The TB280FR Compact Excavator features a unique, patented side-to-side (STS) offset boom combined with near-zero tail swing for unmatched versatility and visibility on site. It is the only excavator with the ability to fully retract the boom and fully loaded digging bucket, then rotate 360°, while exceeding the track by only 12 cm.
The TB280FR features a unique patented side-to-side (STS) offset boom coupled with the near zero tail swing for unrivalled versatility and visibility on site.
The unique FR design provides for parallel trenching right next to walls and buildings. A floor mounted pedal allows you to position the STS offset boom anywhere across the front of the machine without any reduction in dig depth or ground reach. Operators no longer need to reposition the tracks for the optimum excavating angles, they simply let the STS offset boom do all the work.
The STS offset boom combined with near zero tail swing delivers the most versatile compact machine for site. The FR range are the only excavators that can fully retract the boom and loaded digging bucket, then rotate 360° while only exceeding the track by 120 mm (digging bucket up to 750 mm).
With a low centre of gravity and optimised counterweight the TB280FR has an extremely stable platform, with lifting capabilities similar to that of a conventional machine.
