History
editRototilt Group AB is a spin-out from Indexator, a family company purchased in 1973 by Allan Jonsson, who 10 years previously had founded crane manufacturer Cranab. The focus on tiltrotators began during Jonsson’s time. In 1992 he gained access to the tiltrotator product and the brand of Rototilt – developed by Noreco founded in the 1980s by the Norgren brothers – through acquisition of the bankrupt family company Noreco in Umeå. [1] Rototilt is a tiltrotator that makes excavation, rotation and tilting by the bucket (or other tool intended for excavators) possible in one single movement.
