Steelwrist Tiltrotators & Excavator Attachments
Every repositioning move, every out-of-cab tool change, every awkward angle you can’t quite reach — that’s time and money leaking off your job site. Steelwrist tiltrotators put full 360° control in your hands, so the machine adapts to the terrain instead of the other way around.
Why Steelwrist Tiltrotators Solve Your Biggest Jobsite Problem
— THE PROBLEM
Repositioning the Machine All Day
A fixed bucket only works straight on. Every slope, angled cut, or tight spot means moving the machine, bringing in a skid steer, or putting a crew on shovels. Every tool change means climbing out of the cab. That adds up to fuel, labor hours, extra machines on site, and torn-up ground.
— THE SOLUTION
Turn Your Excavator Into a Swiss Army Knife
A Steelwrist tiltrotator sits between your stick and your tool. It tilts 45° each way and rotates 360° without limits, so the tool goes where the job needs it while the machine stays put. Add quick couplers, an integrated gripper, and powered tools, and one excavator handles digging, grading, placing, and material handling.
— THE RESULT
More Work From Every Machine Hour
Fewer machine moves:
Work the whole area from one spot
Less hand labor:
No crew with shovels and rakes
Lower fuel burn:
Less repositioning, less idling
Safer tool changes:
Lock visible from the cab

It’s Steelwrist’s newest line, launched in 2024. It adds LockSense, OptiLube onboard lubrication, and the InstallMate installation app.
S vs. SQ couplers
SQ couplers have built-in oil couplings, so you can switch hydraulic tools in seconds without leaving the cab.
What tools can I run on a tiltrotator?
Buckets, grading beams, and rippers, plus powered tools like grapples, tree shears, compactors, pallet forks, and sweepers.
A Decade with Steelwrist
Ten years ago, A&D Equipment became one of the first Steelwrist dealers in North America. It started with a phone call and a handshake, back when tiltrotators were still new to most American job sites. Ten years later, the partnership is still growing. Asked what makes A&D a valuable partner, Steelwrist founder Stefan Stockhaus gave a two-word answer: “The people.”
A Steelwrist tiltrotator lets your bucket tilt 45° each way and rotate a full 360°. One operator can handle work that used to take a machine move, a hand-shovel crew, or a second attachment. Steelwrist builds them in Sweden, with the Open-S fully automatic quick coupler standard, so operators can swap tools without leaving the cab.
We didn’t just start selling Steelwrist. We helped bring it to North America.
