Takeuchi’s TB20e Electric Compact Excavator, Shown at ARA, Can Operate While Tethered

March 1, 2024
An onboard charger can charge the machine at the end of the workday and also extend uptime by allowing the TB20e to operate while tethered.

The TB20e is Takeuchi’s first designed-and-built, battery-powered compact excavator that doesn’t sacrifice power or performance. When fully charged, the TB20e offers a continuous working time ranging from four hours to eight hours, depending on the application and environment. An onboard charger can charge the machine at the end of the workday and also extend uptime by allowing the TB20e to operate while tethered. 

The excavator has an operating weight of 4,255 pounds, a bucket capacity of 1.34 cubic feet and a primary auxiliary flow of 9.0 gpm. Maximum reach is 13 feet, 4 inches and maximum digging depth is 7 feet, 10.1 inches. The TB20e also features a spacious and comfortable operator’s station with a completely new high-definition, multi-informational color display. 

Zero exhaust emissions and reduced noise/vibration levels make the TB20e an environmentally friendly, sustainable choice when working or around residential neighborhoods, municipalities, schools and hospitals. For more information, visit www.takeuchi-us.com.
