YANMAR has been around for more than 100 years and nearly 50 years, in the compact construction equipment. Yanmar introduced one of the first mini excavators in 1968.

Yanmar’s eight excavators – six with true zero tail swing – are each purpose-built to overcome the most challenging conditions, work with unparalleled power, conserve fuel and provide exceptional flexibility with the same stability and performance you’d expect from more conventional excavators.– YANMAR

ULTRA-TIGHT TAIL MINI EXCAVATORS

SV08

2,348 lbs | 10.3HP| 5’4″ Digging Depth

Our smallest excavator sets the standard for efficient work in confined spaces. A tenacious worker, the SV08-1B is unfazed by housing foundations, indoor renovation, pipe-laying, landscaping and other challenges in hard-to-reach places. Adjustable width tracks let you maneuver through gaps as narrow as 2ft – 3in, and a variable undercarriage lets you work safely on slopes or steps. Plus, the powerful, 10.3-hp, Tier 4 Final engine is environmentally friendly with clean exhaust and very low noise.

VIO17

3,836 lbs | 14.5HP | 7’7″ Digging Depth

The ViO17-A goes almost anywhere and works efficiently in tight, narrow areas. Our most compact zero tail swing mini excavator goes where larger excavators can’t, and works easily against walls or buildings. But its small stature doesn’t sacrifice power. The 14.5-hp final Tier 4 diesel engine provides the power you need for the toughest jobs, with dramatic lifting capacity and bucket digging force that belies it’s size. Plus YANMAR’s unique, sturdy variable undercarriage provides flexibility, stability and safety.

VIO25

6,217 lbs | 20.4HP | 10’4″ Digging Depth

If you work on tight residential or inner city jobsites, you need an excavator that fits through narrow openings and works comfortably in tight quarters. Meet the new ViO25-6A. This scrappy, go-almost-anywhere true zero tail swing excavator works anywhere you can fit the tracks. It also comes with a fuel efficient 20.4-hp Tier 4 Final engine that delivers unexpected power for its size, with less environmental impact. We apologize if it gives those bigger excavators nightmares.

TRUE ZERO TAIL SWING MINI EXCAVATORS

VIO35

8,214 lbs | 24.4HP | 11’3″ Digging Depth

Introducing the most innovative, fuel-efficient excavator we’ve ever built. The advanced technology zero tail swing ViO35-6A features an electronically controlled Tier 4 engine that meets emissions regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter. It also comes standard with ECO and Auto-Deceleration modes for even more operational efficiency, which means the new ViO35-6A can now deliver up to 20% less fuel consumption than previous models. The YANMAR ViO35-6A is the most productive digging, lifting, do-anything excavator you can buy.

SV40

9,515 lbs | 39HP | 11’10” Digging Depth

Redefining the definition of compact power, the YANMAR SV40 is pushing the limits on an excavator of its size. With best in class power, digging force and lifting capacity, this machine is a game changer within the compact excavator segment. Available in cab and canopy models, the SV40 is one of the most rugged, flexible machines; built to work effectively in extremely tight spaces other bulkier excavators simply can’t reach. Options for the SV40 include a second PTO function, 4 or 6-way blade and an additional counterweight.

VIO50

10,792 lbs | 39HP | 12’3″ Digging Depth

In 1993, YANMAR introduced the world’s first zero tail swing excavator. Today, the ViO50-6A turns completely within its own tracks, with the stability of a conventional excavator. So you can trench and dig in the extremely tight spaces that other excavators simply can’t get to. Add to that a new 39-hp Final Tier 4 Yanmar diesel engine that sacrifices none of the legendary power and unmatched fuel efficiency that’s been part of Yanmar’s legacy for more than 100 years, and you’ll always be the guy they call when conditions are the toughest.

For more than 100 years, YANMAR has crafted some of the world’s most powerful, fuel-efficient engines. The 47.6-hp turbocharged Tier 4 Final diesel engine in the new ViO55-6A is no exception. YANMAR has also pioneered some of the industry’s most innovative technology, including the first zero tail swing excavator. Today the ViO55-6A is one of the most rugged, flexible machines you can have to work effectively in the extremely tight spaces other bulkier excavators simply can’t reach. Add the balance and stability of a conventional excavator and you’ve got one of the best values around.

VIO80

18,136 lbs | 56.9HP | 15’4″ Digging Depth

Show up with the wrong equipment and it can be a really long day. The ViO80-1A, our largest true zero tail swing excavator, goes where bigger, clunkier machines simply can’t.

21,550 lbs | 72HP | 15’9″ Digging Depth

Don’t underestimate the SV100-2A. Sure the new 72-hp Tier 4 Final diesel engine provides the raw power, digging force and lifting capacity you need for tough jobs. But the SV100-2A is also built to navigate those tight, confined jobsites from which bigger excavators have to meekly back down. In fact, the ultra-tightturning radius in both the front and rear is so small that the boom bracket stays entirely within the tracks. You get the versatility to take on any job, while leaving the limitations for those other excavators.
