Takeuchi-US has expanded its product offering in North America with a new line of skid steer loaders. These skid steer loaders range in operating weight from 6,500 to 8,600 lbs. (2,948 to 3,901 kg), and have a rated operating capacity ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 lbs. (680 to 1,361 kg).

Powerful, compact, and highly maneuverable, the new TS Series skid steer loaders provide a blend of power, performance, durability and operator comfort. All models come equipped with a powerful and efficient diesel engine that provides power to spare in the most demanding applications. Radial and vertical lift path options are available and allow the customer to choose the configuration that best suits their needs. The TS Series skid steer loaders also are available with an optional two-speed transmission, providing travel speeds up to 12 mph (19 kmh) for greater productivity.

The Takeuchi TS Series skid steer loaders provide a spacious operator’s station and feature low effort pilot controlled joysticks that are responsive and easy to operate. These machines also include a standard foot throttle that allows the operator to set or change the engine speed without taking their hands off of the controls.

Cleaning and maintenance is made simple with the tilt-up operator’s station and swing out cooling module. The oversized axle pods with specially designed mechanical faced seals provide protection from dirt and debris, reducing costly downtime, according to the manufacturer.

Standard features include: pilot operated joystick controls, boom float with detent, mechanical attachment coupler, pressure releasing hydraulic quick connects, one piece main frame, front and rear work lights, 12 volt outlet, top view window, rear window, and back-up alarm. Available options include: pressurized cab, heat, air conditioning, AM/FM/MP3/Weather Band radio, hydraulic quick attach, block heater and several attachments including over-the-tire tracks.

“Takeuchi is dedicated to meeting the changing needs of today’s contractor, and we are proud to provide compact equipment that meets their demands,” said Clay Eubanks, president of Takeuchi-US. “We truly listen to the needs of our customers, and pride ourselves in our ability to take that customer feedback and channel it into our products.”

The TS Series also offers a full range of high-performance attachments for a variety of applications, like snow removal, trenching, lifting and compaction.
