CATSU T06

Tiltrotator  4-6 Tons

CATSU T06 is developed with a focus on agility, building height and weight that is so important for compact excavators. The T06 is optimized for machines from 4-6 tons where are used. The T06 is often chosen with a direct mounted top.

Tiltrotators are one of the most advanced and complex attachments in the world for excavators. They allow for endless 360 degree rotation of the attachment as well as up to 50 degrees of tilting angle each side. Tiltrotators are a lot more advanced than most attachments on the market and therefore have many different setup configurations, like mounting options, control systems, quick coupler options & more!

CATSU specialises in the supply of excavator parts: Tiltrotator, Digging Bucket, Grading Bucket, Peel Grapple , Rotating Grapple, Rake, Proportional System, Joystick and others.

Tiltrotator options:

There are two common ways of mounting a tiltrotator to an excavator. You can directly mount the unit through the machine dipper/stick, which we refer to as a “direct mount” setup. See pictured below: 

A direct mount setup reduces the overall loss of breakout force, as it keeps the added height to a minimum. Breakout force is the amount of digging power that the machine has when curling the bucket. Any added height by an attachment on the end of the machine dipper incurs a loss of breakout force, therefore directly mounting the tiltrotator means the tiltrotator can use its maximum force. 

The second way to mount a TR is by picking it up with a quick coupler. This requires a fixed pin setup on the upper bracket of the tiltrotator that can be picked up by a hydraulic or mechanical coupler. This adds height to the overall attachment configuration but has the main advantage of being able to easily drop the tiltrotator for jobs where it is not needed. This is referred to as a “sandwich” or “top hitch” setup.
