As a further step forward in making the excavator an effective tool carrier, a newly developed compactor plate for excavators in the size 12-24 tonnes is now being launched. The PC6000 compactor plate has been adapted for use under a tiltrotator, increasing the excavator's efficiency whilst reducing risk of personal injury.
In the spring of 2022, tiltrotator manufacturer engcon will launch a lightweight pallet fork for excavators in the weight class of 2-6 tonnes. As a result, the work that can be done by these machines is further expanded, which contributes to increased efficiency and profitability.
engcon, the leading global supplier of tiltrotators, quick hitches and advanced accessories for excavators, will launch its EC-Oil quick hitch system during spring 2022 on the lower quick hitch on the tiltrotator EC206 for excavators in the 4-6 ton weight class. This means that hydraulics, electronics, and central lubrication are connected automatically while the driver remains in the cab.
Being able to connect a tiltrotator or other hydraulic tools without having to step out of the cab continues to gain in popularity. Engcon's statistics show that demand for the automatic quick hitch system with EC-Oil is increasing year on year. From 2019 - 2020, sales of Engcon's automatic quick hitch with EC-Oil have increased globally by 76 percent.
World-leading tiltrotator manufacturer Engcon continues to establish new operations around the world. The most recent opening took place in South Korea, where the company is starting up Engcon Korea Ltd with its own sales and aftermarket staff as well as a network of dealers and service partners. The official start of the company took place at Korea's largest machinery trade fair Conex Korea.
On January 28, 2021, Engcon's founder and owner Stig Engström was presented with “H.M. The King's Medal of the 12th size with a bright blue ribbon” for his significant contribution to Swedish industry. Due to the pandemic, previously H.M. The King's Medal could not be awarded in person but during a recent medal ceremony at the Royal Palace of Stockholm Stig Engström was able to receive the medal.
The construction and contractors sector in 2020 suffered both a loss of turnover and as a consequence, reduced profits. The world-leading tiltrotator manufacturer Engcon also had a reduction in turnover, but still managed to deliver better results compared to 2019, which means improved profitability for the Engcon group.
The introduction of automatic quick hitches has made it easier for excavator operators to disconnect the tiltrotator when extra digging or lifting power is required. On these occasions ground conditions may not be suitable to park the tiltrotator. That's why Engcon is now launching a new stand to transport and store the tiltrotator. It thus solves many transportation and storage challenges.
Engcon, the world-leading tiltrotator manufacturer, has for the third year in a row received the award Sweden's Best Managed Companies, presented by Deloitte in collaboration with Nasdaq. “This is a proof that we run the company in a serious and long-term way. It is with pride that we receive this award”, says Krister Blomgren, CEO at Engcon.
Engcon, the world-leading manufacturer of tiltrotators, has been known in recent years for excavators in the weight class over 6 tonnes, enabling the coupling of hydraulic tools without the operator having to leave the cab. Engcon is continually improving the flexibility, efficiency and safety even for smaller excavators.
The National Diesel & Turf Expo took place recently in Australia, one of the world's few remaining machine shows to be held during the pandemic. The world-leading tiltrotator manufacturer Engcon exhibited under its own auspices for the first time this year and can now sum up its participation as a success.
At the beginning of 2021, Volvo CE announced that they had developed the Volvo Smart Connect solution. A new factory option that connects tiltrotators from different manufacturers directly to the machine, integrated with Volvo's machine steering system, Volvo Dig Assist. Simultaneously, Engcon announced that they have adapted their own control system DC2 for this new possibility with eML.
engcon is a world-leading manufacturer of tiltrotators and associated attachments which enhance the efficiency, flexibility, profitability, safety and sustainability of excavators. Under our own brand, we offer a unique tiltrotator system that transforms the excavator into a tool carrier that can replace other machines. We address the market through our local sales companies and an established network of resellers around the world.
