TS80: Newest, Largest Skid Steer in Takeuchi Line
Takeuchi's new TS80 skid steer loaders are available in both radial and vertical loader arrangements and the largest models in the Takeuchi skid steer line. The new skid steers feature a 74 hp Final Tier 4 Deutz delivering 192 ft. lb. of torque at 1,800 rpm and use maintenance-free Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) that does not require regeneration, cleaning, or DEF.
The TS80R2 features an operating weight of 7,950 lbs. and a rated operating capacity of 2,825 lbs. The bucket breakout force is 5,845 lbs., with a lift arm force of 7,080 lbs. and a maximum hinge pin height of 10 ft. 5 in.
The TS80V2 is heavier than its radial counterpart with an operating weight of 8,965 lbs. and a rated operating capacity of 3,500 lbs. Bucket breakout force is 5,920 lbs., with a lift arm force of 6,200 lbs, and a maximum hinge pin height of 10 ft. 10 in.
Comfortable to operate, the TS80 skid steers feature a functional and well-equipped operator’s station that now includes a lower threshold for easier entry and exit for the operator. Several new options are now available and include ride control, bucket positioning, and high-flow auxiliary hydraulics to increase both productivity and versatility.
“We are very excited and proud to introduce the new TS80 skid steers to the market because of the machines' excellent operating capacity and hydraulic performance — the features that make them so powerful and reliable out on the jobsite,” said David Steger, product manager at Takeuchi-US. “Uptime has been improved with these machines, and daily maintenance points like fluid level checks and greasing access have been improved and simplified as well. These are great machines that will not only meet the operator’s needs, but surpass them.”
