Technical Description
The Takeuchi TW60 is a compact wheel loader powered by a turbocharged 61 hp (45.6 kW) Yanmar 404C-22 engine delivering 146 ft-lb torque at 1800 rpm. It features a hydrostatic transmission with a max travel speed of 12.4 mph (20 kph) forward and reverse, and 100% locking differentials, enhancing traction on varied terrain. The loader’s operating weight is approximately 10,692 lbs (4,850 kg) with a static tipping load of around 6,689 lbs (3,034 kg) straight and 5,906 lbs (2,679 kg) full turn, allowing for stable operation during material handling.
Its Z-bar linkage and universal skid steer coupler enable quick attachment changes and strong breakout forces of 6,294 lbs (2,855 kg) at the bucket and 6,002 lbs (2,722 kg) at the lift arm, supporting efficient digging and lifting. The 1.2 cubic yard (1 m³) heaped bucket has a width of 6 ft (2 m) and provides an 8.2 ft (2 m) dump clearance at max raise, with a reach of 2.2 ft (0.7 m). Key dimensions include an overall length of 17.3 ft (5 m), width over tires of 5.5 ft (2 m), height to top of cab 8.5 ft (2.6 m), and a wheelbase of 6.6 ft (2 m).
The hydraulic system offers a pump flow of 15.9 gal/min (57 l/min), 1.5-second dump time, 4-second bucket lower, and 5-second raise time, with a relief valve set at 3,336 psi for precise hydraulic control. Fuel capacity is 16.2 gallons (61 l), with hydraulic fluid capacity at 15.9 gallons (57 l). Ground clearance is 1.5 ft (0.45 m), and rear axle oscillation is 24°, supporting maneuverability on rough surfaces. The loader is designed for versatility, durability, and productivity in construction and material handling tasks.
