About the Thwaites 1.5 Tonne Power Swivel
The Thwaites 1.5 Tonne Power Swivel is a wheeled site dumper with a skip that rotates 90° left and right — allowing the operator to tip loads into skips, trenches, or stockpiles that a straight-tip machine couldn't reach without repositioning. Where access is tight and manoeuvrability matters, the power swivel removes a constraint that would otherwise slow the work down. Powered by a Yanmar Stage V engine with hydrostatic transmission, it's easy to drive, pulls well in all ground conditions, and carries 1,500 kg per load.
