Overview

Universal Rotor

The Universal Rotor is designed as a tool-changing implement that augments the abilities of the LifeTrac and other GVCS devices. It can be fitted with a wide array of toolheads, such as string trimmer, posthole digger, tree planting auger, slurry mixer, and many others.

Details

The Universal Rotor is a structural assembly that holds a shaft with bearings, which is attached to the LifeTrac quick attach plate, or which can be detached and used in other applications. The hydraulic motor is interchangeable, and so far, a 32 cu in and a 6 cu in motors have been used. Motors have a quick mounting plate with 2 3/4" bolts for hold-down.

The assembly can be mounted either horizontally or vertically by bolting to a back plate accordingly.

Status

The Universal Rotor is currently in the prototyping phase of product development.

Future prototype designs aim to improve structural integrity, increased ease of mounting for LifeTrac, and improved interchangeability of motors.
