Sakaki-Machi, Japan (DATE TBD): Takeuchi, a world leader in compact equipment, along with German distributor Schafer, will display three new compact excavators at the bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany, October 24-30, 2022. At Takeuchi’s stand, FN1116/2, Open-Air Site, North, the recently introduced TB335R will be joined by the brand-new TB350R and TB395W models. Many other Takeuchi compact excavators and compact track loaders will also be on site, including the world’s first 360-degree compact excavator, the TB1000, which celebrated its 50^th anniversary in 2021.

“With the TB1000, Takeuchi created what has become one of the largest segments in the global construction equipment industry – the 360° compact excavator,” said Clay Eubanks, director of global sales for Takeuchi. “Over the past five decades, we’ve developed our new compact excavator models with the same innovative spirit that launched the TB1000. It seems appropriate to pay tribute to the TB1000 at bauma 2022 while introducing our newest excavators, each with technology and features we couldn’t have imagined back in the early ‘70s.”

Following are more details about the newest Takeuchi machines on display at bauma 2022:  

TB335R: The TB335R is a compact, short-tail-swing excavator with minimal overhang behind the operator’s seat, making it ideal for working in tight or confined spaces. It also provides outstanding stability rarely found in a short tail swing machine, along with smooth, intuitive controls that help operators tackle tough jobs with ease. The TB335R has an operating weight of 3,760 kgs. (8,290 lbs.), a maximum bucket breakout force of 27.1 kN (6,090 lbs.) and a maximum arm digging force of 20.6 kN (4,630 lbs.) The excavator is powered by an EU Stage V / EPA Tier 4 emission-compliant engine delivering 18.2 kW (24.4 hp) and a maximum torque of 95.8 Nm (70.6 ft-lbs). The TB335R offers two working modes –Standard and ECO – allowing operators to match the mode to the task at hand, choosing fuel savings or more power as desired. A spacious cab offers a wide range of advanced features including a 7.0-inch touchscreen, multi-function color display.  

TB350R: The TB350R is a larger version of the TB335R with an operating weight of 5,085 kgs. (11,210 lbs.) A very robust model suitable for multiple applications, the excavator is equipped with a 32.4 kW (43.4 hp) engine. The TB350R is highly mobile with a boom swing radius of 71° left and 55° right. It can dig down to 3,575 mm (11.7 ft) and has a gradeability of 30°.

TB395W: The new TB395W wheeled excavator weighs 10,150 kgs. (22,375 lbs.) with an 85 kW/113.9 HP engine. The TB395W’s powerful hydraulic system makes it especially quick with as many as 10.1 rotations per minute. Its 4,095 mm (13.4 ft) digging depth and 8530 mm (28 ft) cutting height make it particularly useful on construction sites. It also offers a maximum bucket breakout force of 58.9 kN (13,240 lbs.), a maximum arm digging force of 39.7 kN (8,925 lbs.) and a traction force of 57.8 kN (12,995 lbs.)

In addition to these new machines, the Takeuchi stand will feature 16 other excavator models and two track loaders in sizes ranging from one to 16 tons. All Takeuchi machines can be found working in multiple industries, including excavation, construction, landscaping, rental and recycling. Numerous attachments designed specifically for use with Takeuchi machines will also be on display. Product and sales experts from Takeuchi and our European sales network will be present to answer attendee questions and help determine the ideal Takeuchi machine for any application.

“I speak for all of Takeuchi when I say we’re very pleased to once again exhibit at bauma 2022,” said Toshiya Takeuchi, president of Takeuchi. “We appreciate the opportunity to introduce a global audience to our newest products at an in-person event. From the long heritage of the TB1000 to our newest excavator models, our bauma display will reflect our journey from ‘world first to world leader.’ We look forward to helping even more customers discover how Takeuchi equipment can help them improve their productivity and profitability.”

Atlanta, GA (April 26, 2022): Takeuchi-US has officially closed on the purchase of its first North American manufacturing facility. The new facility, located in Moore, South Carolina in the United States, will manufacture compact track loaders, with production expected to launch in late 2022.

Currently, Takeuchi produces all its compact track loaders at its head office factory in Sakaki, Nagano, Japan. However, more than 90 percent of this production is consumed in North America. Producing machines at the new South Carolina facility will allow Takeuchi to increase its domestic suppliers and help alleviate supply chain issues caused by recent international events.

“Investing in a manufacturing facility closer to our end users will allow Takeuchi to shorten lead times and establish a more responsive supply system for our North American customers,” said Toshiya Takeuchi, president for Takeuchi. “Because the greatest demand for our compact track loaders is in the U.S., manufacturing these machines in South Carolina will be faster and more efficient delivery for our customers. We’re very proud and excited to launch this new venture, and we know it will generate significant benefits for our company, and more importantly, our customers.”

Located off the Moore-Duncan Highway, Takeuchi’s new facility consists of three buildings – a 156,000-square-foot production facility, a 17,000 square-foot office building and a 3,200 square-foot demonstration center, all sitting on about 77 acres. Takeuchi has already started hiring employees to work at the new facility, and the company expects to generate approximately 100 new jobs there by the time production at the new plant begins.

 “Bringing some of our manufacturing to the Southeastern United States demonstrates Takeuchi’s dedication to the North American market and this region we call home,” said Jeff Stewart, president of Takeuchi-US. “This new facility will challenge us to find new and better ways to manufacture our products, create more jobs locally where our products are used and allow us to develop long relationships and better cooperation with the local economy.”
