Takeuchi-US, an innovative global leader in compact equipment, has introduced two new track loaders to the market with the TL10V2 and TL12R2. Both track loaders are US EPA Final Tier 4 emission compliant and come standard with Takeuchi’s new telematics system, Takeuchi Fleet Management.

TL10V2 Track Loader
The TL10V2 is the second vertical lift track loader in the Takeuchi lineup, joining the larger TL12V2. The vertical lift arrangement delivers a 5 percent greater operating capacity over the TL10 radial. It also provides increased lift height and greater balance. At 4,585 kg, the TL10V2 features a tipping load of 3,268 kg, bucket breakout force of 2,960 kg, and lift arm breakout force of 2,450 kg. Additionally, it has a maximum hinge pin height of 3,169 mm, dump height fully raised of 2,435 mm and dump reach of 950 mm.

The TL10V2 is powered by a Kubota 3.3 liter diesel engine that produces 74.3 HP (55.4 kW), 265 Nm of torque, and features a DOC+DPF diesel exhaust after-treatment system. Active Power Control (APC) is standard equipment and it allows the machine to automatically maintain engine power and keeps the engine within its optimal performance range. This feature is unique and can be turned on or off dependent on the operator’s experience with Takeuchi controls.

A fully redesigned operator’s station provides greater comfort and functionality. A new 5.7-inch color multi-informational display keeps the operator informed, while the precision pilot controls deliver unmatched responsiveness, performance, and comfort. The quiet track design reduces noise and vibration and the tread design provides maximum flotation. Central filter locations, easy access battery compartment, and high capacity swing out cooling module improve serviceability.

TL12R2 Track Loader
The TL12R2 radial replaces the TL12 and features an operating weight of 5,640 kg. It delivers over 6.5% more operating capacity, and has a tipping load of 3,915 kg. The machine features a bucket breakout force of 3,722 kg, has a maximum hinge pin height of 3,200 mm, a dump height of 2,400 mm, and dump reach of 960 mm.
The TL12R2 is powered by a Kubota 3.8 liter diesel engine that produces 111.3 HP (83.0 kW) and 374 Nm of torque. It also has a DOC+DPF+SCR diesel exhaust after-treatment system that requires the use of diesel exhaust fluid or DEF.

Similar to the TL12V2, the TL12R2’s operator station has been redesigned and is 3 inches wider than the TL12 for greater comfort and accessibility. The 5.7-inch color multi-information display is also featured on the TL12R2. Similar to the TL10V2, the overhead door is quieter, easier to use, and can be opened or closed during machine operation. A quiet track design reduces noise while operating, and a wide block tread design provides maximum flotation. Serviceability is improved with central filter locations, an added battery access compartment, and swing out cooling module.
