Construction machinery maker, Takeuchi has launched a wheeled model, the TB395W, to its growing excavator product line.
The TB395W excavator provides owner/operators with a highly versatile option that combines powerful excavating performance with on-road capabilities, making it ideal for shorter-term, faster-paced projects, the company wrote in a statement.
According to the company, the new TB395W excavators features two four-wheel steering modes — 4WS (all-wheel steering) and 4WSC (crab steering).
A wide range, longer stick arm of the excavator allows for greater clearance between the bucket and dozer blade due to arm mount position.
As a result, operators of the TB395W can pull the bucket all the way to the dozer blade, which is ideal when working in narrow spaces or moving an obstacle out of the way.
Auto Cruise enables operators to set and adjust their travel speeds by pressing a button or operating a toggle switch. Auto Cruise is ideal for attachments that require a consistent, repeatable travel speed, such as a mulcher, mower or trencher.
Commenting on the development, Clay Eubanks, Director of Global Sales of Takeuchi said, “Wheeled excavators have become increasingly common in Europe over the years, and they’re gaining popularity in other regions as well. With the new TB395W, we’re providing our customers with a larger, high-performing machine that provides all the unique benefits of a wheeled unit, including higher travel speeds and the ability to handle both on- and off-road applications.”
Takeuchi outfitted the TB395W with a newly redesigned interior to improve the operator experience. The cab features an easy-to-read 8-inches touchscreen, multifunction color monitor with integrated air conditioning and DAB radio functions.
A deluxe, high-back, air-ride suspension seat, adjustable arm rests, low-effort pilot controls, large flat floor area and integrated footrests help operators remain comfortable and productive throughout the workday. Using the machine’s intuitive jog dial, operators can easily navigate and control the TB395W’s monitor, including its HVAC and DAB radio functions.
Simple, one-touch control switches operate other machine functions, such as work lights, Standard and ECO working modes, Service Port 1 detent, low- and high-speed gear box, swing boom/second boom select, differential lock, manual regen/regen inhibit and lift overload alarm.
