Rototilt - Why do you need a tiltrotator ?

[@ProjecTranceDJ]

I am a professional operator for my living. I have been working for a small specialized firm for nearly 3 months now after 17 years of wasting my life at big hire firms for peanut cards in money. I have been given my own machine off the owner which is a Hitachi ZX145W with a 3 piece boom, dozer blade and outriggers on the chassis and a Rototilt R4 with grab. These things have opened up a whole new set of capabilities within the project i am working on. The controls are way more advanced than the usual setup and so smooth too. My gripe though is detaching the R4 from the Rototilt QH. It runs off the hammer lines on the dipper but with double male to female couplings, there is an electrical connection too. There is always pressure issues with the return pipe to re-connect and a seal with the valve block or the couplings causing leakage (brand new couplings was installed, the old was only 2 weeks old and the same problem happened) So we swapped back to the original 2 week old ones and after a messy change it is no longer leaking. But likely will when i take the R4 off again. I have to take it off for heavy lifting operations as my Prolec tells me when its on there is nearly half a tonne of weight before i even lift anything. So it's brilliant when on, but a pain in the ass when re-connecting after disconnecting.

I use one of these every day. I find another use for it every day. Has pretty much made a laborer obsolete.

[@ProjecTranceDJ]

What is a labourer nowadays. They are mostly wanting us drivers to do everything anyway, and get arsey when you ask them to help you with the last crumbs. 😂

[@gagecrozier7672]

Is that why it take two years to fix a small bridge?

[@notectrl]

there is a myth going among machine operators, according to which a real driver can do without this thing, however you put it there certainly are specific situations in which it's either this or forget it, and it does make many things easier. i have just started getting the hang of it but i have workerd a lot together with very experienced people

Thees are so nice yo work with, we just got a Cat 308E2 CR with rotator tilt on it, with claw and everything, it helps alot in many sitautions :)

Really impressive tech

Euler must be proud.

[@roksanachlebio1326]

Nice work

[@w.eplant3093]

we are so behind in the uk. i so desperately want one!!!

[@jakesemtex]

+woosh teck Don't speak too soon Woosh, I was brought up in the UK and tiltrotors are getting common there now. I'm in Western Canada now and they haven't even heard of them here, they're not even sure what a JCB is!!!

[@w.eplant3093]

they are cottoning on pretty quick now see a few about these days

[@dannyboy1868]

Haha so true I can’t see keltbray getting me this kit, cheap fucks

[@3cx000]

they are expensive!

[@RototiltGroup]

The ROI is quite reasonable :)

[@2handsomeforlaw]

I wish I had one, I would be much more able, effective, and could offer a lot of services I now can not.

[@roksanachlebio1326]

The best

De kantstenar som ni pallade med gripen lyfte jag för hand på min arbetsplats för att palla 5 våningar :P de gör jag gärna inte om, dom väger mer än jag själv gör. haha

[@chezzylee]

Quick hitch is gonna weigh loads more with that on, so therefore your bucket will handle loads less at full boom, looks good for intricate work but not bulk excavation.. expensive to fix too no doubt

[@RototiltGroup]

Sorry for the late reply! but thats why customers use our quick couplers, allowing you to take it off when moving large amounts of material :)

[@MrWhiseguyy]

Toppen!

[@roksanachlebio1326]

Najlepsze

Just another copyright of the Steelwrist Tiltrotator !!

[@swestalker]

+RIDE WITH ZAK are you for real? sweden made indexator and engcon for 20 years..steelwrist did copy them thought...

[@evanziemer1967]

@J Magnusson what an interesting reply! These tiltrorators are fascinating. I'm hoping to buy one next year. Where did you gain your knowledge of these things?
