Operator Comfort
The operator’s station on the TB230 is well appointed and comes with a spacious operator’s platform that provides all day comfort.
Serviceability
The service access hood eliminates the tilt-up cabin, and provides outstanding access to the control valve, hydraulic lines, hydraulic tank, and pattern change valve.
Durability
The wrap around counterweight protects key engine and hydraulic components from damage while delivering excellent stability.
Performance
The TB230 design features a rounded body for improved visibility and functionality.
TB230
Compact Mini Excavator
With its narrow width the TB230 compact mini excavator is able to work on job sites with limited accessibility, and the conventional tail swing design provides excellent stability and greater operator space. The control valve and hydraulic components are now conveniently located under the right side cover for improved accessibility.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Compact Design
- Enables you to work in a wide range of applications and the conventional tail swing provides greater stability and larger operator’s station.
Operator Focused
- Multifunction, LED monitor provides the operator with machine vitals, flow adjustments, and attachment presets.
- Electronic dial type throttle control allows the operator to quickly adjust engine speed, and the automatic engine idle feature will reduce engine speed to low idle automatically should the machine idle more than several seconds.
Function and Efficiency
- The lower horsepower rating of the TB230 does not require the use of a DOC/DPF exhaust aftertreatment system.
- The variable displacement axial piston pump delivers smooth, harmonized control of the work equipment with no reduction in speed.
- The standard long arm with integrated thumb mount provides you with a wider working range, dig depth, and simplifies thumb installation.
- Load sensing, two speed travel down shifts from low torque/high speed mode to high torque/low speed travel automatically when turning, pushing dirt, or traveling up an incline.
- Large slew bearing provides greater longevity and stability over the life of the machine.
- Cushioned cylinders improve longevity by reducing shock and they reduce felt recoil to the operator for greater comfort.
Takeuchi Fleet Management

Increased Protection
- All steel construction ensures body integrity through greater strength and rigidity and protects key components from damage.
- Heavy duty counterweight protects vital engine and hydraulic components from damage.
- Triple flange track rollers improve track life by providing greater support, and they feature multiple contact points that reduce the risk of de-tracking.
Ease of Maintenance
- Rear hood and right side cover open high overhead providing exceptional access to inspection and maintenance points.
Peace of Mind
- The safe start system requires the safety lockout lever be in the raised position in order to start the excavator ensuring hydraulic functions are inactive at start-up.
