Takeuchi has added TBR50R short tail swing compact excavator to its TB300 Series excavator product line.
This is the first short tail swing model in the manufacturer's five-ton class.
“Takeuchi continues to design and build excavators that deliver a unique combination of performance, durability, operator comfort and serviceability,” said David Caldwell, national product manager for Takeuchi-U.S. “As a result, our new TB350R offers many improvements that demonstrate our commitment to providing customers with advanced technology that helps them be more comfortable and productive.”
Takeuchi’s TB350Rhas a rear swing overhang of just 2.95 inches, allowing operators to focus more on their work and worry less about rear-swing impacts. For greater comfort, the excavator features a deluxe, high-back, six-way-adjustable suspension seat, adjustable arm rests, low-effort pilot controls, large flat floor area and integrated footrests. The TB350’s canopy configuration includes a 4.3-inch high-definition, multifunction color monitor, while the cab model has an easy-to-view, 7-inch touchscreen, multifunction color monitor with integrated air conditioner and radio functions. An intuitive jog dial on the cab model provides operators with easy navigation and control of the multifunction monitor and other machine functions at their fingertips. Machine maintenance and service work are more likely to be done correctly and at the right intervals when they’re easy to perform. That’s why Takeuchi designed the TB350R with a wide-opening rear engine service door and a right-side cover that opens overhead for quick access to key daily inspection points. Takeuchi’s Fleet Management (TFM) telematics system comes standard on the TB350R. TFM reduces downtime and controls costs by providing owner/operators with machine health and condition, run time (hours) and machine location, as well as remote diagnostics, scheduled maintenance reminders and customizable alert settings.
