and rotate the bucket...."
- A tilt rotator is connected between the excavator's arm and the bucket and can be compared to a wrist that allows the operator to tilt (average up to 55 degrees) and rotate the bucket or other tool infinitely in both directions at the same time.
- These two functions provide three-dimensional positioning easily and accurately, increasing your efficiency and productivity.
- The tilt rotator is connected directly to the excavator's arm or beneath the excavator's quick hitch.
- The tilt rotator is then connected to the excavator's hydraulics and electrical system.
- Signals from the joystick and the control unit are received by solenoid valves on the tilt rotator thus controlling the function selected.
TILT ROTATORS What kind of work?
- Forklift frames for unloading goods from trucks or other vehicles
- Pipe-laying grapples
- Cable bucket for narrow-gauge ditching
- Grading bucket for surface levelling
- Digging bucket
- Ripper
- Sweeper
- Asphalt cutter
- …
TILT ROTATORS R.O.I example
ROI From Day 1
When it comes to estimating projects, keeping track of the numbers is Lara's top priority. He has always measured and documented every element of the job but when he pulled into the first project with a tilt rotator, those calculations went out the window.
Since the tilt rotator can tilt and turn, Lara doesn't have to reposition himself as often. This means less remediation and clean up of where he tracked, which Lara estimates saves him 70 percent of restoration time.
“In 30 days, I can't see anyone not being able to pay off a tilt rotator by just using it.”
TILT ROTATORS ROI evidence
- The attachment can accomplish a lot with minimal excavator movement, the Tilt rotator significantly reduces turf damage, making it an ideal solution for landscaping applications
- Because the attachments both rotate and tilt, excavators don’t need to move much to access key areas, which saves significant time. Less repositioning improves operator productivity
- Fewer machine movements increases the fuel economy.
- Fewer machine movements also lessens the risk of injury
- When paired with a narrow bucket, the attachment can access small, deep canals and even under and between existing tubes
- The attachment is also ideal for slopes as its ability to grade at an angle improves productivity compared with top- to-bottom grading, which requires moving machinery.
- This combined with the quick-change system and multiple attachment options, leads to high efficiency on a variety of jobsites
- Increased versatility and time savings can quickly pay for the initial investment in tilt and rotating couplers, can be equipped with an integrated grapple module, enabling the possibility to pick and place materials (e.g., pipes) without changing the attachment
TILT ROTATORS Completing 3D system
- Tilt- Rotators offer productivity advantages compared to standard couplers when used in grading, leveling and finishing applications, especially when creating multi-angle slopes and when used in combination with GPS.
- Fast and accurate work on site
- Easy to learn & use
- 3D-MC software suports these attachments in individual machine set up configuration screens
