With engcon's largest tiltrotator, the EC30 and type GR30 grab, you can achieve the world's absolutely largest grab widths at 1,080 mm. The latest update of the GR20, now termed GR20B, also allows an increase of the grab width. Depending on the hitch, the grab width varies from 820 mm (S1 and S60), and up to 950 mm (S2 and S70). Other big-sellers are the small grabs GR05 and GR10, which were upgraded earlier. The newcomer and the specially-designed railway grab GR20RR (Grab 20 Rail Road) have in only a short period of time been appreciated by con- tractors specialising in railway work. The downwardly-angled grab section makes life easier for sleeper replacement using an excavator. The GR20RR in combination with the Generation 2 tiltrotators give a nearly vertical grip on the material to be moved. It is a significant advantage for a rail-based excavator that cannot be repositioned.

Since my last editorial just before Christmas, which addressed safety levels on excavator quick hitches, yet another fatal accident has occurred. This time it happened in Sweden. I don’t know all the circumstances surrounding the accident, but they’re probably not all that important for the people who lost a family member, friend or workmate. I suffer with everybody who loses someone close in an accident, no matter where or how it happens. But beyond that, I also think of the person at the controls or behind the steering wheel. Whether the operator had a part in the accident or not, sentence has already been passed. Spending the rest of one’s life wrestling with what might have been done differently is something I would wish on no one. I dare say the operator never wants to see an excavator again. And making the usual trite comment that it’s all down to the human factor will do nothing to stop the next accident. All of the excavators at our workplaces today are built according to the same established principles and standards. What’s worse, almost all of the machines supplied today work in the same way. Well, is this enough? If it is, all of the incidents and fatal accidents have been in vain.

  • Engcon's EC226 Tiltrotator for Larger Excavators Gets an Upgraded Lifting Hook – Now Approved for 8 Ton Lifting
    Mar 04, 2021 10:40 GMT Engcon's EC226 tiltrotator for larger excavators gets an upgraded lifting hook – now approved for 8 ton lifting Engcon’s EC226, the second largest tiltrotator for excavators in the 19-26 tonne weight class, now has a more powerful lifting hook that is approved for 8 tons, according to EN 474-1: 2006 + A6: 2019 ANNEX E. The upgrade applies to the directly attached tiltrotators. ”It’s thanks to an upgraded top with more powerful side plates that made the upgrade possible”, says Göran Kron, constructor at Engcon. The more powerful lifting hook can handle three tons more than the previous model, and with a larger diameter it can hold more robust chains or lifting straps. ”Yes, it has also been a wish as some drivers use reinforced lifting straps for heavy lifting,” Göran Kron continues. Göran Kron also says that the lifting hook has a CE mark like all the other lifting hooks that Engcon mounts on its tiltrotators. The EC226 upgrade applies with immediate effect, and the 8-ton hook is already in production and delivered as standard on all directly attached EC226 tiltrotators. About engcon Engcon, founded in 1990, is the world leader in the manufacture of tiltrotators and their attachments, which increase the efficiency, profitability and safety of excavators. The parent company is located in Strömsund in northern Sweden. Through its local sales companies supplies products and services in Finland, Norway, Denmark, France, North America (US and Canada), Benelux, UK, Germany and most recently in Korea and Australia. Engcon also exports tiltrotators worldwide from Sweden.
