Thwaites 2.3t Power Swivel: Compact Performance for Restricted Work Areas
Built for Demanding Construction and Landscape Applications
In the competitive landscape of compact construction plant machinery, the Thwaites 2.3 Tonne Power Swivel Dumper is engineered to deliver outstanding performance, safety and manoeuvrability in challenging site conditions. Part of the wider Thwaites product range in the UK, this versatile swivel dumper is built with contractors and hirers in mind, helping to reduce risk on site while maintaining the durability and residual values expected from a leading manufacturer. Designed for easy transport between projects and efficient operation on busy jobsites, the Thwaites 2.3 tonne is exclusively available as a Power Swivel model, making it ideal for restricted work areas.
At the heart of this reliable Thwaites dumper is a Stage V compliant, water-cooled 3-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. Delivering 18.1 kW (24.3 bhp) and 107 Nm max torque for optimum traction and control, it provides the power needed for hauling materials across demanding terrain. Paired with a hydrostatic transmission, durable gearbox and heavy-duty axle, the machine offers smooth, efficient operation and travel speeds of up to 15 km/h. A manual transmission option is also available elsewhere within the Thwaites range, providing flexibility for different operator preferences.
Thwaites 2.3 Power Swivel Dumper Key Features
Unmatched Manoeuvrability in Tight Spaces
Unmatched Manoeuvrability in Tight Spaces
The defining feature of the Thwaites 2.3t Power Swivel is its hydraulically operated 180° swivel skip, allowing loads to be discharged precisely where required without repositioning the machine. With 90° rotation to both the left and right, operators can work more efficiently in confined areas while reducing unnecessary machine movements. Combined with a compact footprint, durable tyre configuration and a turning circle of just 7.5m, this swivel dumper excels where site access is limited.
