Versatile new tiltrotators from Caterpillar deliver fully integrated solutions to increase machine utilisation and help lower costs.
Delivering all-round performance, the new Cat® tiltrotator line helps to deliver significant cost savings by reducing the number of machines and ground staff at a site.
The tilt rotate system allows the attachment to simultaneously rotate 360 degrees and tilt up to 40 degrees, allowing tracked excavators to perform a range of tasks – digging, grading and compacting – with more precise movements without repositioning the machine. Less machine repositioning helps to reduce undercarriage wear and lower costs.
Highlights include:
• Simultaneous 360 degrees rotation and up to 40 degrees left and right tilt
• High-flow hydraulic performance up to 200l/min (52gpm)
• One grease-point connection with the machine’s auto-grease system.
Time saver
Caterpillar’s new, fully integrated TRS12, TRS17, and TRS20 models reduce installation time and show up automatically on the machine’s monitor, allowing it to be easily controlled by the joystick.
The tiltrotators can be used with a wide range of attachments like buckets, grapples, compactors and more, allowing for higher machine utilisation and improved productivity. Plus, the new standard tilt sensor delivers precise tilt and rotation angles to the grading system.
High-flow system
The new models feature a standard high-flow swivel, providing up to 200l/min flow at 250 bar (52gpm at 3626psi) for use with high-flow work tools. Pairing the tiltrotator with a next-generation Cat excavator that has a second hydraulic line boosts hydraulic flow and pressure to 250l/min at 350 bar (66gpm at 5076psi).
New pressure-compensated hydraulic valves manufactured with spools provide even better control of the hydraulic flow than previous designs, allowing the tiltrotator to maintain stable rotation speed regardless of tilt speed. A quick-connect interface provides fast hydraulic attachment changes, and SecureLock™ uses sensor technology inside the locking cylinder to verify the tool is correctly connected and securely locked to reduce the risk of swinging or dropping tools.
High efficiency
Cat TRS models feature a single grease-point connection with the excavator’s auto-grease system, and the simpleto- use innovative lubrication system is developed to quickly distribute the right amount of grease to the appropriate points. Double-acting tilt cylinders fitted with a load-holding valve ensure the load is securely in position, even in the event of the hydraulic system losing pressure. Providing maximum heat distribution, the worm gearbox is filled with oil for optimum lubrication.
With the new tiltrotator models, operators can change tools without leaving the cab when equipped with the full hydraulic coupler, enhancing safety, productivity, performance, and efficiency.
A plastic cover with built-in electrical harness provides easy connection to the hydraulic valves and simplifies servicing. Frame modification on the new series reduces dirt exposure for the grading sensor, which is further protected by a metal cover.
