Takeuchi TB1140 specifications

The BB-4BG1TRE TB1140 and the later Series 2 need different sheets

The earlier UK brochure identifies an Isuzu BB-4BG1TRE. The later UK Series 2 brochure names an AM-4JJ1XZSB-01. These are different engine applications under the TB1140 name, not alternative spellings of one engine.

Read the engine plate before using an online capacity or buying service parts.

The earlier sheet also gives separate standard-arm and long-arm digging envelopes. Rubber and steel crawlers have their own entries. An advertised maximum depth can therefore describe a long-arm machine while its transport or weight figure comes from a different setup.

The matched early configurations below keep those distinctions visible.

Early-machine controls include a momentary auxiliary button and a proportional joystick slider. Boom swing uses a pedal, while a separate joystick button requests engine deceleration. These functions are worth identifying during a demonstration because an attachment control and the swing pedal serve different circuits.

Series 2: attachment control and load-holding equipment

The January 2016 UK Series 2 brochure describes boom and arm holding valves with an audible warning. The attachment hoses sit high on the dipper for protection, and the main boom and swing cylinders have cushioning. Those are specific inspection points when comparing its arm arrangement with an older TB1140.

Its automatic travel system selects the higher-torque mode when turning, pushing or climbing. A slowing travel speed under that demand need not mean the selected high-speed function has failed. The sheet also distinguishes standard service features from hydraulic hitches and breaker options.

Seeing a hitch in a brochure photograph does not establish that it came with a particular used machine.

The Japanese regulatory record identifies another engine designation

Japan's Ministry of the Environment records a TB1140 application with an Isuzu 4JJ1XDMA engine. Its entry is an emissions-model notification, with a rated output and notification date. It does not identify the build date of every TB1140, and it does not convert the earlier BB-engine machine into a later emissions configuration.

Use the notification together with the machine's own identification, especially for an imported unit.
