The Tiltrotator benefits
Major advantages with Steelwrist tiltrotators for both owners and operators
The tiltrotator is an extremely powerful tool that enhances your excavators efficiency as it allows you to excavate, tilt, and rotate the bucket, or any other accessory, in one simultaneous operation.
As the owner of an excavator the investment in a tiltrotator is about increasing your revenues, getting more sources of revenues and increasing the productivity of your excavator fleet. In brief – an improved return on your total investment!
As the driver of an excavator the investment in a tiltrotator is about being in control of the action. You will get a significantly improved precision in your daily work, more all-round work assignments and finally to be allowed to work with the right things. In brief – a more enjoyable job!
Higher productivity!
With a tiltrotator mounted on your excavator you can change the way you work and achieve a significantly higher productivity. Digging around poles, close to house foundations, close to pipes etc can be done much faster and withouth moving the excavator. The soil disturbance will be reduced wich often is greatly appreciated by your customer.
Additionally the ability to use several different attachments will allow you to undertake several types of operations from the cockpit. Switching between attachments is done from cockpit in a matter of seconds. With the integrated gripper you will easily move trees, stones, pipes and other bulky objects that would otherwise require manual invervention.
Operations that previously needed a lot of additional support can be handled by yourself. As an excavator driver you can do things faster and with greater precision than previously, which will help lowering the costs of operation.
Experienced excavator drivers estimate the productivity increase to somewhere between 10 to 25% depending on type of operation. (This is proved by the fact that during the early days of tiltrotator usage in Sweden, an excavator equipped with a tiltrotator could get an hourly rate roughly 45 SEK or 4,7 EUR higher than the same excavator without the tiltrotator.) An experienced driver will learn to use a tiltrotator on the job within a two week period.
New types of assignments!
With a tiltrotator mounted on your excavator or back-hoe loader you will be able to take new types of assignments as you increase your fleet of attachments. In Sweden and Finland where a tiltrotator is close to mandatory on all excavators the usage of excavators have been widely expanded as the excavators become more versatile and productive.
Improved capital efficiency!
Many companies still use several individual and capital intensive machines to solve the the needs that otherwise could be handeled with one excavator, a tiltrotator and a few attachments. Obviously this requires a new way of thinking and a different way of working but once implemented your return on investment will be much improved.
