The new Takeuchi TB370W is described as a powerful compact 7.5 tonne wheeled excavator and versatile tool carrier designed for maximum productivity on busy construction sites.

Its offset two-piece boom delivers an increased working range and added in-field lifting capacity, complete with lift overload alarm and arm, swing and boom holding check valves, all as standard.

The load sensing hydraulic system supplies up to four auxiliary ports with hi-flow and proportional control, with optional multi-function grip allowing the operator to assign buttons to frequently used functions.

It has four-wheel-drive and four-speed transmission with three different work modes – Standard, Eco and Eco Plus. Eco Plus switches between Standard and Eco depending on load. Operators can also switch to cruise control for consistent travel speed while simultaneously operating attachments.

The undercarriage comes with mudguards, switchable difflock and intelligent auto digging brake. Outriggers are an optional extra.

The cab has touchscreen and jog dial technology for every function, while three auto cameras and LED lighting all-round aid visibility of potential hazards.

The Takeuchi tilt-up cab provides ground-level access to all service and component parts. The TB370W is supported by a five-year telematics subscription to Takeuchi Fleet Management (TFM).

Takeuchi now gives a three-year/ 3000-hour warranty across the range.
