About this product
📘 Overview
A skid steer rotating base that turns a load right over. The EZ Spot UR Chain Rotating Base (EZ-001C) is the base with the widest rotation in the skid steer range: a hydraulic motor drives a double 40 chain on a 5.75 inch sprocket, turning the shaft 350 degrees non-continuous — 175 degrees right and 175 degrees left. That arc is what fully inverts a load, which is why it is the base used with the Barrel Handler for emptying drums. It carries a 2.94 inch 4140 shaft on two tapered roller bearings, taking any EZ Spot UR tool head with a 3 inch square receiver, pinned with a 3/4 inch pin.
⚙ Key Features of the Chain Rotating Base
- 350 degrees non-continuous rotation — 175 degrees in each direction, nearly triple the arc of the Double Cylinder Rotating Base.
- Chain and motor drive rather than opposed cylinders: a hydraulic motor, double 40 chain and 5.75 inch sprocket.
- Motor displacement 9.7 cubic inches per revolution, producing 2,059 in-lb of torque at 1,650 delta PSI.
- 2.94" 4140 shaft sized to the 3" square receiver used across the EZ Spot UR range.
- Two tapered roller bearings for smooth rotation under load.
- Single 3/4" pin secures the attachment to the base.
- Grade 50 steel, core welded.
- Ships complete with hoses, flush-faced couplers, spring hose mount and wiring harness.
🔑 Why the Chain Rotating Base Earns Its Place
- Inverts the load — 175 degrees each way is enough to turn a drum or container completely over, which a 127 degree base cannot do.
- Empties either side of the machine — rotation runs both directions, so the operator is not repositioning to dump.
- Motor drive holds position under load rather than relying on cylinder stroke.
- Takes the same tool heads as every other EZ Spot UR base.
- Purpose-matched to drum work — it is the base EZ Spot UR pairs with the Barrel Handler.

The Chain Rotating Base accepts any EZ Spot UR tool head built with a 3" square female receiver — the common interface across the range. Heads change by pulling one 3/4" pin out of the shaft and sliding the next one on, so a single base serves every tool you own.
🚜 Which Machines Take This Skid Steer Rotating Base?
The Chain Rotating Base attaches to skid steer loaders and compact track loaders equipped with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system, including:
BobcatCaterpillarJohn DeereCaseNew HollandTakeuchiKubotaGehl
The machine must supply 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through an auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings, plus an electrical connection for the harness. The base can also be adapted to excavators, wheel loaders, telehandlers and backhoes with a special bolt-on mount.
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration and auxiliary hydraulic flow before ordering. Everything needed to confirm fitment is on this page — add it to your cart to check delivered pricing for your address.
Freight note: inspect the crate before signing the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Note any damage on the delivery paperwork at the time of delivery — that record is what supports a carrier claim.
❓ Chain Rotating Base Questions, Answered
Why choose the Chain Rotating Base over the Double Cylinder Rotating Base?
Rotation. The Chain Rotating Base turns 350 degrees non-continuous, 175 degrees in each direction, which is enough to fully invert a load. The Double Cylinder Rotating Base gives 127 degrees to the operator's left, which repositions a load but will not turn it over. If you are emptying drums or containers, the chain base is the one.
Which tool heads fit the Chain Rotating Base?
Any EZ Spot UR tool head with a 3" square female receiver. EZ Spot UR pairs it primarily with the Barrel Handler, because full inversion is what emptying a drum requires.
What drives the rotation?
A hydraulic motor turning a double 40 chain on a 5.75 inch sprocket, rather than the opposed cylinders used on the Double Cylinder Rotating Base. The motor displaces 9.7 cubic inches per revolution and produces 2,059 in-lb of torque at 1,650 delta PSI.
What does non-continuous rotation mean?
The shaft turns 175 degrees right and 175 degrees left from centre, for 350 degrees of total travel, but it does not spin freely through a full circle. There are mechanical limits at each end of the arc.
What hydraulic flow does the Chain Rotating Base need?
The Chain Rotating Base runs on 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through a standard auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings rated to a 15 ksi burst pressure. A high-flow machine is not required.
How is the Chain Rotating Base shipped?
Shipping is calculated at checkout — add the Chain Rotating Base to your cart, enter your delivery address, and the freight charge is displayed before you complete the order. Lift gate service is available for residential deliveries and can be selected at checkout.
