WHAT'S HOT

THE TOROIDAL-TILT

The Toroidal-Tilt is the first tilting coupler in history
to incorporate rams which are curved or ‘bent’. After
more than ten years of development, Calibre has
taken the Toroidal-Tilt to the market.
The Toroidal-Tilt is powered by a whole new patented
circular hydraulic ram system developed by Calibre.
Among its unique features, the Toroidal-Tilt holds;

• Increased versatility from your machine


• The ability to tilt 100 degrees (50 degrees
  each way)


• A lower profile and lighter-weight structure

which reduces fuel costs whilst increasing
productivity

• A more compact profile which is smaller
  than other tilting devices


• Fewer parts making it easy to maintain


• A sensitive touch response mechanism


• Constant torque output at any tilt range
  allowing for precise operator control


• A larger lifting power than other tilt devices


• twin curved displacement cylinders
  that enables a uniform transfer of power
  throughout the turn cycle


• the simplicity of hydraulic power to
  handle the rigours of the huge load
  forces encountered in the construction
  industry

How does the Toroidal-Tilt differ from current style
tilting hitches on the market?

When considering the current style ram and
actuator tilts on the market - the Toroidal-Tilt holds

the compactness and flexibility of a mechanical

actuator tilt as well as the strength and robustness of

a hydraulic tilt - with fewer moving parts and easier

serviceability.

Compactness and flexibility

One of the noticeable downsides of a straight ram

style tilt hitch is the large rams which stick out of the

sides. They are bulky and are not ideal for working

in confined spaces. The Toroidal-Tilt design is more

compact - making it easier to work in situations where

narrow configuration is essential.

Serviceability and cost of maintenance

The negative with an actuator style tilt being

mechanical is that they are far more complex and

expensive to maintain and repair. Servicing of an

actuator tilt is timely as the mechanism requires

removal or servicing by a specialist in a workshop

• whereas the Toroidal-Tilt can be serviced on-site
  on the machine. Since the Toroidal-Tilt holds less
  moving parts, there is a lower risk of breakdown. If
  a breakdown does occur, the Toroidal-Tilt is serviced
  on-site at a much lower cost than other tilting devices.
  Furthermore, the Toroidal-Tilt has been manufactured
  to handle extremely demanding work far beyond the
  limitations of ram and actuator tilting devices.
