About this product
📘 Overview
The EZ Spot UR Mini Excavator Rotator (EZ-001X) is a small, lightweight rotating base built for mini excavators. It does not use a quick attach plate — it requires a bolt-on mount specific to the brand and model of excavator it will run on. A single 3 x 9.5 inch cylinder drives the 2.94 inch 4140 square shaft through a rack and pinion, developing 21,206 lb of breakout force and rotating 110 degrees counter-clockwise and 90 degrees clockwise from horizontal. Because it is the lightest base in the range, lighter tool heads are typically paired with it so the excavator keeps more lift capacity for the load.
⚙ Key Features of the Mini Excavator Rotator
- Purpose-built for mini excavators — a bolt-on mount matched to your machine, not a skid steer quick attach plate.
- 110 degrees counter-clockwise and 90 degrees clockwise from the horizontal position.
- Rack and pinion drive from one 3" x 9.5" cylinder developing 21,206 lb of breakout force.
- Lightest base in the EZ Spot UR range, which is the point: it preserves excavator lift capacity.
- 2.94" square shaft taking any EZ Spot UR tool head with a 3" square receiver.
- Two tapered roller bearings for smooth rotation.
- Grade 50 steel, core welded.
- Ships complete with hoses, flush-faced couplers, spring hose mount and wiring harness.
🔑 Why the Mini Excavator Rotator Earns Its Place
- Opens the EZ Spot UR range to excavator owners — tool heads otherwise limited to skid steers become usable on a mini excavator.
- Preserves lift capacity — on a machine where every pound of attachment weight comes off the load chart, the lightest base matters more than on a skid steer.
- Rotation in both directions from horizontal, unlike the single-direction skid steer bases.
- Same tool heads as the rest of the range — nothing proprietary to the excavator side.
- Rack and pinion gives controlled rotation from a single cylinder in a compact envelope.
📊 Mini Excavator Rotator Specifications
Specification Value Machine type Mini excavator Mounting method Bolt-on mount specific to the brand and model of excavator Rotation 110° counter-clockwise and 90° clockwise from horizontal Rotation cylinder 1 × 3" bore x 9.5" stroke, rack and pinion Cylinder breakout force 21,206 lb Shaft 2.94" 4140 square Tool head interface 3" square receiver, 3/4" pin Bearings Two tapered roller bearings Construction Grade 50 steel, core welded Supplied with Hoses, flush-faced couplers, spring hose mount, wiring harness🔗 Which Tool Heads Fit the Mini Excavator Rotator?
The Mini Excavator Rotator 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 Mini Excavator Rotator?
The Mini Excavator Rotator mounts to mini excavators using a bolt-on mount made specifically for the brand and model of your machine. It is not a quick attach implement and does not fit a skid steer plate, so fitment is determined by your excavator’s make, model and boom or coupler arrangement rather than by a mount standard.
The excavator must also supply an auxiliary hydraulic circuit for the rotation cylinder and for the tool head fitted to it, connected with ¾" flush-face couplings.
Mounting is model-specific, so the correct bolt-on mount must be matched to your excavator before ordering — email support@eskidsteer.com or message us on chat with your machine make and model and we will confirm the mount you need. 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.
❓ Mini Excavator Rotator Questions, Answered
Will the Mini Excavator Rotator fit my excavator?
It depends on the machine. The Mini Excavator Rotator requires a bolt-on mount made specifically for the brand and model of excavator it will run on, rather than a universal plate. Send us your machine make and model and we will confirm which mount is required.
Does the Mini Excavator Rotator fit a skid steer?
No. It is built for mini excavators and mounts with a model-specific bolt-on mount. For a skid steer, the Double Cylinder Rotating Base, Fixed Non-Rotating Base or Chain Rotating Base are the correct choices.
How far does the Mini Excavator Rotator turn?
110 degrees counter-clockwise from the horizontal position and 90 degrees clockwise from horizontal, driven by a single 3 x 9.5 inch cylinder through a rack and pinion.
Which tool heads work best on the Mini Excavator Rotator?
Any EZ Spot UR tool head with a 3" square female receiver will fit. Lighter heads are the usual choice, because an excavator's lift capacity is reduced by everything hanging on the boom — a lighter base and head leave more capacity for the load itself.
How is the Mini Excavator Rotator shipped?
Shipping is calculated at checkout — add the Mini Excavator Rotator 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.
