Urban construction projects in Missouri present their own unique set of challenges, including limited space, traffic congestion, and tight project timelines.
These environments demand equipment that can move efficiently, adapt to varying terrain, and maintain high productivity with minimal downtime. Enter the Takeuchi TB395W wheeled excavator—a powerful solution designed to tackle these complexities with versatility and efficiency.

Built for Urban Agility
The Takeuchi TB395W is a wheeled excavator engineered for jobs where mobility is essential. Unlike traditional tracked excavators, the TB395W can travel at higher speeds between job sites without the need for a trailer. This advantage alone can significantly reduce the time and labor required to reposition equipment in busy city environments like St. Louis or Kansas City.
Its compact design makes it well-suited for urban applications such as utility work, road maintenance, and sidewalk or streetscape improvements. With multiple steering modes, including two-wheel, four-wheel, and crab steering, the TB395W offers excellent maneuverability around tight corners and confined spaces.
Operator Comfort Meets Performance
Urban operators often spend long hours in the cab, navigating difficult work zones. The TB395W offers a comfortable and intuitive operator environment, featuring an 8-inch color touchscreen, customizable hydraulic settings, and excellent visibility through expansive windows.
The machine’s two-piece boom enhances digging versatility and provides a better range of motion when working around existing infrastructure. Its load-sensing hydraulic system adjusts flow based on demand, contributing to smoother operation and fuel efficiency—an important factor when running equipment for extended periods in regulated city zones.
Designed for Utility and Municipal Contractors
For contractors performing municipal work—such as installing or repairing sewer lines, water mains, or fiber optics—the TB395W is equipped to handle trenching and material handling tasks with precision. Its wide range of compatible attachments, including hydraulic breakers, tilt buckets, and compactors, enhances its utility across various job scopes.
Additionally, the wheeled chassis reduces ground disturbance, which is particularly important for minimizing surface restoration costs in paved areas. Municipal agencies and subcontractors alike benefit from reduced surface damage and quicker jobsite turnaround.
Real-World Applications in Missouri
Across Missouri, urban contractors are increasingly relying on wheeled excavators, such as the TB395W, to keep projects on schedule. For example:
- St. Louis Street Revitalization Projects: Crews use the TB395W for its maneuverability and ability to travel short distances between intersections without needing transport.
- Kansas City Utility Upgrades: Utility contractors benefit from the TB395W’s digging power and stability when trenching near existing infrastructure.
- Springfield Sidewalk Repairs: Municipal crews utilize their precise hydraulic control and multiple attachments to perform efficient surface and subsurface work.
