Executive Hire Show: Yanmar ViO17
Visitors to the 2020 Executive Hire Show in Coventry are being treated to their first look at the new Yanmar ViO17 mini-excavator. A true zero tail swing machine, neither the counterweight nor the upper frame exceeds the width of the crawlers, making the ViO17 perfectly suited to tight job sites. A variable undercarriage (950mm-1,280mm) maximises stability by adapting itself to the space available, while the permanently fixed, hinged blade extensions are easy to fold-out.
Designed with the operator in mind, the ROPS/FOPS/TOPS-compliant canopy allows easy access to both sides of the machine and the operator station is arranged with the perfect position of joysticks, armrests and travel levers, while separate pedals for the auxiliary power take-off and boom offset further benefit the user. Powered by a three-cylinder, 14hp Yanmar 3TNV70-XBV diesel engine, the next-generation powerplant also boasts reduced emissions, reduced noise, improved starting and meets the latest emissions compliance standards.
