Takeuchi has introduced its TCR50-2 crawler dumper to the North American market, addressing growing demand for compact yet powerful material transport solutions. The 14,440-pound machine combines a 118-horsepower engine with advanced stability features, making it ideal for construction, mining, and infrastructure projects in confined or unstable worksites.
High-Capacity Performance in Compact Form
The TCR50-2 delivers impressive functionality with its 8,157-pound payload capacity and 2.7-cubic-yard hauling volume. Its standout feature—a 180-degree rotating dump bed—enables precise material placement while minimizing track wear and machine repositioning. The 65-degree dumping angle ensures complete material discharge, even with sticky or cohesive loads, improving cycle times by up to 30% compared to conventional dumpers.
Operator-Focused Design Enhances Productivity
Takeuchi prioritized operator comfort and visibility in the TCR50-2’s design. The climate-controlled cab features a 5.7-inch multi-information display, intuitive hydraulic joystick controls, and a 180-degree rearview camera system. Additional visibility enhancements include LED work lights, tinted sun visors, and rear window wipers—critical features for safe operation in congested urban job sites. The standard Takeuchi Fleet Management telematics system provides real-time equipment monitoring and geofencing capabilities.
Low-Impact Solution for Sensitive Sites
With rubber track configuration and optimized ground pressure, the TCR50-2 minimizes surface disturbance—a key advantage for environmentally sensitive areas or finished surfaces. The machine’s compact dimensions (12.8′ long × 6.6′ wide) allow access through standard gate openings while maintaining stability on slopes up to 30 degrees.
Strategic Expansion in Growing Market
“The TCR50-2 answers North America’s increasing need for agile material handling solutions,” said Lee Padgett, Takeuchi product manager. Already proven in global markets, this introduction strengthens Takeuchi’s position in the $850 million compact equipment sector. Available through Takeuchi’s North American dealer network, the dumper comes with comprehensive support packages including remote diagnostics and scheduled maintenance alerts.
