Tilting coupler
the bolted ring that gives the tilt, and the two locks at the bottom.
Illustration based on an existing product.
It gives the tool sideways tilt, but not rotation.
It is half of a tiltrotator — and often the half that is used most.
Other names for this tool: tilt coupler, tilting quick coupler, tilt, tilting hitch.

What it is for
Grading a slope, following a bank, cleaning out a ditch along a wall:
these jobs call for tilting the tool, not for turning it.
The tilting coupler answers that need, and that need alone.
Compared with a tiltrotator, it adds less height, less weight at the end of the arm, and calls for fewer hydraulic lines.
On a machine that a tiltrotator would penalise, it is often the right compromise.
It does not turn the tool. If the real need is to present the tool at any angle without moving the tracks, it is the tiltrotator you need, and not this. Compare the two.
Right: the tiltrotator, taller and heavier, also rotates the tool.
Sideways tilt without the rotation:
the machine stays level, the tool follows the slope.

On which machine?
They exist for machines from 1,8 to 32 t.
For example, on a 10 to 20 t excavator, the weight is generally from 260 to 955 kg.
This part acts as the coupler, on the machine side as on the tool side.
The weight by excavator class: we calculate it with you for your machine.
What the tool does
This coupler is used to couple the tool to the machine and to adapt it.
For example, on a 10 to 20 t excavator: pin diameter from 50 to 90 mm.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
It needs a double-acting hydraulic line, with its control in the cab.
The flow and the pressure: we calculate them with you for your machine.

Describe the work that makes you look for this function:
a slope to grade, a ditch to clean out, working alongside a wall.
It is that which will say whether tilt is enough.
- Your machine Its make and its tonnage.
- The auxiliary circuit Its flow in l/min, its pressure in bar, single- or double-acting.
- The coupler in place Its system and its class.
- The work The use, and the material.

What determines the choice
-
01 — The real need:
tilting, or turning The question is settled on the work of an ordinary week, not on the most difficult case of the year. - 02 — The hydraulic lines available It calls for fewer than a tiltrotator, but it does call for some.
-
03 — The reach lost
It is inserted, so it moves the tool further out.
Less than a tiltrotator, but not nothing. - 04 — The useful angle The amount of tilt is not the same everywhere, and it governs what can be done.
What is checked before ordering
- The number of lines at the end of the dipper arm Counted on the machine, not on the data sheet.
- The control in the cab There has to be something to work it with.
- The weight added, against the load chart Tool full, arm extended.
-
Compatibility with your mounting plates
It is inserted:
it has an interface on the machine side and one on the tool side.
