Takeuchi-US added the TB395W, a new wheeled excavator model, to its product line in North America. The new model provides a versatile option combining excavating performance with on-road capabilities.
“Wheeled excavators have become increasingly common in Europe over the years, and they’re gaining popularity in other regions as well,” said Lee Padgett, product manager for Takeuchi. “That’s one reason we’re introducing the TB395W to North America. It’s a high-performing excavator 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.”
The TB395W weighs 23,424 lbs. when equipped with outriggers and a blade. It’s powered by a Tier 4 Final-compliant diesel engine delivering 114 hp at 2,200 rpm.
The new unit features 2WS (two-wheel steering) and 4WSC (four-wheel with crab steering). A two-piece boom with long arm allows for greater clearance between the bucket and dozer blade due to arm-mount position. The design allows operators to pull the bucket all the way back to the dozer blade. Additionally, the auto cruise feature enables operators to set and adjust their travel speeds with a toggle switch.
The excavator’s digging depth is 13 feet 5.2 inches. It offers a maximum bucket breakout force of 13,241 lbs., a maximum arm digging force of 8,925 lbs. and a traction force of 12,994 lbs.
The cab includes multifunctional, 8-inch color touchscreen monitors with integrated air conditioning. The machine’s jog dial allows operators to navigate and control the product’s monitor, including its HVAC and DAB radio functions. The standard 270-degree camera provides operators with a bird’s-eye view.
One-touch control switches operate other machine functions such as work lights, standard and ECO working modes, primary auxiliary detent, manual regen and regen inhibit, low and high-speed gear box, swing boom and second boom select, differential lock and lift overload alarm. Takeuchi’s Fleet Management (TFM) telematics system is standard on the TB395W, reducing downtime and control costs.
“We know from experience that machine owners are more likely to properly service and maintain their machines at the correct intervals when those tasks are simpler to perform,” Padgett said. “That’s why the TB395W’s design ensures easy access to key daily inspection points like the engine oil dipstick, engine oil filter, engine oil fill and more.”
