The new range of Yanmar machines will focus on compactness, durability and stability. Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe S.A.S. (Yanmar CEE) will present several highlights at this year?s GaLaBau in Nuremberg. From September 14 to 17, 2016, the construction equipment manufacturer from Japan will show new products and an overview of its product portfolio of mini and compact excavators, carriers and wheel loaders.

Andreas Hactergal, Sales and Marketing Director Yanmar CEE, says: ?Our products have a lot to offer to the green sector - compactness, durability and stability are unmatched. We are especially proud of the more and more improved environmental performance of the machines: Noise level, fuel consumption and emission could be drastically reduced. We look forward to an interesting fair.?

At this year?s GaLaBau, visitors will be presented the all-new ViO57-6. This zero tail swing excavator convinces as one of the most compact excavators in its class. Its new boom design results in a weight-loss of 40 kg and a very small turning radius. Through the new form, Yanmar could also enhance the lifting force by 10 per cent as well as the stability of the machine. Furthermore, the environmental performance has been improved: The ViO57-6 is equipped in standard with an Eco mode which effectively controls the motor speed, allowing a very low fuel consumption. The noise level is also reduced, for the operator as well as for the bystander, which is convenient when working in urban areas.

The improved ergonomics of the cabin and the equipment with a powerful and yet fuel saving Yanmar diesel engine make the machine efficient and comfortable to work with. With the ViO12, another new zero tail swing excavator with joystick control was introduced to the market in 2016. The models ViO17 and ViO38 complement the range of zero tail swing excavators exhibited at GaLaBau.

Complementing the portfolio of hydraulic excavators, Yanmar exhibits one of the new wheel loader models, the Yanmar V8. Next to a powerful hydrostatic power unit, which ensures excellent traction and loading forces, an articulated joint between the front and the rear frame combined with an oscillating rear axle offers very good stability while driving on uneven grounds. Using the Z-bar concept allows a high break-out force.
