TB280FR Compact Excavator
The TB280FR features a patented side-to-side (STS) offset boom combined with the tight tail swing for unmatched visibility to the work equipment and enables it to rotate fully with very little overhang. Its low center of gravity and optimized counterweight placement creates an extremely stable platform with lifting capabilities similar to that of a conventional machine.

Takeuchi TB280FR Compact Excavator Benefits
- Enhanced Versatility: STS offset boom excavators are exceptionally versatile because they can work alongside obstacles, structures, or barriers without requiring the entire machine to be repositioned. This ability is crucial for urban construction sites or areas with limited space.
- Minimized Repositioning: By offsetting the boom, operators can significantly reduce the need to reposition the entire machine when working near obstacles. This leads to increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and improved overall productivity.
- Improved Accessibility: These excavators can access areas that might be challenging to reach with standard excavators. The offset boom allows for work in tight spots without compromising machine stability.
- Precision Work: The offset boom design provides greater accuracy for tasks that require careful bucket placement or attachment operation, such as trenching, digging, and grading near structures.
- Reduced Ground Disturbance: The offset boom allows operators to reach over existing terrain or structures, minimizing ground disturbance and avoiding unnecessary adjustments to the work area.
- Optimized Visibility: Operators maintain better visibility of the work area when the boom is offset to the side, enabling more precise operation and safer maneuvering.
- Safety and Collision Prevention: The offset boom reduces the risk of collisions between the boom and obstacles like walls, barriers, or other structures. This contributes to a safer work environment.
- Operator Comfort: The ergonomic design of the operator cabin, combined with the flexibility of the offset boom, can lead to a more comfortable and productive work experience.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Because repositioning is minimized and less ground disturbance is required, STS offset boom excavators can have a lower environmental impact, especially in sensitive areas.
- Cost Efficiency: The increased efficiency and reduced repositioning can translate to cost savings in terms of fuel consumption, labor hours, and machine wear and tear.
- Unique Applications: STS offset boom excavators are particularly well-suited for tasks such as excavating along walls, foundations, or structures, where precision and maneuverability are critical.
- Worksite Adaptability: The flexibility of the offset boom design allows for better adaptation to various job site conditions, helping operators work more efficiently.
