Boosting the efficiency of tiltrotator use with Trimble

The Trimble Earthworks system now allows excavator operators using tiltrotators to use automatic machine control, which can help to boost productivity. When tiltrotators are used with Trimble Earthworks for Excavators, the bucket position and orientation are visible regardless of bucket rotation. The operator can see the height and the rotation relative to the design, so the attachment can be more efficient. With this latest development, Trimble Earthworks can automate the tilt functions of a tiltrotator.

Using a tiltrotator attachment can now be more accurate using the latest technology from Trimble
The 2122 Trimble Earthworks system now allows excavator operators using tiltrotators to use automatic machine control, which can help to boost productivity.


When tiltrotators are used with Trimble Earthworks for Excavators, the bucket position and orientation are visible regardless of bucket rotation. The operator can see the height and the rotation relative to the design, so the attachment can be more efficient. With this latest development, Trimble Earthworks can automate the tilt functions of a tiltrotator. This allows operators of all skill levels to be more productive when using these attachments.
