Frequently asked technical questions

A tiltrotator is mounted between your machine coupler and your tool. This allows you to tilt the tool and rotate it 360° for easier access around, above and below, making possible a number of profitable new tasks. Read more here

Your machine coupler is mounted on the excavator, enabling you to switch between tools. The attachment frame is located on the top of the tiltrotator and can be connected to the machine or a machine coupler. The quick coupler is located under the tiltrotator, making it possible to use a tool that has the corresponding system.

When we launched the RT60 tiltrotator in 1997, we switched to oil-filled rotor housings. Our research director, Richard Larker, explains more:

“Oil has special properties that are particularly beneficial for tiltrotators. Cog contact in a worm gear is characterised by significant friction, which produces heat. This heat is dissipated by the oil to the entire rotor housing, which is something that does not occur with grease.”

Rototilt recommends oil with part no. 5418952, which is available in 5-litre containers. The first oil change should take place at 500 hours. After that, perform oil changes every 1,000 hours.

The oil level should be checked every 160 hours. It is checked by tilting the tiltrotator approximately 20°. The oil level should then be at the lower edge of the filler hole.

RC1 - RC9: Position the tiltrotator so that the rotor housing is levelled. Remove the level plug at the rotor side. At the correct oil level, the oil should be at the height of the filling hole.
