The all-new Takeuchi TB230 and TB240 compact excavators share the same design philosophy as the recently introduced TB260 — designed to deliver increased performance, greater working range, improved operator comfort, and improved serviceability.
These new models feature EPA Final Tier 4 compliant engines, greater hydraulic performance, advanced multi-function electronic displays as well as spacious operator stations with precision pilot controls, improved visibility and deluxe suspension seats.
TB230
With an operating weight of 6,607 pounds, and a bucket breakout force of 6,471 pounds, the TB230 is characterized by its sleek exterior, redesigned to offer better visibility and improved service access. The operator’s station includes a multi-function monitor, function switches, electronic throttle control and precision pilot controls with a proportional slide switch to control auxiliary hydraulic functions.
The TB230 features a 24.4 HP Final Tier 4 computer-controlled Yanmar engine.
TB240
With an operating weight of 8,289 pounds, the new TB240 compact excavator delivers 9,959 pounds of bucket digging force — nearly fifteen percent more than the previous TB235. The Tier 4 computer-controlled Yanmar engine provides more than 35 gross horsepower, an increase of more than 20%, and features new working modes -- Eco and Power -- for greater performance.
Featuring precision pilot controls, the machine has been upgraded to include adjustable auxiliary flow settings, allowing for multiple attachments. The TB240 features a reinforced boom with large gusset reinforcements for improved strength and durability. The body has been redesigned to allow for ground-level panoramic serviceability, eliminating the need for a tilting operator station.
