A tilting hitch upgrade delivers leading-edge control of excavator attachments. But with different types available, which is best? This guide outlines key factors to consider when choosing the right excavator tilt hitch.

 

Common Tilt Hitch Types

Popular options include:

  • Basic hydraulic tilt hitch

  • Power tilt hitch with electric motor actuation

  • Hinges allowing right/left attachment rotation

  • Models incorporating powered rotation

 

Sizing to Excavator

Ensure the hitch weight rating matches the excavator's operating weight class. Oversized units reduce productivity.

 

Intended Construction Uses

Applications like grading require greater precision than general excavation. Match capabilities to tasks like adding slope angles or fine surface levels.

 

Optimal Angle Control

Consider variable-speed electric actuation on a power tilt hitch or hydraulic tilt capabilities.

 

Attachment Compatibility

Ensure hitch mounting fits planned buckets plus any specialty attachments like hydraulic hammers.

 

Durability Standards

Harsher jobsites demand top-rated components from brands like JIANGTU or Genie.
