Takeuchi goes back to the future with 7-tonner

TAKEUCHI has tipped its new 7-tonne TB370 to be a big hit with plant firms and contractors.

The manufacturer highlighted the popularity of the firm’s old 7-tonne TB175, which was a feature on construction sites for many years.

The new TB370 is described as having a ‘stylish roomy cab’ and weighs 7,042kg. Features include all-round LED lighting, floating dozer blade, colour VDU, auto fuel pump, lifting check valves, hydraulic hitch pipework and adjustable auxiliary flows.

Takeuchi’s tilt-up cab also makes a comeback to offer ‘maximum service access’. The TB370 has a dig depth of 4,085mm, dump height of 4,545mm and ground reach as far as 6,565mm.
