Takeuchi-US updated its product offering with the introduction of the all new TS80 skid steer loaders that are available in both radial and vertical loader arrangements. The TS80 series are the largest models in the Takeuchi skid steer product line that also includes the TS50 and TS60. The large frame TS80 series loaders deliver a blend of performance, durability and operator comfort, according to the manufacturer.

The TS80 skid steer loaders feature a 74 hp Final Tier IV Deutz engine that delivers 192 ft. lb. of torque at 1,800 rpm. A key benefit of the new Deutz engine is its simple maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) that does not require regeneration, cleaning, or diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

The TS80V2 is heavier than its radial counterpart with an operating weight of 8,965 lbs. (4,066 kg) and a rated operating capacity of 3,500 lbs. (1,587 kg). Bucket breakout force on the vertical model is 5,920 lbs., with a lift arm force of 6,200 lbs, and a maximum hinge pin height of 10 ft. 10 in. (3.3 m).

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 job site,” 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.”
