TR14NOX Tiltrotator – Beach front works in Canada

Two workers with tiltrotator in front of excavator

In May 2017, the natural beach area in front of an idyllic estate close to Kirkfield, Ontario/Canada, had to be paved and fixed. Rosedale Construction and Landscaping from Kirkfield was awarded the contract.

The beach front had to be levelled and prepared first with a special grading bucket, then a universal grab was used to position large curbstones in a row to fix the beach front. Both tools were attached to a Kinshofer TR14NOX Tiltrotator, directly mounted to the carrier machine and picking up the attachments with a S60 quick coupler.

This cylinderless solution from Kinshofer (headquartered in Germany) was tested and evaluated by the operator.

"It took me about two to three weeks to get used to working with this tiltrotator. I haven‘t worked with one before, but I can still say that this cylinderless and compact design is an advantage", the operator tells us. "It is fast and strong and in the last three months that I have been working with the NOX I can see about 25% time savings. I am still using a co-worker, but the whole job is done so much faster."

Thanks to this universal joint, the excavator has to be repositioned much less, adding up to time savings and working security.
"I just need to move the excavator when the job is not reachable distance-wise or I need to change my work tools. I had seen videos of the NOX and I really like the cylinderless solution, because there is tighter trenching possible, there are less disturbing parts and less greasing. My best buddy at the industry uses convenient cylinder tiltrotators and he tried to convince me into these, but I didn‘t like the cylinder."

Asked about the control system, the operator added "all over a perfect combination, fast and strong but sensitive at the same time with just moving the rollers to the right position. Really cool!"

Rosedale Construction had first worked with a 2nd generation NOX tiltrotator which had been limited on the oil flow through the swivel and with their grapple. But with the latest version now, they have found their perfect performance.
"I am absolutely happy with the service, too, from Kinshofer and also from my dealer."
