Cat tiltrotators for excavators provide 360-degree rotation and 40-degree tilting action side-to-side, allowing the machine to reach more work areas from a single position. The tiltrotator enables the operator to maneuver around posts, rocks and other obstacles, as well as to more easily reach along ditch edges.
