What happens here

An excavator fitted with a Steelwrist tiltrotator is shown in action, digging and manipulating objects. The presenter explains that the tiltrotator allows the attached tool (bucket, hammer, or grab) to rotate 360 degrees continuously and tilt up to 45 degrees in two directions, greatly enhancing the excavator's versatility and precision. A key advantage emphasized is the ability to change attachments (like a bucket to a hammer to a grab, and even pick up a pipe) directly from the operator's seat, eliminating the need for manual intervention and saving time. The presenter also highlights the Steelwrist's worm gear drive (oil bath system) for durability and maintenance, as well as the 1-year warranty upon registration. The growing popularity of tiltrotators, especially in Europe (where over 90% of machines are equipped with them), and their increasing adoption in North America is also discussed.

Goal: An excavator equipped with a Steelwrist tiltrotator attachment is demonstrated, showcasing its 360-degree rotation, 45-degree tilt, and rapid attachment changing capabilities from the cab.

you thanks George appreciate it all right guys while we watch this demonstration I'm just going to walk you through some of the the very basic functions this brand is made by Steel wrist this is called the generic term for what you seeing this tool is it's a tilt rotate other names that it goes by is a rotor tilt or a roto tilt they all basically mean the same thing what it does is this is will rotate 360° and then it has two cylinders on the side which allow it to angle up to 45° now what steel rist did is they've used a worm gear drive inside of this product it's basically the heart of this product and it allows the bucket and any tools and attachments that it connects to to rotate endlessly and then what they did is they combined this with tilt cylinders and that's how they achieve the 45° tilt on either side now one of the important things to consider with something like this because this is not a cheap attachment is the warranty with with steel wrist these guys give you a one-year warranty from the time that you register it when you put it into service it's also an attachment carrier so what that means is this machine can quickly and easily move from one attachment to another attachment and in fact steel wrist itself has a number of dedicated attachments as well as universal attachments that it can connect directly up to which means that the operator never needs to leave the cab of the machine so when you see it connecting in right here everything is done via the seat the operator is not only controlling the connection but also all of the hydraulic hookups at the same time steel wrist itself is a Swedish company they're actually located in Rosenberg which is north of Stockholm and steel wrist Prides itself on Three core values responsiveness Simplicity and speed now there are a lot of other companies out there that sell tilt rotators and in fact the whole concept of tilt rotators is increasing in popularity over 90% of the machines in the European market are outfitted right out of the gate with a tilt Rotator of some kind whether it's a steel risk or another brand out there and in North America the the Tilt Rotator Market is growing leaps and [Applause] [Music] bound not all tilt rotators are created equally so before you buy any brand whether it's a steel wrist or something else out there do your home work some of the Tilt rotators that you find will either have an oil bath meaning that all of the internal gearing is actually sealed inside of a bath…
