As well as the E45 and E50 models, the TR05 tilt-rotator can also be used on the Bobcat E32 and E35 mini-excavators.
The TR05 comes standard with a hydraulic quick coupler and with an auxiliary circuit to operate hydraulic attachments such as grabs. Both functions of the TR05 tilt-rotator can be operated simultaneously and are fully proportional. In addition to the grabs, there is a range of attachments to go on the TR05 including grading and digging buckets, a cable bucket, an asphalt cutter, a grab and a ripper tooth.
For the tilt-rotator, Bobcat uses a ‘plug-and-play’ system that takes less than half a day to install. An attachment control device, built into the tilt-rotator, receives its information from a controller in the machine over a 7-pin connection. The standard joysticks on the excavator are replaced with tilt-rotator joysticks incorporating all additional functions and allowing the operator to engage or disengage the tilt-rotator functions.
As well as tilting attachments up to 40o to the left or the right, the TR05 tilt-rotator can rotate an attachment infinitely through 360o in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. All tilt-rotator functions, including the auxiliary hydraulics, can be operated simultaneously and proportionately using the joysticks in the excavator cab.
