Engcon adds to Tiltorotator line

Sweden-based construction equipment maker Engcon AB has launched an upgraded version of its Tiltrotator model EC204 for excavators in the 2-4 tons weight class with the same functions and features as Engcon's larger models.

Users of Tiltorotators are finding they make digging "more efficient and broaden the excavator's range of applications." A Tiltrotator can convert an excavator into a “flexible tool carrier, reducing both the need for other machines and labor around the excavator,” the firm says.

The updated model of the EC204 features Engcon's EC-Oil quick coupler system both above and below the Tiltrotator. The modification makes it easier to change attachments or to disconnect the Tiltrotator when necessary.

The EC204 offers a 45-degree tilt angle, infinite rotation, Engcon’s customized positioning system and the ability to easily mount different attachments, contributing to versatility and flexibility in excavation work.

“Our customers can rely on Engcon to always deliver state-of-the-art technology that improves their profitability,” says Martin Engström, a product manager with the firm.

Engcon's EC-Oil attachment consists of hydraulic blocks with hydraulic, electrical and central lubrication connections.

When EC-Oil is mounted on the Q-Safe quick coupler, the combination provides fully automatic connection of hydraulic attachments such as Tiltrotators, grapples, sweepers and ground vibrators, according to the firm. During the process, the operator does not have to leave the driver’s seat to connect the attachments.
