Tiltrotator at work -benefits & drawbacks
What happens here
An expert from Volvo Construction Equipment, Matt, explains the capabilities of a tiltrotator. It allows the excavator bucket to spin 360 degrees and tilt 45 degrees in either direction. Additionally, many tiltrotators can be outfitted with a claw or grapple on the back, enabling the excavator to pick up objects like logs. The video then shows the tiltrotator in action, demonstrating its digging and material handling capabilities by trenching and moving a large log.
Goal: Learn the specific movement and gripping capabilities of the tiltrotator.
