Where the TB280FR Fits
The TB280FR is a nine-ton class excavator with Takeuchi's side-to-side offset boom and a tight tail swing. Takeuchi states that with the boom stowed upright the upper structure rotates nearly within the width of the tracks, so the machine can work beside walls, barriers, and traffic.
It weighs about 18,810 lbs on rubber tracks or 19,240 lbs on steel, with 69.2 HP, 14 ft 11 in of dig depth, and 23 ft 7.2 in of reach. It has three auxiliary circuits with 39 gpm on the primary, more than any other Takeuchi excavator under ten tons.
