Swing gearbox is installed in the excavator's upper structure and is connected to the hydraulic motor through hoses. When the operator engages the swing function, the hydraulic motor rotates the swing gearbox, which in turn rotates the excavator's slewing ring. The slewing ring is mounted on the excavator's lower structure and supports the upper structure's weight while allowing it to rotate.
