STEELWRIST is showcasing its new X02 tiltrotator – designed for excavators below 2.5 tonnes – at bauma 2022.
The manufacturer said the installation ratio for tiltrotators on the smallest excavators is starting to grow globally. The X02 is the firm’s response to this, with the model accompanied by a range of work tools said to result in ‘increased efficiency and versatility’ which convert the smallest excavators into ‘true tool carriers’.
The X02 comes with either a direct fit or S30 top for the connection to the excavator. The coupler side is available in a hydraulic locking for S30. Steelwrist added that the hydraulic lock version with the integrated front pin hook is ‘probably the only tiltrotator in this class that has work tool safety to support CE requirements’.
The X02 is positioned between the smallest TCX tilt coupler for machines below two tonnes and the X04 tiltrotator for excavators from 2.5 to 4 tonnes.
Features include a new gearbox design, lubrication-free bearings, valves and control module placing to protect from outer damage, and a bolt-on lifting eye or lifting hook as an option on direct fitted tiltrotators.
The X02 is accompanied by a complete set of Steelwrist S30 work tools, such as grading, digging, cable/trenching, and v-ditch bucket, asphalt cutter and ripper. A multi grapple has been added to the work tool offering.
“With the launch of the X02 we finally complete the tiltrotator range for excavators below 2.5 tonnes. The X02 is a fantastic combination of innovation and robustness which customers have been waiting for,” said Stefan Stockhaus, CEO of Steelwrist AB.
