Full Rotation Design
Control Every Inch.
The TB280FR doesn’t ask for room — it makes its own. With side-to-side boom agility, full rotation muscle and operator-first comfort, every feature is tuned to give you control where space is scarce.
Full-Rotation Design
Side-to-side boom and tight tail swing let you spin within inches. Navigate confined jobsites with full visibility and control for power that feels bigger than the footprint.
Operator Focused
Suspension seating, a 5.7" LED monitor and intuitive controls reduce fatigue and boost awareness. Comfort and clarity combine so operators stay sharp, productive and in command all shift.
Side-To-Side (STS) Offset Boom Design
Purpose-built for tight jobsites where visibility, stability, and precision matter most.
Function and Efficiency
Smart hydraulics, high-flow circuits and a long arm deliver smooth control, deeper digs and full attachment versatility. More muscle, less strain, efficiency engineered to match your pace and precision.
Increased Protection
All-steel frame, heavy counterweight and triple flange rollers guard vital systems and extend track life. Built to take hits, so operators stay focused on the work, not the wear.
Ease of Maintenance
High-opening hoods and a tilt-up cab expose everything fast — engine, hydraulics and checkpoints. Service becomes simple, so operators spend less time wrenching and more time working.
Peace of Mind
Safe start, boom holding valve and overload alarms keep operators protected. Add reinforced guard options when attachments demand it because safety and performance never come second.
