Mini-excavator tiltrotator
but here, every centimetre of reach counts.
Synthetic image.
The same function as on a large machine.
But on a mini-excavator, what it adds at the end of the arm is taken directly off the useful reach.
Other names for this tool: compact tiltrotator, mini-excavator tiltrotator, mini-digger tilting rotator.

What it is for
Right: with the tiltrotator, the mini-excavator loses digging depth.
What sets it apart:
the same function as on a large machine, but every centimetre counts more here.
Computer-generated image.
It is on small machines that work in a confined space is most frequent:
gardens, blocks of flats' courtyards, trenches along a façade.
The tiltrotator therefore finds its natural ground there.
It is also there that its constraints weigh most heavily:
a light machine has little load chart margin, few hydraulic lines and little digging depth to sacrifice.
In these classes, the trade-off is real and it has to be set out honestly. The gain in precision is clear;
so is the loss in reach and in depth.
We prefer to say so beforehand, rather than leave the disappointment to the fitting.
On which machine?
They exist for machines from 2 to 12 t.
For example, on a 2 to 5 t mini-excavator, the weight is generally from 67 to 323 kg.
It fits between the excavator and the tool, with an interface on both sides.
On other classes, its weight: we calculate it with you for your machine.
What the tool does
It tilts the tool 55° to each side, i.e. 110° in total.
For example, on a 2 to 5 t mini-excavator: width from 330 to 416 mm, length from 490 to 620 mm.
Tilting is done by a hydraulic motor, without a ram, with a worm-drive slew ring running in grease.
A rotation sensor accurate to ± 1° is available as an option.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
It needs two hydraulic lines, controlled by joystick.
It generally needs from 28 to 45 l/min, depending on the size of the machine.
The oil passage is standard; electrical channels, five plus one, are available as an option.
The pressure, and the flow on the other classes: we calculate them with you for your machine.

Have your machine checked.
Give us the exact model of your mini-excavator, the number of hoses at the end of the dipper arm, and the digging depth you need.
- 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 share of work in a confined space If it is the majority, the trade-off soon leans one way.
-
02 — The machine's load chart margin
It is thin in a small class:
it is checked, not estimated. - 03 — The hydraulic lines Many mini-excavators do not have enough, and adding them can be costed.
- 04 — The digging depth needed What you add in height, you lose in depth.
What is checked before ordering
- The exact number of lines at the end of the dipper arm With a photograph to back it up.
- The load chart of your model With the whole fitted, arm extended.
- The digging depth your jobs call for Before, not after.
- The driver's training It counts double on a machine where the margins are thin.
