Success Story: City of Hempstead Invests in the Takeuchi TL12V
July 17, 2026Big thanks to the City of Hempstead for trusting Houston Heavy Machinery with their Takeuchi TL12V Skid Steer purchase! 💪 Exceptional service, reliable machinery, and customer satisfaction every step of the way.
City of Hempstead Puts the Takeuchi TL12V Skid Steer to Work
When municipalities invest in new equipment, reliability matters. Every machine needs to perform day after day while keeping projects on schedule and maintenance costs under control. That’s exactly why the City of Hempstead chose the Takeuchi TL12V Skid Steer from Houston Heavy Machinery.
We appreciate the opportunity to earn their business and look forward to supporting their equipment for years to come. Partnerships like this remind us why we do what we do—providing dependable machinery backed by exceptional customer service.
Why the Takeuchi TL12V Stands Out
The Takeuchi TL12V delivers the power, lift capacity, and versatility crews need to handle demanding jobs with confidence. Its vertical lift design makes loading trucks, moving materials, and handling pallets easier while maintaining excellent stability throughout the lift cycle. The machine also features over 111 horsepower, a rated operating capacity of more than 4,100 pounds, and optional high-flow hydraulics for demanding attachments.
Whether crews tackle road maintenance, parks, drainage improvements, utility work, or general public works projects, the TL12V provides the productivity needed to keep operations moving.
Built for Long Days on the Job
The Takeuchi TL12V combines power with operator comfort. A spacious cab, excellent visibility, ergonomic controls, and a smooth ride help operators stay productive throughout the workday. Easy-access service points also simplify routine maintenance, reducing downtime and helping maximize uptime on every job.
For municipalities, every hour counts. Equipment that stays in service and performs consistently helps crews complete more work with fewer interruptions.
More Than a Machine… A Trusted Partnership
At Houston Heavy Machinery, we believe purchasing equipment should come with outstanding support long after delivery. From helping customers choose the right machine to providing parts, service, and ongoing support, our team works hard to build lasting relationships.
We’re proud that the City of Hempstead trusted Houston Heavy Machinery with their Takeuchi TL12V purchase, and we look forward to seeing the machine make an impact throughout the community.
Thank you again to the City of Hempstead for choosing Houston Heavy Machinery. We appreciate your business and remain committed to providing reliable equipment, responsive service, and the support you need to keep every project moving forward.
