Zero-swing excavator
Takeuchi introduces the
TB138FR zero-swing excavator to its line of excavators. This model
features a patented side-to-side offset boom system combined with a
zero-tail swing that allows the machine to turn 360 degrees. A low
center of gravity offers the stability and craning capabilities of
conventional excavators and the added functionality of working in
confined areas. A tilt-up operator's platform combined with a
full-opening engine compartment offers quick access for service and
maintenance. An electrohydraulic push-button and proportional slide
switch located in the left-hand joystick ensures precise control of the
auxiliary hydraulic circuit.

Engines
Komatsu America is
gradually introducing its Tier 3 engines, which will reduce nitrogen
oxides and particulate matter emissions while improving fuel efficiency.
The new engines incorporate improvements to the combustion chambers for
better air/fuel mixing and optimal combustion. These designs set the
stage for compliance with future Tier 4 regulations. This technology
allows the small-size engines to be compliant without adding further
systems. For the mid-size engines, Komatsu applies the heavy-duty cooled
Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, which reduces NOx emissions without
sacrificing fuel economy, the company says. The high-capacity,
heavy-duty twin-valve cooled EGR system features intake air bypass for
high-load and wider speed usage, precision electronic-controlled
hydraulic twin valves and a durable EGR cooler for operation in rough
environments.
