TILTROTATOR GIVES A NEW TWIST TO SEMCO DISTRIBUTION

Imagine how long it would take to do anything if you couldn’t move your wrists properly.

The same principle applies to manipulating an excavator bucket or attachment. If movement is restricted, naturally it’s going to take longer to get the work done. Engcon of Sweden addressed this issue back in the 1990s with their development of a range of systems that provide 360° movement for excavator buckets and attachments.

Beefing up its Australian presence, Engcon has appointed Semco Equipment Sales as a distributor to sell, service and support its range in the region.
Graham Murphy of Semco said “We are very pleased with the appointment which will enable us to add significant value to equipment owned by our excavator customers as well as owners of other excavation equipment who wish to enhance their productivity.

“The pressure is on contractors to perform work more quickly and with great accuracy as Australia’s cities and worksites become increasingly constricted. Tiltrotators have some way to go before they are widely used in our market.

“Tiltrotators are perfect for many tasks as proven in Scandinavia where 90 percent of excavator sales include these. Tiltrotators enable a larger machine to be deployed to dig at any angle required, without having to continuously reposition the machine. Being able to use a larger machine also gets the job done faster. Additional savings may also be possible through a reduced need for traffic control and delays caused by tight access on jobs”, he said.

A tiltrotator acts as an excavator’s wrist. It allows the bucket to tilt and rotate, which creates limitless abilities. The Engcon system includes unique safety features and is suitable for all excavators in the 1.5 to 32 tonne range. They may be supplied as part of a new machine configuration or by retrofit.
