Takeuchi UK

What Takeuchi UK does

Takeuchi UK (legally TAKEUCHI MFG. (U.K.) LTD.) is a wholly owned UK distribution subsidiary of the Japanese construction equipment manufacturer Takeuchi Mfg. Co., Ltd. (est. 1963), itself the originator of the 360-degree compact tracked excavator and compact track loader categories. Established in 1996 and headquartered in Rochdale, Lancashire, the company imports compact construction machinery from Japan and distributes it through a network of approximately 20 authorised dealers across the UK and Ireland, serving end-customers in construction, civil engineering, plant hire, utility infrastructure, and agriculture.

The product portfolio comprises three core equipment lines — compact and mini hydraulic excavators (TB Series, 1 to 16 tonnes), compact tracked dumpers (TCR Series, including the TCR50-3 with 3,700kg payload), and compact track loaders (TL Series, including the TL12V-2) — supplemented by breaker attachments, the TFM remote telematics fleet-management platform (5 years included standard on new TB3150R), and the TAM keyless access/ignition security system supporting up to 15 users per machine. Equipment is powered by Yanmar engines, with the latest 15-tonne TB3150R compliant with Stage V emissions via SCR/DPF/AdBlue. The 3-Series range introduces electro-hydraulic (EH) controls, 270-degree camera visibility, climate-controlled cabs, and 8-inch touchscreens as standard.

Commercially, Takeuchi UK generates revenue primarily through hardware sales via its dealer channel, with ancillary income from parts, servicing, and the Takeuchi Finance programme offered through dealers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set on a dealer-by-dealer basis. The company employs 16 staff, participates in major UK trade exhibitions (Hillhead, Scotplant, Plantworx), and maintains an active social media and content-marketing presence to support dealer demand generation.
