Excavator features side-to- side offset boom
The TB138FR excavator from Takeuchi features a patented side-to-side (STS) offset boom system combined with a zero tail swing which allows the TB138FR to slew 360 degrees, only inches beyond the excavator’s track width. A low centre of gravity offers the stability and craning capacities of conventional excavators and the added functionality of working in exceptionally confined areas.
A tilt-up operator’s platform combined with a full opening engine compartment offers quick access for service and maintenance. An automatic fuel bleed system eliminates the downtime and service calls required to bleed conventional fuel systems. A control pattern selector valve allows for quick change of operating controls between SAE and ISO patterns to accommodate operator preferences. An electrohydraulic push-button and proportional slide switch located in the left-hand joystick, ensures precise control of the auxiliary hydraulic circuit. The TB138FR is available with open canopy or fully enclosed cab. Cabin units are standard equipped with heater, air conditioning, defroster, wiper, and retractable front window with removable lower section. Operator comfort, performance, stability and durability are incorporated. This machine complements Takeuchi’s other models of zero swing excavators and fits into the 8,000-pound class.
