    The TB53FR 5-ton compact excavator combines the advantages of zero tail swing with a side-to-side offset boom system to allow the operator to slew 360 degrees within inches of the machine width. A new Interference Prevention System controls the range of motion to prevent the bucket from contacting the operator's station. It also has standard travel alarm, TOPS/FOPS canopy or cab and control tower lockout system. The machine features an exclusive tilt-up operator's platform for easy access.
