The motivation of the jury - Best newcomer
“engcon is the largest global supplier of tiltrotators and associated equipment that contributes to reduced carbon emissions through direct savings in fuel and indirect savings through increased productivity and flexible work. The tiltrotator’s contribution to resource efficiency per excavator (30 tonnes diesel) is around 25% increased productivity, which translates into some 16,200kg CO2 savings per year. In addition, the tiltrotator and associated equipment can replace the need for a higher number of machines for some projects and reduce the wear and tear of excavators by 20–40%, prolonging their lifetime. The tiltorotator also creates a safer way of working, reducing workplace incidents. To meet future demands, the new third generation tiltrotator system is taking progressive steps towards sustainability, applying smart technology to reduce energy consumption, and is adapted to be ready for the electrification of excavators.”
