Takeuchi-US, a manufacturer of compact equipment, launched a new telematics system, Takeuchi Fleet Management (TFM). Now available at all local dealers, TFM hardware comes standard on select excavators and track loaders in the Takeuchi lineup.

The new monitoring system checks the health of Takeuchi equipment and minimizes costly repair calls with real-time machine information, Takeuchi said.

Features include remote diagnostics that capture run hours, equipment data and utilization tracking.

“The new TFM feature will provide operators a greater capacity to maximize profitability, reduce downtime and improve efficiency,” said Jonathan Martinez, project manager at Takeuchi-US. “It eliminates any guessing game to make TFM users aware of any issues in real-time. This is an exciting new addition to our lineup.”

Machines equipped with TFM hardware as standard equipment will also include two years of standard service.
