Takeuchi Expands Excavators’ Electric Line

Takeuchi has expanded its electric mini excavator line-up with two new prototype models: the ultra-compact TB10e and the heavy-duty TB35e. The TB10e is built for tight job sites, weighing just 2,600 pounds. It delivers a dig depth of 5.8 feet and a reach of 10.8 feet, with a bucket breakout force of 2,518 lb-ft. With a slew speed of 9.6 rpm and travel speeds between 1.2–2.4 mph, it provides up to two hours of working time in Standard mode and four hours in Eco mode. Its external charger supports three-phase power for rapid charging between 408V and 552V, while the onboard single-phase charger is compatible with 95V–265V systems. Full charge time is approximately three hours (external) or 4.5 hours (onboard). The TB35e, Takeuchi’s largest electric mini excavator at 8,730 pounds, targets more demanding applications. It offers a maximum dig depth of 10.5 feet, reach of 17.8 feet, and bucket breakout force of 6,092 lb-ft. The TB35e runs for up to four hours in Eco mode and recharges in four hours with a 400V 3-phase charger, or seven hours using the onboard version. It also supports auxiliary flows of up to 17 gallons per minute, making it compatible with a wide range of attachments. These additions reinforce Takeuchi’s commitment to electrifying construction machinery without compromising performance.
