Welcome to 2012 ARA american rental association show down in New Orleans my
name is Dale Keller I travel the Northeast for Takeuchi now we're going to go
through our track loader today discussing feature benefits some of the things that
we do better than our competitors some unique things that we do so welcome
starting with the TL230 the thing we're gonna be talking about today the feature
and benefits are common throughout the Takeuchi line we currently offer three
models TL230 TL240 and TL250 I think one of the most important things
is that Takeuchi the innovator of the track loader introduced in 2002 and by
building this machine from the ground up we're able to have a wider loader frame
since we don't have to build around tires as some of our competitors do with
their track or with their skid loader frames in a bolt on aftermarket
undercarriage this allows us to have a overall more compact machine a narrower
machine and more durable machine the stresses on the loader arms are pushed
straight up in the loader frame the loader tower and this gives us more
durability less stress less flexing of the mainframe also notice the wide entry to
the cab by spreading our loader arms out wider we get a larger access egress from
the cab more operator comfort more room and more operator comfortability up
front you'll notice very heavy gusseted very stout crossmember added strength
added durability also the wrapping on the hoses here to present prevent
chafing longer term durability less wear less issues in that area very well
protected on the tilt cylinders takeuchi in each class runs the highest combined
loader and lift arm breakout forces in the industry you couple this with double
planetary Drive reduction systems and you have power to get to work them coming
to the undercarriage to where our money is made designed and built by takeuchi
from the ground up we have the most durable undercarriage in the industry we
do this through larger diameter components larger bearing surfaces
welded through frame design very nice pitch for clean out of service
access another industry first for us will I want doing it today is steel
rollers making contact with steel mandrels this gives us durability
prevents chunking on the top side of the track added durability added strength on
the drive motor in the rear here you'll notice most of the competitors have the
drive motor move forward by having our drive motor in the back position we get
more contact and more reps this gives us less stress and less we're on the track
more durability more life also the drive motor is a double planetary reduction
drive unit this gives us more torque more pushing power couple that with the
breakout force we get production on the Takeuchi track loaders one thing that
you know is our arm our lift arm system is a radial arm design this gives us
better grading excavating capabilities than some of the vertical lift machines
that are out there what we do we enabled you have excellent reach characteristics
while giving you the strength and durability of a radial arm design are
also you know the towers a lot of strength lot of durability extra
gusseting in our main wear points where the machine's going to take the abuse
from the loader arms from the excavating coming around the machine if you need
increased operating capacity counterweight kits are available the
mounts are right on the machine ready to go excellent recess of our lighting very
well protected very nice large rear window access so your visibility is
improved it's a safety issue and it's an operating issue you need to see
what's around you to be a productive operator
swing out door for service accessibility two bolts here our side-by-side cooler
will swing out for better service accessibility very well thought out very
good on our daily maintenance points we talked about the the stoutness the
strength of the machine pay attention the size of the hinges on the door the
gauge of the steel on the door very nice openings here but very well protected so
debris strikes from the bottom it will break it off before it enters your
cooler open the rear door swing out access your hydraulic pulling components
two bolts here we can go ahead and swing our rate our cooler cooling package out
good access to all our daily service needs one of the nice things on the
service side of the Takeuchi product with weather loader arms are
either in the raised position or in the lowered position we can tilt our cab to
have access to our main hydraulic components some additional filters
that's achieved by removing four bolts in the front of the cab
now we have access to all the main hydraulic components the front side of
the engine fuel filter oil filter charge filter main control valve everything
very simple very accessible very straightforward brings us to operator
comfort we talked about the wider loader arm the built from the ground up
undercarriage what that allows us to do is have a wider cab the comfort and
the size of our cabs are second to none easy entrance grab handles plenty of
room for even the largest operator very comfortable one thing that we do have
that features you see now I'm in a low seating position 6-way adjustable seat
just by raising the seat two positions I'm in a much better position to see my
cutting edge and much much more comfort and on top of my controls with our low
pressure pilot controls the responsiveness of this machine is second
to none there's no electrical systems in here whatsoever no electric over
hydraulic it's true pilot so the machinery response
instantaneously to the operators input very smooth very durable also featured
in the cab is our roll up overhead door there's no clearance issues with any
attachment loader arms in any position the cab door can be opened or closed
nice day nice operating day door stores overhead you have a clear environment to
work with cab heat and air conditioning standard on the cab units as well as
hydraulic quick attach two speed travel shift on the fly as standard as well
nice high back suspension seat all about comfort all about you more comfort more
