Big Boom Swing, Zero Tailswing
Yanmar has launched the 8.2-tonne ViO82 zero-tailswing midi-excavator, whose counterweight and upper-structure do not protrude over the tracks while slewing. In addition, its offset boom swings 60 degrees both to the left and right.
It is powered by a Yanmar 3.3-litre engine rated at 41.5kW (55.6hp) driving a two-pump hydraulic system and provides a bucket digging force of 63.5kN.
