Rotator 7

Rotator 7 with 49.5 mm rotator pin

An efficient rotator on a forestry crane is essential when working with logs because it:

1. Provides smooth handling – A rotator allows the grab to rotate 360 degrees, making it easier to position logs precisely during loading and unloading.

2. Increases efficiency – With a smooth and responsive rotator, the work can be done faster, without unnecessary adjustments to the crane's main arm.

3. Reduces wear on the crane – A functioning rotator prevents unnecessary torsional stress on the crane's boom and joints, reducing wear and extending the equipment’s lifespan.

4. Improves safety – A properly functioning rotator reduces the risk of sudden jerks or unpredictable movements, which can be dangerous both for the operator and people nearby.

5. Enables precision work – When loading logs onto trailers or in stacks, precise placement is required, which becomes easier with a well-functioning rotator.
