A tiltrotator is mounted between the excavator's stick and the work tool (e.g., a bucket or grapple). It does two things at once: Rotates the work tool 360 degrees° and tilts the tool in both directions (±40°). This means you can work from different angles without moving the machine. Hydraulic cylinders control the tilt, and a hydraulic motor combined with a worm gear handles the rotation.

It depends on the model and machine size. Check with your local dealer for the exact weight.

Yes, indirectly. The fuel savings do not come from the tiltrotator itself, but from the working method. Fewer machine repositioning maneuvers, faster work and less idling mean that the machine doesn’t consume as much fuel as it would if you were working without a tiltrotator.

Yes, the tiltrotator requires a separate hydraulic system, but this depends on several factors, such as the machine, the choice of control system, and the required functions, etc.. Contact your nearest dealer to find the best solution for you.

Rototilt recommends oil with part number 5418952, available in a 5-liter (1.5 gallon) container. The first oil change should take place at 500 hours of operation. After that, change the oil every 1,000 hours.

In this video, you can see how to check the oil level and change the oil.

Yes. You can disconnect it just like any other hydraulic work tool. Rototilt offers both direct-mount tiltrotators and the fully automatic QuickChange quick-coupling system for those who change work tools frequently. Read more here.

Rototilt offers various levels of control systems designed to work with all types of excavators. We offer control systems with joysticks of our own design for maximum functionality, or control systems that can be used with the machine’s own joysticks. Read more here.

Our tiltrotators are designed and tested to perform reliably throughout the entire service life of the excavators on which they are mounted.
