Takeuchihas added two compact wheel loaders to their lineup with the introduction of the TW65 SERIES 2 and TW80 SERIES 2. Equipped with EPA Final Tier 4 engines, the new wheel loaders deliver increased performance, improved serviceability, and an enhanced deluxe operator’s cabin for superior operator comfort. The compact design allows these loaders to easily maneuver in tight spaces with minimal damage to lawns, pavement, and other sensitive surface areas.
The two loaders provide reach and dump heights up to 8’ 6” for trouble-free material handling. The TW65 SERIES 2 features an operating weight of 11,354 pounds, rated operating capacity of 4,050 pounds, tipping load of 9,171 pounds, and a bucket breakout force of 11,600 pounds. With an operating weight of 12,700 pounds, the TW80 SERIES 2 has a rated operating capacity of 4,445 pounds, tipping load of 12,700 pounds and a bucket breakout force of 13,960 pounds.
Delivering power and precise control, both loaders are equipped with a turbocharged, water-cooled Deutz engine. Operating with a maximum torque of 192 ft-lb at 1,800 rpm, the engine delivers 73 horsepower with a rated engine speed of 2,200 rpm. The standard travel speed has a high range of 12.4 mph but both machines are available with a high-speed road gear option that delivers a maximum speed of 24.8 mph. The high-speed road gear system also includes a ride control accumulator to help maintain machine control at higher travel speeds. Other features include a new multi-function, pilot operated joystick control that not only controls all loader and travel functions, it now includes a thumb wheel to control auxiliary hydraulics. For additional attachment versatility, an optional high-flow auxiliary system is available that delivers up to 26 gallons per minute to power the attachment.
“The new Takeuchi models represent some of the most advanced loaders available in the marketplace, and operators will notice a big difference, not only in performance, but also in the comfort of the cab,” said David Steger, National Product and Training Manager of Takeuchi US. “We are very excited about the release of these loaders and know that these machines will get the job done, while delivering outstanding performance, serviceability and value.”
