Takeuchi’s TB395W wheeled excavator rolls into the North American market

ATLANTA, Georgia – Takeuchi US has added a wheeled model, the TB395W, to its North American excavator product line.

“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 excavator weighs 23,424 pounds 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 and up to 339 ft-lbs. of torque. A closed-loop, load-sensing hydraulic system delivers smooth control of the work equipment and a wide range of hydraulic attachments.

The TB395W features two steering modes — 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. This design allows TB395W operators to pull the bucket all the way back to the dozer blade, which is ideal when working in narrow spaces or moving an obstacle out of the way. An Auto Cruise feature enables operators to set and adjust their travel speeds with a toggle switch. Auto Cruise is also ideal when using attachments that require a consistent, repeatable travel speed, such as a mulcher, mower or trencher.

The excavator has a 13-foot 5.2-inch digging depth and a 27-foot cutting height. The TB395W 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.

Takeuchi outfitted the TB395W with a newly redesigned interior. The cab features an easy-to-read, multifunction, 8-inch colour touchscreen monitors with integrated air conditioning and DAB radio functions. Using the machine’s intuitive jog dial, operators can easily navigate and control the TB395W’s monitor, including its HVAC and DAB radio functions. The TB395W includes a standard 270-degree camera to provide operators with a birds-eye view for greater safety throughout the jobsite.

Simple, one-touch control switches operate other machine functions, such as work lights, Standard and ECO working modes, primary auxiliary ent, low- and high-speed gear box, swing boom/second boom select, differential lock, manual regen/regen inhibit and lift overload alarm. A deluxe, high-back, air-ride suspension seat, adjustable arm rests, low-effort pilot controls, large flat floor area and integrated footrests help operators remain comfortable and productive throughout the workday.

Takeuchi’s Fleet Management (TFM) telematics system comes standard on the TB395W. TFM provides owner/operators with machine health and condition, run time (hours) and machine location, as well as remote diagnostics, scheduled maintenance reminders and customizable alert settings. TFM also gives owners the ability to geofence their machines, helping them protect and secure their investments.
