Takeuchi rolls out its latest Tracked Dumper Upgrade
Takeuchi is renowned for the reliability of its mini excavators across the world and the same can be said of its tracked dumper offering although it often lives in the shadows of the excavator range.
Replacing the outgoing TCR50 model, the Japanese manufacturer has recently launched into the UK market, the second generation model the new 6.5-tonne TCR50-2 tracked dumper.
According to Takeuchi, the TCR50-2 which is powered by a 4-cylinder 88.4kw, Stage 5 emissions compliant, Yanmar turbocharged engine, offers stability, power performance and 3,700kg payload. With a skip tip 180 degrees, with both left and right tip function the TCR provides plenty of versatility on site. The side-tip capability limits the need to continually reposition the machine on site. With an ample 65-degree dump angle and 3,700kg maximum loading weight, operators’ always get maximum discharge with just a single operation. Skip tipping function while the foot throttle allows more economic and intuitive operation for engine speed.
The large roomy comfortable all-day cab, which will be very familiar with Takeuchi excavator operators, gives impressive all-round visibility, supported by the intuitive 5.7-inch colour multi-informational display with standard camera view function. The cab features an adjustable suspension seat, powerful air conditioner, radio with USB support and large cup holder for superior operator comfort and less fatigue.
Servicing on site is always essential to maintaining performance, so daily and routine servicing is made easy with the wide opening maintenance cover providing exceptional access to engine and routine inspection points. Standard fuel transfer pump enables operator to refill the tank with fuel more easily and quickly.
I have been unable to find an English speaking video for this new model, but the guys over at Takeuchi Italia have produced this version, just turn down the volume and enjoy the footage!
