Thwaites 6 Tonne Power Swivel

The Thwaites 6 tonne, Stage V dumpers are manufactured with contractors and hirers in mind – ensuring operator safety, reducing risk on site and improving performance. Powered by a 3.3L Yanmar turbo diesel engine fitted with a DPF to comply with EU stage V emission regulations. With 55.4kW, 405 Nm max torque and no AdBlue, these machines are available in a range of configurations to suit your needs:

  • Power Swivel
  • Front Tip
  • ROPS+ on all non-cabbed machines
  • Fully Cabbed Level 2 FOPS
  • Hydrostatic Transmission

Additional equipment fitted to individual 2025 models varies but may include a Spring Activated Hydraulic Release (SAHR) Handbrake, inclinometer, front and rear cameras, with a 5” screen mounted in a new dashboard, hi-vis steps, LED road lights and twin LED beacons.

ROPS+ is an extension of the Roll Over Protection System (ROPS). Made from the same high-tensile steel, the wrap-around design places the operator in the optimum position to minimise risk, should a machine roll over occur.

Safe, compliant and competitive.
