Tech Tuesday: What Is a Tiltrotator Control System And Do You Need One?
A tiltrotator adds serious capability to an excavator but the attachment is only half the story.
How you control it matters just as much.

Single Circuit vs Twin Circuit.
Some excavators have a single auxiliary hydraulic circuit for attachments - one function at a time, on or off, one direction.
A tiltrotator needs to control multiple functions:
👉 Tilt - left and right
👉 Rotation - continuous 360 degrees
👉 The attachment mounted to it
On a single circuit machine a control system is not optional - it is a requirement. Without it a tiltrotator cannot function as intended.

What a Control System Does:
It sits between the machine's hydraulic circuit and the attachment, distributing flow intelligently across multiple functions.
👉 Proportional control - precise speed and movement
👉 Simultaneous operation of multiple functions
👉 Adjustable flow to each function independently
On a twin circuit machine, tilt and rotation can already operate simultaneously - but a control system adds proportional control, adjustable speeds, and the ability to operate an attachment on the tiltrotator at the same time.

The Simple Analogy.
Think of the hydraulic circuit as a pipe feeding several taps. Without a control system you can only open one tap at full flow.
The control system adds individual valves - run multiple at once, at different speeds, with full control over each.

Control System Options:
Tiltrotator control systems typically replace the machine's standard joysticks with dedicated proportional controllers fitted to the cab.
Units like the SVAB L8 are a popular choice - a dedicated proportional joystick that gives the operator individual control over each tiltrotator function with precise feathering and speed adjustment built in.
These systems are wired into the machine's existing hydraulic circuit and calibrated to the specific tiltrotator being used.

Simple takeaway:
A tiltrotator control system distributes hydraulic flow across multiple functions simultaneously. On a single circuit machine it is a requirement.

The Simex VSE Tornado 4.3 screening bucket. Designed for separating materials of different sizes on site, with a bucket capacity of 0.15m³ and suited to excavators in the 3 to 6 tonne range. The star-shaped screening elements give it strong performance even in wet and damp conditions, which is a useful advantage on a typical UK job site. Though the weather is looking promising this week!

The Simex VSE Tornado 4.3, built for 3 to 6 tonne excavators, this screening bucket handles material separation directly on site - wet ground included. The quick replacement system for the shafts and screening elements is a practical feature that keeps downtime to a minimum when you need to swap things out.
