Caterpillar TRS Tiltrotators

April 8, 2025
Tools fit on excavators from 26,000 to 70,000 pounds.

TRS12, TRS17, TRS20, and TRS26 Cat tiltrotators for use on crawler excavators rotate 360 degrees and tilt up to 40 degrees. The standard high-flow swivel provides up to 52 gpm at 3,626 psi, and pairing it with a Cat excavator that has a second hydraulic line boosts hydraulic flow and pressure to 66 gpm at 5,076 psi.

New pressure compensated hydraulic valves manufactured with spools provide even better control of the hydraulic flow than previous designs, allowing the tiltrotator to maintain stable rotation speed regardless of tilt speed.

TRS models have a single grease point connection with the excavator’s auto-grease system. Double-acting tilt cylinders fitted with a load holding valve ensure the load is securely in position, even in the event of the hydraulic system losing pressure.
