CT10

Hydraulic tilt for excavators from 6 – 10 tonnes

  • Cylinder-free design – no pistons on the sides of the excavator arm
  • Only 288 mm wide – fits into narrow trenches and alongside foundations
  • Own weight 82 kg – low for the class
  • 2×50° tilt
  • Installation height from 250 mm, preserving the machine's breakout forces and the ability to dig a sharp edge close to the machine
  • CT-Lock as integrated standard, approved according to EU standard 474-5
  • Available with: S45, Hydrema, CW10

The Compacttilt CT10 is a hydraulic tilt for excavators in the 6 to 10 tonne class. Using the patented cylinder-free motor technology, the CT10 tilts the attachment 2×50 degrees — 100 degrees in total — exceeding the industry standard of 90 degrees. This enables precise levelling and digging in positions and angles a standard tilt cannot reach.

  • Cylinder-free design – no hydraulic cylinders on the sides of the excavator arm. The CT10 stays no wider than the arm itself, giving free passage in narrow trenches, alongside cables and pipes, and close to foundations where space is tight.
  • Narrow profile (288 mm) – the CT10 is no wider than the excavator arm. This makes it possible to dig foundation trenches to a line and work in tight slots that a wider tilt simply cannot access.
  • Low weight – at 82 kg the CT10 is light for its class, preserving as much of the machine’s lifting capacity as possible.
  • Installation height from 250 mm, preserving the machine's breakout forces and the ability to dig a sharp edge close to the machine.
  • S45, Hydrema and CW10 quick couplers – the CT10 is supplied in the configuration that suits your machine.

The CT10 is the first choice when large excavators need to carry out precise work: trench digging, foundation trenches, levelling, digging alongside pipes and cables — and any job that demands an attachment that fits where there is no space to spare.

Need rotation as well?

If you also need continuous rotation alongside tilting, CTR10 is the solution for the same machine class. The CTR10 uses the same cylinder-free motor technology and is equally suited to the 6–10 tonne segment.

Why choose CT10?


Low installation height

Up to 40% lower installation height compared to other tilt solutions.

Low weight

Up to 50% lower weight than comparable tilts in the class.

Approved for hydraulic hammer

A strong, solid product.

Integrated CT-Lock

CT-Lock is integrated as standard and approved according to EU standard 474-5.

Traditional tilt vs. CT10


The patented cylinder-free motor makes the decisive difference.

VS
Average size on the market
Average size on the market

Hydraulic cylinders on the sides of the arm increase the overall width of the attachment and limit access in narrow trenches. The cylinders are also exposed to impact damage in tight surroundings.

The cylinder-free design keeps the CT10 at 288 mm — no wider than the excavator arm itself. That gives access to foundation trenches and narrow cuts that a traditional tilt cannot get into.

What our customers say

“

I’ve got a Hydrema 926G trencher with a Compacttilt CT10 on it. You can grow quite fond of it fairly quickly — it doesn’t take up much space at all. You can dig foundation trenches to a line and get down into narrow cuts because it’s no wider than the arm itself.

Frequently asked questions


Does the CT10 fit my machine? +
The CT10 is developed for excavators in the 6 to 10 tonne class and is available with S45, Hydrema or CW10 quick couplers. Not sure about the right configuration? Contact a Compacttilt dealer for advice tailored to your machine.

The CT10 – like all Compacttilt products – is manufactured to the machine’s mounting data for a fixed-mount integration. The configuration that matches the machine’s hydraulic setup is then selected.
What is the difference between the CT10 and CTR10? +
The CT10 is a tilt: it tilts the attachment 2×50° (100° in total) but does not rotate. The CTR10 is a tiltrotator for the same machine class – it both tilts and rotates continuously. Choose the CT10 if your primary need is precise tilting – trench digging, foundation trenches, levelling. Choose the CTR10 if you also need to rotate the attachment freely through all angles.
What is the advantage of the cylinder-free design? +
Traditional tilts use hydraulic cylinders on the sides of the arm to produce the tilting movement. This increases the overall width and makes the unit more vulnerable to impact damage in confined surroundings.

The CT10’s patented cylinder-free motor is integrated within the tilt unit itself. It keeps the width at 288 mm – no wider than the excavator arm – improves operator sightlines from the cab and eliminates the risk of cylinder damage.
Can the CT10 be used for trench digging and foundation trenches? +
Yes – that is precisely where the CT10 makes a noticeable difference. The combination of the 288 mm profile and 2×50° tilt angle makes it possible to dig foundation trenches accurately to a line and work in tight slots that a wider tilt or a standard quick coupler simply cannot access. The CT10 is particularly popular on trenchers and large machines used for infrastructure work.
How much does the CT10 weigh, and does it affect lifting capacity? +
The CT10 weighs 82 kg – low for a tilt in the 6–10 tonne class. The low weight minimises the impact on the machine’s lifting capacity. Always check that the tilt’s weight and any extended reach do not exceed the machine’s tip load limits – refer to the lifting charts in the machine manual and reduce bucket volume if necessary.
How do I maintain the CT10? +
The CT10 is built without vulnerable hydraulic cylinders on the sides, significantly reducing the risk of impact damage during operation. For optimum performance and a long service life, daily greasing and regular visual inspection of seals and moving parts are recommended. If play (backlash) exceeds 2 degrees, contact your dealer for service. Inspection is recommended at 500 operating hours or 12 months – whichever comes first.
Where is Compacttilt manufactured? +
Compacttilt is a Danish product, developed and manufactured 100% in Denmark. The product range is built around a unique patented motor technology that sets it apart from conventional tilt and tiltrotator systems – both in construction and design. The system is purpose-built for excavators in the 1 to 10 tonne class.
