The Innovative Kwik-Trim 53. Loftness Delivers Again

It's the Loftness way - a special kind of commitment to continuously develop and deliver innovation and excellence. The Kwik-Trim 53 is the latest extension of that commitment. More than just the evolution of existing trimmer saw equipment, the Kwik-Trim Mobile Compact Saw Trimmer will literally revolutionize the way vegetation management professionals approach trimming challenges.

Performance, Mobility And Efficiency Are Now Within Reach.

53 Foot FRP, Non-conductive Boom

The business end of the Kwik-Trim 53 starts with a fiberglass reinforced plastic boom that ultimately gives the Kwik-Trima 53 foot reach. Ultimate reach in your industry is useless, however, without the ultimate in safety. The Kwik-Trim FRP boom has been dielectrically certified to ANSI A 92-2 category C Standards to 100KV.

The telescopic function is driven by a simple, long-stroke hydraulic cylinder for lower maintenance than chain and sprocket systems. The innovative, single reel design utilizing bonded twin line hoses provides reliable rugged service. The unique reel-mounting configuration provides a clean, straight pull on the hoses throughout the full range of boom motion. This means no corners to go around.

Zero Turn Radius

Total trimming stability and control starts on the ground. Loftness engineers implemented the perfect platform solution with a Counter-Rotating Track Control System. Providing the ultimate in agility and stability, the Kwik-Trim/Takeuchi platform delivers extraordinary maneuverability, allowing operators to safely approach and position the Kwik-Trim securely within tight job site environments and difficult terrain.

This stability and control continues right to the tip of the saw blade. The Loftness Counter-Rotating Control Drive System allows the operator to maintain precise saw position while rotating the track undercarriage.

Ultimate Site to Site Mobility

The complete Kwik-Trim unit weighs only 13,500 pounds and can easily be
transported without a lowboy semi. This also eliminates the inconvenience
and expense of oversize permits and the cost of specialized equipment
trailers. Additionally, when your crew enters a residential
neighborhood, they will be able to take advantage
of a more maneuverable, less conspicuous rig.

Complete boom control means the operator
can completely retract the boom from
an operating position to a parked
and transport-ready position
from inside the cab. This also
affords the operator maneuvering
ability in tight spaces and balance
on steep terrains.

Cuts more than budgets.

Because of its unique configuration and price point, the Loftness Kwik-Trim defines and fills the void between
monster trimmers and hand-labor via climbing, lift trucks and buckets. Its compact size, however, should
not be overlooked as it does have the capacity to perform most of the tasks monster trimmers now
fill (at about half of the purchase price), all while reducing operating costs significantly.
In addition to ensuring efficient on-site operations, the Kwik-Trim provides easy
mobility from site-to-site while dramatically increasing the safety margins
and comfort for tree management and ROW crews.

Puts laser sharp power exactly where you need it.

The Kwik-Trim uses an industry standard 24"
carbide-tipped saw blade operating at
3000 RPM, using only high quality,
industry-proven drive
components.

A stable platform in the field and on the spreadsheet.

As its operating platform, the Kwik-Trim53 uses the TB250 Compact Excavator from Takeuchi. Field-proven and contractor-tested, the TB250 delivers exceptional performance and durability through a whisper-quiet and efficient 38 HP diesel engine that uses less than 1 gallon of fuel per hour. Contractors will appreciate and can depend on the extensive Takeuchi dealer network for sales and service, www.takeuchi-us.com.
