Takeuchi Compact Wheel Loaders Summarized — 2019 Spec Guide
Five Loaders Designed to Deliver Power and Control
Takeuchi manufacturing began in 1963 and has been a pioneer in the compact equipment industry ever since. Takeuchi developed one of the world’s first compact excavators in 1970, and the company’s innovation continued again in the mid-‘80s with the introduction of one of the first compact track loaders. Today, Takeuchi is a world leader in the manufacture and service of compact construction equipment, including track loaders, wheel loaders, conventional excavators and zero tail swing excavators.
According to Takeuchi, its compact wheel loaders are designed and engineered to be powerful, efficient and durable, providing a high level of quality and performance. Takeuchi says its products are the result of extensive research, testing and refinement and feature a standard two-year, 2,000-hour full machine warranty. The Takeuchi machines feature a compact design that allows them to easily maneuver in tight spaces with minimal damage to lawns, pavement or other sensitive surfaces. They provide reach and dump height for material handling, and the spacious operator’s station is elevated giving the operator greater visibility and jobsite awareness.
These compact wheel loaders deliver power and precise control for increased productivity and lower operational and maintenance costs, which make them a great alternative to skid steer loaders. These machines are ideal for loading mulch and sod, removing snow, feeding hoppers or sorting and stockpiling material. The available road gear allows the TW65, TW80 and TW95 to travel speeds up to 25 mph, and the available high-flow hydraulics provides greater attachment versatility.
The cabs on the Takeuchi wheel loaders are spacious and provide comfort, including air conditioning and heat, adjustable armrests and controller positions, as well as convenient storage compartments for the operator. The automotive-styled interior design also features a frameless door for enhanced visibility, easy-to-operate function switches, an inching pedal for precise machine control and precision pilot controls.
Currently through the factory, Takeuchi offers several general-purpose construction buckets and pallet forks. Its wheel loaders do come standard with auxiliary hydraulics that can power many different attachments such as brooms, plows and snowblowers that can be sourced through its dealer network.
Advice to Buyers
“Compact wheel loaders are versatile machines and can produce a great ROI,” says Keith Kramlich, national service and warranty manager at Takeuchi-US. “They are usually breakdown free if maintained properly. Most failures that occur could have been avoided with proper maintenance. Having a good understanding of proper operating and maintenance practices will play a key role in keeping a compact wheel loader in peak operating condition for many years to come.”
