CP Hire’s new Yanmar mini-excavators
Family-run plant hire firm, CP Hire, has added five new Yanmar SV26 mini-excavators to its rental fleet. Supplied by Crumlin Plant Sales, Yanmar Compact Equipment EMEA’s dealer for Northern Ireland, the machines were delivered earlier this month and are already operational on sites nationwide.
Liveried in Yanmar’s eye-catching new ‘premium red’ colour scheme, and powered by Yanmar’s next-generation 3TNV82A direct-injection engine, the SV26 delivers 85.5Nm torque at 1,400rpm. Digging force (arm) is 14.5kN (12.7kN with long arm), traction force is 37kN, and digging depth is (blade lowered) 2,735mm (2,995mm with long arm) with 30-degree gradeability.
Featuring ViPPs hydraulics comprising two variable flow piston pumps, a gear pump and a multiple combination directional control valve, operators benefit from smooth operation and simultaneous control of multiple functions, even while travelling. Yanmar’s reduced tail overhang design provides increased lifting performance and stability, while a travel weight of just 2,665kg (cab model with rubber tracks) means it can be easily transported via a standard GVW trailer.
