Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe (CEE) has introduced the SV60, its latest short-tail midi-excavator. The 5.7 tonne machine has been designed to offer the performance of a midi-excavator with the benefits of a compact excavator, claims the company.
The SV60 has a reduced tail swing and a minimal rotational radius of 2,240mm, giving it a working envelope of 3,565mm. With comfort in mind to enhance operator productivity, the new machine’s cabin is comparable in size to 8 and 10 tonne excavators. Operating controls and switches are ergonomically arranged for easy reach and an air suspension seat comes as standard. The machine is also equipped with a rear-view camera with an additional screen offering great visibility and enhanced safety.
The SV60 features the latest Yanmar engine with output of 33.4kW at 2,200 revolutions per minute, and the ViPPS three-pump hydraulic system that optimises the combination of speed, power, smoothness and balance. With a digging force of 24.8 kN with a standard arm or 27.3 kN with a long arm, and a penetrating force 41.9 kN with a bucket, the SV60 is equipped to work in hard conditions.
