Takeuchi-US, an innovative global leader in compact equipment, launched in November 2016 the TB2150 hydraulic excavator to the market. Completely redesigned from the ground up, the TB2150 replaces the Takeuchi TB1140 SERIES 2 excavator. The TB2150 is the largest, most capable excavator in the Takeuchi lineup. At 15,640 kg, the machine delivers greater functionality, performance, comfort, and serviceability over the previous TB1140 SERIES 2 model.

The TB2150 offers a maximum digging depth of 5,475 mm, maximum dump height of 6,220 mm, maximum reach of 8,760 mm and maximum bucket breakout force of 10,065 kg. Powered by a Deutz TCD 3.6 liter turbocharged diesel engine that is US EPA Final Tier 4 emission compliant, the TB2150 produces 114 horsepower (85 kW), a 10 percent increase over the previous version, and delivers 460 Nm of torque, a 19 percent increase. The engine utilizes a DOC+SCR diesel exhaust after-treatment system that requires the use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).

The operator’s station has been completely revamped with an automotive styled interior that is operator friendly. A spacious cabin features a heated deluxe high back air suspension seat, and the new color multi-information display keeps the operator informed of machine performance. In addition, the excavator includes boom and arm holding valves, an overload alarm, and a new rear view camera to view objects behind the machine on the color monitor.

Serviceability and uptime have been improved by simplifying access to key maintenance items. This includes a nearly 5 percent increase in fuel tank capacity and the engine does not have a DPF to maintain. In addition, the machine comes standard with Takeuchi’s new telematics system, Takeuchi Fleet Management.
