What we need to identify your swing motor
The machine make, model and serial number, and a clear photograph of the tag plate on the unit. Our hydraulics team confirms the correct swing motor before it is quoted.
Swing motor or slew motor?
The same part. The hydraulic motor that turns the upper structure of the excavator is called the swing motor or the slew motor, and the gearbox beneath it is the swing reducer or slew gearbox. Whichever term you use, the make, model and serial number identify it.

Swing Motors by Machine Make

Select a make to see every swing motor and swing reducer we list for it, by model. Each page can be filtered by machine model. If your make is not shown, send us the model and serial number: the range reaches wider than this list.

How to Identify a Swing Motor

The tag plate does most of the work. Send what you can and we confirm the rest before quoting.
