The newest excavator in the FR platform, the TB257 FR features a side-to-side (STS) offset boom combined with minimal tail swing for unmatched visibility to the work equipment and enables it to rotate fully with very little overhang. Its low center of gravity and optimized counterweight placement creates an extremely stable platform with lifting capabilities similar to that of a conventional machine.
Side-to-Side (STS) Boom System – Provides unmatched visibility to the work equipment and it allows the machine to operate in very confined areas, rotating 360 degrees just inches beyond the width of the track.
Unmatched Capability – The Full Rotation (FR) design allows the boom to come back over center enabling the machine to make a full rotation in very tight work sites.
Multiple Auxiliary Hydraulics Plumbed to Mid Arm – Allowing the TB257FR to be a versatile attachment platform.
Automatic Step Down Travel Motors – Provide torque on demand when pushing, climbing, or turning in high speed mode.
Best In Class Traction Force – Powerful turbocharged engine provides 19% more traction force than its predecessor, the TB153FR
Pick Your Mode – ECO, and High Altitude modes allow the operator to choose the operating mode best suited to the application.
The Latest Emission Compliant Engines – Provide outstanding power, fuel economy, low noise levels, and long service lives. The TB257FR engine provides 32% more engine output than its predecessor, the TB153FR.
Heavy Duty Offset Boom Structure – Uses four large king pins to distribute shock and forces through the main frame via the over sized box reinforced arms for exception durability.
