The 18,122-lb. ViO80-7 features 18% more power over its predecessor with its new 67-hp Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine. The machine provides operators with attachment performance with 20% more PTO flow rate. The ViO80-7 achieves a maximum dig depth of 14 ft., 3 in. while the SV100-7 can reach 14 ft., 11 in. The ViO80-7 features Yanmar’s signature zero tail-swing, which allows the excavator to rotate next to a structure with less risk of hitting it.
The upgraded cabin space includes a new suspension seat, more foot space, ergonomic foot pedals and a wider cabin. Operators can survey the worksite with increased cab glass area. Hot days are more tolerable with the included automatic air-conditioning, the cab is quieter and additional USB ports allow for convenient phone charging.
A new 2-Pump Load Sensing (2PLS) hydraulic system increases pump flow rate under high loads to direct power where it’s needed. Operators can perform grading with the machine's floating blade function.
Operators can see relevant machine information and options at a glance on the new 7-in. color LCD display. Options include PTO flow rate adjustment, Auto-Decel mode, a new passcode lockout feature and more.
The mini excavators include Yanmar’s SmartAssist Remote telematics system. The technology is free for five years on qualifying machines. Using the integrated theft protection, the mini excavator’s owner can set a range from a specific location or a starting time, triggering SmartAssist Remote to send a notification if that range is exceeded. The telematics can also detect errors with electronic components and send notifications to service personnel and directly to Yanmar to support the diagnostic process. Additionally, the machine’s owner can view the operational status of the equipment in real time and view daily work reports that track use of the excavator. Finally, SmartAssist Remote can track maintenance intervals and inspection items as well as notify the owner via email about upcoming maintenance requirements.
Contractors, fleets and operators have simpler maintenance and refueling access with the ViO80-7. The new machine includes an engine bay designed for accessibility. The cabin hood opens and puts the generator, valves, radiator, oil-water separator and more in an accessible location. A water contamination detection system is included.
The new standard double locking quick hitch is operable from inside the cab and allows operators to change attachments without leaving the seat. The hydraulic double locking function offers secure and reliable attachment retention without the need for manual locks or fasteners.
