The pyramidal structure of the RKD central pivot is built up with galvanized-steel angular profiles and the bolts are anchored to a square reinforced concrete platform. Both of these result in the RKD pivot’s having a remarkable sturdiness and stability which allow it to handle the turning movements of the machine.
The pivot is water-fed through a vertical inlet pipe and elbow, both made of galvanized steel of 8 5/8” (219mm) diameter, except model 450, which has a vertical pipe of 5 1/2” (139.7 mm) diameter.
It contains a 13-way external electrical collector ring and an access ladder.
The standard height of this pivot is 4,22 m from the base to the centre of the elbow, and can be bigger in particular crops such as sugar cane, etc.
