Engcon debuts updated EC204 tiltrotator for mini excavators
Engcon has launched a new and improved tiltrotator for 2- to 4-metric-tonne excavators, the EC204. The tiltrotator touts the same functions and features as Engcon’s larger models, including a 45-degree tilt angle, infinite rotation and the EC-Oil quick coupler system both above and below the unit. Engcon’s EC-Oil system enables operators to change attachments or disconnect the tiltrotator, including hydraulic hoses, without leaving the cab. The model comes factory-ready for EPS, Engcon's positioning system.

Engcon says the main advantages of the EC204 are increased digging efficiency and an additional range of applications, reducing the need for other machines and labor around the excavator.

The EC204 can be equipped with a detachable grapple, sweeper or other work tools. It is compatible with Engcon’s DC2, SS9 and SS0 control systems. DC3 compatibility will be available soon. Tilt and angle rotation sensors allow for precise movements. A centralised lubrication system reduces maintenance.
