The UK's first independent tiltrotator dealer - Exc@v8
Exc@v8 are amongst the most experienced and respected tiltrotator dealers and installers in the UK. With a wealth of knowledge gained from over a decade of working directly with manufacturers - including Engcon and later Rototilt (formerly the Indexator product), Steelwrist and SMP - we know what we are doing when it comes to tilting and rotating.
Amongst the most experienced installers of the Rototilt and SMP products in the UK and Ireland, one of the longest standing UK installers and repairers of the Engcon product and with an intricate understanding of all types of control system from all the major brands, we decided that in order to truly deliver the correct product to our customers for their individual situation we would become an independent agent, better allowing us to source used units across the board and enabling us to supply and fit the customers unit preference without any conflict of interest.
Exc@v8 continues to cater for end-users throughout the UK with our national installation and support team.
We also provide sales and installations where the tiltrotator forms part of a more complex package - where full machine control is desired on a wheeled excavator for example or as factory/OEM fitment on Menzi Muck equipment. One Stop, all brands, all parts and combined with many years experience.
A little background...
The concept has grown dramatically in Scandinavia over the past 30 years with currently over 90% of all excavators sold annually throughout the Nordic countries being fitted with a tiltrotator. All major manufacturers now have many years of pedigree and are experienced at working with many major global excavator manufacturers, enhancing yet simplifying the experience for the end user.
The tiltrotator gives new levels of efficiency, allowing an excavator to work in previously impossible ways, both maximising machine up-time and reducing the need for re-positioning, which in turn significantly reduces undercarriage wear.
A tiltrotator equipped excavator can perform tasks previously thought unmanageable or uneconomical and due to this there is often a reduced number of machines on site, therefore reducing input costs.

The choice is yours...
With the unique ability to supply and service all major brands of tiltrotator, Exc@v8 are the first port of call for many people, including the multitude of long-standing repeat customers to whom we provide installation and maintenance for all things tiltrotator.
Regardless of brand, we are able to sell and install new and used units directly to you, or perhaps you have your own unit already which requires installation to another machine or just a quick once-over by our experienced technicians.
At Exc@v8 we are renowned for our refurbished and re-conditioned units - we have a great deal of experience sourcing, rebuilding and supplying used tiltrotators to either provide a lower cost start-out solution or as a mid-life overhaul for existing customers who may be upgrading excavators. With setup advice and installation provided plus warranty on all major components, our refurbishment service is an obvious choice to many.

Steelwrist
At Exc@v8 our general product preference lies with Steelwrist. After years of experience we know that Steelwrists durability and ease of control make both your excavator and your business more efficient.
Steelwrist supply the safest tiltrotators and couplers on the market. Their mechanical twin-lock FPL system is tried and tested globally and its simplicity lends itself to thousands of hours of use with maximum uptime and minimal service calls.
The more complicated the job – the higher the productivity when using a tiltrotator – a well known fact. Experienced operators usually estimate the productivity improvement to between 20 and 35% depending on the type of job.
The tiltrotator can then be equipped with all kinds of accessories and tools to optimise your operation, either directly at purchase or through retrofitting. What's more, Steelwrist have an extensive network of specialised service partners and dealers that complement each of us as a whole.
Steelwrist is today the fastest growing manufacturer of tiltrotators and quick couplers in the world. A determined focus on robust and modern products, combined with fast service has been appreciated by an increasing number of customers.

OilQuick
OilQuick first launched their quick coupler in 1993 and launched their own integrated tiltrotator system in 2009. The OilQuick system really lends itself to the top-coupler format with the tiltrotator able to be removed and re-attached in seconds allowing the system to accommodate high-output, high flow or heavy attachments and is popular with demolition, forestry and drilling contractors.
Having an OilQuick system both above and below the tiltrotator allows it to be removed quickly to attach a standard bucket, ripper, hydraulic hammer, mulcher, crusher, drill or similar thus making maximum use of your excavator's capacity and breakout force. This also makes sure that the right tool is used for the right job and keeps fuel consumption to a minimum.
Exc@v8 are very experienced with OilQuick's tiltrotator control and coupling systems.

Control Systems
Whilst we at Exc@v8 have a wealth of experience installing all major control systems from each manufacturer, our control system of choice is the Swedish SVAB system. As the oldest manufacturer of proportional control systems for tiltrotators, SVAB is the most flexible and future-proof of all.
Using the SVAB system we can go far beyond the simple 'tilt and rotate'' functions - we are able to take control of any attachment (with or without the tiltrotator present) and indeed the complete excavator if necessary, allowing seamless integration of wheel or track steering, blade and leg control, F-N-R functions, extra boom functions and many more.
Renowned for being 'bullet-proof', the SVAB system is compatible with all brands of tiltrotator and all brands of excavator. It also allows multiple brands of tiltrotator to be shared between excavators within a fleet without interface problems - there is nothing we cannot control with this system.
As the industry progresses into a new age of machine control, SVAB are already one step ahead with the Quantum system. Quantum is the next generation of control system allowing complete optimisation and integration of tiltrotator, excavator and GPS system with features including automatic tool recognition and work profile adjustment plus GPS tracking of all attachments.
