Takeuchi Baby Duck Deal Done at Plantworx

The Takeuchi stand was extremely busy during Plantworx and the various dealers attending were reporting some great deals being agreed, and a significant number of machines sold off the stand.

Takeuchi Baby Duck Deal Done at Plantworx

Among these deals was the sale of the new Takeuchi TB370W to L Lynch Plant Hire and Haulage, by regional dealership CBL Plant Sales.

The 7.5 tonne category wheeled excavator made its first European appearance at Intermat in Paris and the compact baby ‘rubber duck’ is proving to be a popular addition to the Takeuchi range.

Talking about this particular example Richard Sturgess Sales Director for CBL Plant Sales said, “This machine features the TAB (Two Piece Boom), outriggers and blade, it also includes a whole host of innovative features and functions including, cruise control, rapid return to dig, automatic axle lock out, programmable auxiliary hydraulic settings from the screen, and no requirement for Ad-Blue.

I addition I really like the little subtle features like the “ice cream” hatch in the door window, which enables the operator to communicate with ground crew, without having to open the door, which is really neat”.

 

The deal was completed at Plantworx and pictured above left to right we see; Sam Ireland – CBL Sales Development & Key Accounts Manager, who looks after L Lynch Plant Hire and Haulage, as a key account.  Della Vertigan (Lynch) – Plant Asset Manager.  Luke Stevenson (Lynch) – Buyer, and Richard Sturgess – Sales Director, CBL.
