Yanmar Showcases Heavy-Duty Mini Excavators

Yanmar Compact Equipment introduced the ViO80-1A and SV100-2A mini excavators, designed for tight worksites.

The ViO80’s zero-tail-swing design allows the excavator to rotate next to a structure with less risk of hitting it. The 8-ton-class ViO80 weighs in at 18,136 pounds with 56.9 hp and a maximum digging depth of 15 feet, 4 inches.

The larger SV100’s ultratight tail swing has 6.7 inches of overhang. The 10-ton class SV100 also has a 21,550-pound operating weight while providing 72 hp and a maximum digging depth of 15 feet, 9 inches. The SV100 includes a lever-controlled backfill blade, along with an LCD monitor displaying operating information and maintenance interval notifications. 

Features of both mini excavators include:

• Eco Mode, Auto-Decel Mode and autoshift two-speed travel. Eco Mode helps extend engine life, lengthen oil change intervals and reduces fuel consumption by reducing engine speed and power draw when not needed. The mini excavators’ auto shift two-speed travel design shifts the machines between low and high range automatically.
• Yanmar’s hydraulic quick coupler, which facilitates changing of attachments. Aside from fitting and removing the safety lock pin, the entire task can be completed with the flip of a switch while the operator is seated in the cab.
• Cabs that provide elbow and leg room.
• Standard heating and air conditioning systems and sound-blocking, antivibration construction.
• SmartAssist Remote, Yanmar’s telematics system, free for five years on qualifying machines. Using the integrated theft protection, the mini excavator’s owner can set a range from a specific location or a starting time, triggering SmartAssist Remote to send a notification if that range is exceeded. SmartAssist Remote can also detect errors with electronic components and send notifications to service personnel and directly to Yanmar to support the diagnostic process. Additionally, the machine’s owner can view the operational status of the equipment in real time and view daily work reports that track use of the excavator. Finally, SmartAssist Remote can track maintenance intervals and inspection items as well as notify the owner via email about upcoming maintenance requirements.
• A Yanmar Tier 4 Final engine and standard second PTO with flow control for utility.
• Yanmar Compact Equipment offers a four-year/4,000-hour bucket-to-counterweight warranty for these mini excavators.
