Steelwrist was founded in Sweden 2005, first setting up a shop in a garage north of Stockholm. The company has since then grown from a small newcomer to the global leader it is today and has delivered products to thousands of customers worldwide over the last 20 years. The focus remains the same as when the company was founded; to develop, manufacture and sell tiltrotators, quick couplers and work tools that make excavators more efficient. 2025 marks 20 years in business for Steelwrist, which will be highlighted throughout the year, alongside the introduction of several significant product news.
Why tiltrotator?
The tiltrotator has proven to be the key that truly unlocks the efficiency of an excavator, and it is the centrepiece in the Steelwrist offering. With endless rotation and 45 degrees tilt in both directions, the tiltrotator allows the operator to do more types of jobs, be faster and work with greater precision.
If you ask the excavator operators their opinion, they will tell you they would never go back to working without. In fact, in Steelwrist’s 20-year history, we are not aware of one single customer who adopted the tiltrotator concept and then returned to working without.
The transformation of an excavator into a true tool carrier significantly boosts worksite efficiency and safety. By reducing costs and enabling more tasks to be completed directly from the cab, the need for ground personnel is reduced, making operations smoother and safer. Fewer machine movements mean saving time, reducing fuel consumption, lowering machine wear, and further enhancing safety – a compelling advantage for any operator.
Continuous development of the tiltrotator technology and expansion to new markets
The tiltrotator concept is deeply rooted in the Nordic region, widely regarded as the world’s most advanced excavator market where contractors and operators are highly motivated to adopt and invest in cutting-edge products and technologies. Positioned at the heart of this innovation-driven market, tiltrotator manufacturers thrive in a dynamic environment that fosters product development and promotes healthy competition.

“I am extremely proud of what our team has accomplished since Steelwrist was founded, and the 20 year anniversary will be highlighted throughout 2025. I have myself been running the SQ40 size for over a year on my own excavator and I am really looking forward to presenting the SQ40 solution which will bring efficiency to new levels also for the smaller excavators”, says Stefan Stockhaus, CEO and co-founder of Steelwrist.
