Mighty movers Smaller in stature but punching well for their weight, micro and mini
construction machines are just the right size to get the job done properly. Here are a few that caught our attention.
Takeuchi Now with eighteen models between one and 15 tonnes – all Stage
V ready – Takeuchi has a comprehensive range to suit multiple applications. The recently launched 3-Series TB370 and TB325R are the latest
Takeuchi machines. With a fresh look and stylish interiors, this third generation of Takeuchi excavators will be setting the standard for the coming years, with more new models expected in 2023. The first 3-Series TB370 is a return to the seven tonne weight
class. It is a compact and powerful 42kW option for the fleet with value-added features offered as standard, such as jog-dial ergonomic interior, climate control cab, touchscreen VDU, electric refuel pump and familiar smooth hydraulics that make Takeuchi a favourite with plant operators. The TB325R was developed to meet demand for a reduced tail
Caterpillar The new Cat 906, 907 and 908 wheel loaders provide larger model
comforts in a smaller platform. The new pressurised cab improves the operator experience,
while keeping functional aspects like raised floor pedals and two doors to make cab cleaning easier. Optimum visibility is achieved with larger side mirrors, optional parabolic lens electric and heated mirrors, and front and rear camera options. New single-piece front and rear windshields offer 60% better wiper coverage. Programmable kickouts with high-definition rotary sensors
mounted to the loader arms better protect operators from unwanted shocks and vibrations due to buckets striking the ground or hitting dump stops at max height. The new Stage V C2.8 engine delivers the same 55.7kW gross
power as the previous engine, with 13% more torque. Shift-on-the- go transmission offers increased speeds of 40 km/h (25 mph), and larger fuel tank capacities of 30% for the 906 and 12% for the 907 and 908 deliver extended work cycles.

excavator in every weight class; Takeuchi now has a short tail at 1.7/2.5/5.7/8.5 and 15 tonnes. The 3-Series TB325R weighs in comfortably within trailer towing limits to make a very compact addition to any hire fleet.

Kubota The K008-5 and U10-5 micro excavators boast increased power
and efficient Stage V engines. With track widths adjustable to as little as 0.7m (K008-5) and
0.75m (zero tail swing U10-5), the new excavators bring all-round vision and high power-to-weight ratio to the most difficult to reach environments with low ground impact. The exterior on both models has been redesigned to boost
comfort and safety. The U10-5 offers a side lever joystick as standard, and both models have been upgraded with a durable seat, unrivalled legroom and a more ergonomic console, making working for longer periods more comfortable. Convenience is bolstered thanks to
features such as engine safety start, an expanded control lock system, highly visible orange seat belt and alarm, alongside green beacon capability and LED boom lights. Operators can be assured of simple machinery maintenance, excellent warranty and a first- class dealer network. Meanwhile, anti-theft features included as standard are working hard to keep these excavators safe and secure.
