GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. — Yanmar Compact Equipment offers a range of compact wheel loaders designed for maximum efficiency and ease of use. The machines include comfort features across the range, including a spacious cab and double doors for easy entry from either side. The range includes V4-7, V8, V10 and V12. All four models come with signature Yanmar reliability standards and a three-year/3,000-hour warranty.

“Our loaders fill a critical niche for landscaping, agriculture, construction, snow removal and rock quarrying,” said Jeff Pate, sales manager for Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. “For contractors, having reliable, high-performance machines in this size class is crucial to success.”

Yanmar Compact Equipment wheel loaders are designed for high performance in a compact package. The line’s operating weights range from 8,422 lbs. at 15,432 lbs. The loaders feature bucket capacities ranging from 0.65 cubic yards to 2.35 cubic yards and lift capacities from 7,451 lb-force to 15,962 lb-force. Fast travel speeds, ranging from 11.8 mph to 22 mph, improve jobsite productivity.

The loaders have intuitive controls and include features that allow for easy operation, such as fixed ground speed mode, fully automatic throttle mode and auxiliary hydraulics with proportional control. Operators of all skill levels can easily manage the intuitive multi-function joysticks.

The V4-7, V8 and V10 are equipped with electronically controlled Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engines, which deliver exceptional power with reduced fuel consumption. The V12 is equipped with a Deutz diesel engine that is also Tier 4 Final compliant.

Hydraulic quick couplers allow quick and easy change of attachments. Operational efficiency is further enhanced by the parallel kinematics on the V8, V10 and V12, which allows operators to lift loads with precision, without the need for constant readjustment of the load angle. As the most compact loader in the line, the V4-7 features a Z-bar for higher breakout forces, but the machine also features an auto-leveling mode for applications where it is more advantageous to maintain a constant bucket level. Additionally, the V4-7 offers ECO mode, a setting that reduces engine speed to enable even lower fuel consumption.

Yanmar Compact Equipment compact wheel loaders put operator comfort first with an unmatched cab experience that includes high visibility, suspension seat and fully controlled air conditioning. All models have two doors for easy entry from either side and maximum ventilation. The machines offer smooth off-road operation thanks to an oscillating rear axle that safely transmits tractive force over uneven ground. This keeps the bucket level in operation and reduces operator fatigue.

The V8, V10 and V12 come standard with enclosed cabs designed to reduce operator fatigue. The cabs are rubber-mounted for a smoother ride and feature a comfortable seat with lumbar support, padding and an extra high backrest. The V4-7 is available in both open and closed cab configurations.

Backing their claim for maximum reliability, Yanmar Compact Equipment offers an industry-leading 3-year/3,000-hour end-to-end warranty on its entire line of compact wheel loaders. A centralized lubrication system is available as an option for the V8, V10 and V12. This option ensures constant lubrication while the machine is running, virtually eliminating the risk of contamination.

Service kits that provide common maintenance and wear part replacement items in one place are available for all compact wheel loaders in the range. The loaders offer maximum serviceability, with convenient access to service items enabling long service intervals.
