No Space Too Tight.
The TB257FR owns confined jobsites with a side-to-side boom, tight tail swing and all-steel muscle. Add in operator-first comfort and fast service access, and you’ve got a machine that never backs down from any challenge.
Full-Rotation Design
Side-to-side boom and tight tail swing deliver unmatched maneuverability. Rotate fully in cramped spaces, making urban jobs, bridges and roadwork simpler, faster and safer.
Ease of Maintenance
High-opening hoods and swing-out panels keep daily checks quick. Tilt the cab forward for direct access to engine and hydraulics for maintenance made fast, not frustrating.
Side-To-Side (STS) Offset Boom Design
Purpose-built for tight jobsites where visibility, stability, and precision matter most.
Function and Efficiency
From high-flow hydraulics to cushioned cylinders, every system works in sync. Dig deeper, run more attachments and stay smooth under load. It’s efficiency and muscle without compromise.
Increased Protection
Steel frame, counterweight shield and triple flange rollers protect the core and extend track life. Built tough to absorb the punishment, not pass it on to you.
Operator Focused
Suspension seat, LED vitals, auto-idle and dial-throttle controls put operators in full command. With comfort built in, long shifts feel less like a grind.
Peace of Mind
Safe start system, boom holding valve and overload alarms protect operator and machine. Add reinforced guards when running attachments, and you’re covered from every angle.
