Product Feature
The patented side-to-side (STS) offset boom combined with the tight tail swing on the TB153FR provides unmatched visibility to the work equipment and enables it to rotate fully with very little overhang. Its low center of gravity and optimized counterweight placement creates an extremely stable platform with lifting capabilities similar to that of a conventional machine.
