Robur Attachments says its latest addition, the Robur Dynamo Tilt coupler, is the toughest tiny tilt coupler on the market

The Dynamo is designed specifically to work with mini diggers

Robur Attachments’ latest addition, the Robur Dynamo Tilt coupler, is the toughest tiny tilt coupler on the market, the company says. "To say we’re excited about this product is an understatement," says Robur director Clem Simpkin.

"The Dynamo is the toughest, most compact tilt coupler on the market, designed specifically to work with mini diggers. Our engineers have spent a number of years developing, testing, and refining the design of this mini tilt coupler and the end result is a tough, reliable coupler that will tilt all attachments through a full 90-degree range."

He adds that the narrow profile of the Dynamo makes the design of the coupler ideal for trenching, working in tight locations, or virtually any job. "It has also been designed to be squat, meaning the tip radius of a Dynamo and wide bucket set-up is much less than that of a drawpin coupler and tilt bucket set-up. This improves breakout force and the overall performance of your digger."

The Dynamo Tilt couplers are light while maintaining strength and reliability

When operating a mini digger, the weight on the end of the boom is an important consideration. With that in mind, Robur have designed their Dynamo Tilt Coupler to be light while maintaining strength and reliability.

The Dynamo will provide a strong alternative to the traditional tilt bucket

"At a low 35kg, these really are also the lightest tilt coupler on the market," says Clem.
The Dynamo will provide a strong alternative to the traditional tilt bucket that most mini diggers have been operating, with the added benefit of being able to tilt any attachment.

"It’s easy to change your attachment with the drawpin coupler—simply remove the drawpin to release the attachment and then reinsert the drawpin to lock your new attachment on securely."

The Dynamo weighs only 35kg

The twin-ram is designed to hold the tilt angle in all types of digging conditions. The tilting action gives the operator a range of movement, helping them work more efficiently around utilities and obstructions, and, therefore, less repositioning of the digger will be required.

The rams are well protected within the coupler, minimising the risk of damage. Robur says their unique, patented design includes additional cushioning around the rams and means any impact forces from the attachment are significantly reduced.

The cushioning and reduced impact also help minimise wear and tear on machines. "Thanks to this design, the Dynamo can safely be used with a rock breaker giving operators maximum versatility," says Clem.

The hoses and fittings are all secured within the Dynamo coupler and do not protrude or get in the way when in use, preventing the damage that can occur with a traditional tilt bucket. If operators want to change attachments, it’s a straightforward process—there’s no need to detach or reattach hoses.

"As with all our Robur couplers, the Dynamo Tilt coupler is supplied with a rated lifting eye and comes with a robust 24-month warranty that covers more than just the chassis of the attachment." The Robur Dynamo tilt coupler is available now to suit most mini excavator models from one- to 1.9-tonne.
