Compacttilt CTR Tiltrotator
Increase efficiency, flexibility and operator comfort
The Compacttilt CTR Tiltrotator adds 360° continuous rotation and 2×50° tilt in one compact system, making any excavator more efficient when performing tasks such as excavation, grading, levelling and material handling.
Compacttilt is engineered with a strong focus on compact design, high structural strength and maximum reliability. Its low build height and robust construction ensure excellent breakout force and stability while maintaining the excavator’s overall performance.
What is a
Tiltrotator?
A tiltrotator is mounted between the excavator's dipper arm and the attachment, combining two movements in a single unit: 360° continuous rotation and hydraulic tilt in both directions. This allows the operator to rotate and tilt the attachment directly from the cab without repositioning the machine.
The result is easier access to confined and hard-to-reach working areas, greater precision during grading and levelling, and a more efficient workflow.
A tiltrotator significantly increases an excavator's versatility, productivity and flexibility, while also improving operator comfort by reducing the need for unnecessary machine movements.
The Compacttilt Difference
At the heart of every CTR Compacttilt Rotator is our patented cylinder-free technology.
While conventional tiltrotators rely on external hydraulic cylinders to create the tilting movement, Compacttilt is engineered without any external cylinders. This provides a slimmer design for working in narrow trenches and confined spaces, as well as a lower overall build height that helps preserve the excavator's breakout force.
Removing the external cylinders also provides the operator with improved visibility of the working area, reduces the number of exposed components and significantly lowers the attachment's overall weight.
At the same time, the Compacttilt achieves an impressive 2 × 50° tilt angle (100° total), providing a wider working range and greater flexibility than traditional systems offering 2 × 45°.
Compacttilt Tilt
If you don't require continuous rotation, Compacttilt also offers a Tilt based on the same patented cylinder-free technology.
It delivers the same key benefits—including a compact design, excellent visibility, low weight and maximum durability—in an even simpler and lighter solution.

Tiltrotatorfor mini excavators
Great performance, compact format.
More and more landscapers, contractors and groundworkers are equipping their mini excavator with a tiltrotator. Especially on tight urban sites, in gardens and along existing infrastructure, 360° rotation makes the difference between constantly repositioning and simply working on.
On a mini excavator, every kilo and every centimetre counts.
A conventional tiltrotator quickly adds significant weight and installation height – at the expense of lifting capacity and breakout force.
That is precisely why the Compacttilt Rotator was developed. Thanks to the cylinder-free, patented motor, weight and installation height are kept to a minimum – without compromising on power, precision and reliability.
The benefits formini excavators
Low weight
Retain more lifting capacity and breakout force.
Low installation height
More room under the arm for optimal performance.
Maximum flexibility
360° rotation and 2×50° tilt for every challenge.
Better sightlines
No side cylinders, open design for optimal view.
Important: Compacttilt tiltrotators are suitable for mini excavators from 1 tonne. De CTR2 is specifically designed for machines from 1 – 2 tonnes.

Gripper & HS2:Get more out of your Rotator
More functionality. More efficiency. More possibilities. With the gripper and the HS2 control system, your excavator becomes a true all-rounder.
Gripper
Grab, rotate, place – without changing
For the CTR6 en CTR10 an integrated gripper available as an option. With it you grab, rotate and place stones, pipes and timber without changing attachments – the bucket simply stays mounted.
This turns your excavator into a sorting and lifting machine.
More flexibility
Grab, rotate and place without changing attachments.
Save time
Fewer changes = faster work and more output.

Patentered engine
More breakout force in less space
The patented motor from Compacttilt is unique in its class. Since the system has no cylinders on the sides, it creates more space and a slimmer design. This gives you greater freedom of movement and better visibility during work.
If Compacttilt had not invented the patented motor, it would have had cylinders on the sides. But Compacttilt has no cylinders – therefore we offer a slim design.
Compacttilt’s products feature an open construction. Thanks to this open design, the product is easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance – even in working environments with stones, gravel, and soil.
The compact build height makes it possible to handle more weight without losing control. This improves not only efficiency but also safety.
Thanks to the patented motor, Compacttilt products maintain a low weight while remaining exceptionally strong – ideal for daily use under demanding conditions.
With a tilt angle of 50° to each side, Compacttilt offers more possibilities than traditional systems. This means more precision, more control, and a better result every time.
