The RotoTop, a rotary drive made in the South of Germany, has won over quite a few contractors in the UK since it was sold for the first time to Ben Porteous in Plymouth in the autumn of 2023. Ben Porteous explains that he had been looking for a cheap, simple alternative to the standard tilt rotators for a long time in order to avoid the associated disadvantages. He says: ‘In my opinion, these are far too complicated, including installation in the excavators and the control system, the extra plumbing and altering flows, etc.,’ he said. Then there are the costs, which bring tears to your eyes, and the fact that you also have to buy other buckets if you want to make a real profit."
Advice from Jason McCullough, Managing Director of MPS Southwest and RotoTop UK, convinced him of the benefits of the RotoTop, particularly the cost/benefit ratio. Ben Porteous explains shortly after the purchase: "With the RotoTop from Holp I can do 90% of what a tilt rotator can do on site, but at half the cost. What's more, the rotary drive is compact and lightweight and easy to integrate into the machine and control system. We can use all existing buckets and other attachments and make them endlessly rotatable.” The fact that Ben Porteous ordered the RotoTop RT.022 for a compact excavator just two months later shows that the RotoTop concept is a winner. A short time later, some more were ordered.
As the economic situation is quite challenging for any entrepreneur at the moment, Holp wants to give some extra incentive to contractors who invest in a RotoTop this year: Anyone who orders a RotoTop from April until December, 31st, 2025 and takes out a loan for it can have the proven interest costs (up to 6 %) reimbursed for the first 12 months, no matter, when the rotary drive is delivered. Refunds can be requested directly with the manufacturer after purchase against proof at www.holp.eu/cashback-en.
