Speaking about the oldest or initial Backhoe Loader by the company, Rahul Shorey, National Head – Construction, Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery, said, “The first backhoe loader that we introduced was in 1998, in collaboration with John Deere. It was popularly known as TJD. When our partnership with John Deere ended in 2007, we modified the model. We changed the existing Perkins engine to launch the Tata 315-V in 2007 and the Tata 315-E in 2009. In 2012, we launched the TH-76 and TH-86, where TH denoted Tata Hitachi.”
On the latest Backhoe Loader, Shorey said, “Our latest Backhoe Loader is the CEV-4 compliant SHINRAI PRIME. Shinrai is a Japanese word that means reliable, trustworthy, and capable. SHINRAI PRIME is Equipped with a Japanese engine that is equipped with Electronic Centre Direct Injection System, enginemounted After Treatment Device and Automatic Fuel Priming System.These ensure exceptional performance offering best in class fuel efficiency. In addition, it is one of the quietest of machines in this space, making it easier to work in public areas.”
He further added, “With class-leading backhoe digging forces and reach, SHINRAI PRIME can work in the deepest and farthest of locations with great ease. The front-end loader has an excellent dump height and reach which helps in loading high-capacity trucks. A better reach helps in loading the material in the centre of the truck for better spread of material. The auto levelling feature of the front-end loader ensures shorter cycle times, safety, high manoeuvrability and powerful dozing capabilities.”
Shorey also said that with a well ventilated and spacious air-conditioned cabin, SHINRAI PRIME has a comfortable operator seat which can easily switch between backhoe and loader modes. Feather touch ergonomic controls, user-friendly consoles, digital display, music system, abundant storage and suspension seating ensure that the operator is comfortable and remains productive always. “SHINRAI PRIME is powered by Tata Hitachi’s telematics system-InSite, that providedreal time data on machine location, HMR, fuel level and machine utilization. InSite enables customers to remotely monitor and manage their machines, apart from receiving reports on machine usage, fleet status and service due alerts.
