​New Takeuchi TB280FR Excavator for Sale

The TB280FR features a patented side-to-side (STS) offset boom combined with the tight tail swing for unmatched visibility to the work equipment and enables it to rotate fully with very little overhang.  Its low center of gravity and optimized counterweight placement creates an extremely stable platform with  lifting capabilities similar to that of a conventional machine.

The TB280FR is a unique platform that separates itself from the competition with its unique side-to side (STS) boom configuration and full rotation (FR) capabilities. One of the greatest benefits of the STS boom is the unmatched visibility to the attachment and job site. This design also allows the boom to be stowed over center in the full upright position enabling it to make a full rotation (FR) within a very tight radius allowing it to work within similar confines as a smaller 5 ton machine for greater performance and productivity. Additional features include an updated cabin with automotive styled interior, color multi-informational display, multiple attachment presets with operator adjustable flow rates, dual auxiliary hydraulic circuits allowing the operator to run a wide range of attachments, boom holding valve, overload alarm, backfill blade with float position, and a tilt-up cab for greater serviceability.
