Engcon offers a smart tiltrotator package

Engcon is widening its range of tiltrotators with a new generation unit featuring improved hydraulics. The self-sensing hydraulic system can determine the volume and flow rates needed to operate a particular attachment and set the levels accordingly, increasing efficiency and productivity, while also reducing fuel consumption for the carrier machine.

The controls can be linked to a smartphone with a user ID, which allows an operator to personalise the system and save settings. The data is stored in the cloud and there is no need to connect a laptop or tablet as the settings can be changed remotely through the Internet.

Further benefits can be gained by linking the unit to machine control systems. Engcon says that the tiltrotator can be equipped with sensors so that it can be operated with 2D and 3D technology from Leica Geosystems.

In addition, Engcon says that it also now offers new tiltrotator systems for compact machines in the 2-4tonne, 4-6tonne and 6-9tonne weight ranges. This broadens the availability of tilrotators for use with compact equipment, increasing their versatility.
