The next-generation SV100 mini excavator by Yanmar delivers powerful performance on jobsites. The SV100-7 features improvements to hydraulics, cab design and maintenance. This model is designed for fleets and work in utility, construction, demolition and landscaping applications, to name a few.
“These machines are entirely redesigned with the operator and service departments in mind,” said Buck Storlie, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America product manager. “From more comfort and enhanced ergonomics to an open hood system that is incredibly efficient to work on, we’re confident operators will be thrilled with the new ViO80-7 and SV100-7’s performance and overall experience.”
Experience
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 phone charging.
The 21,385-lb. SV100-7 includes a powerful 72-hp Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine. This machine achieves a maximum dig depth of 14 ft., 11 in. The mini excavator also features an ultra-tight tail swing with minimal overhang.
The machine allows for a 15 percent increase in work speed and 25 percent increase in travel speed on slope. A new 2-Pump Load Sensing (2PLS) hydraulic system improves performance. The 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.
Technology
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.
Additionally, operators can see blind spots with the standard rearview and right-side cameras shown split screen on the display. An optional Surround View feature reduces blind spots further by showing a 360-degree view on the operator’s display. This can reduce the risk of accidents and help avoid damage when working in close contact with obstacles or walls.
The mini excavator includes 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.
Reliability
The mini excavator includes an engine bay designed for accessibility. The cabin hoods open and put the generator, valves, radiator, oil-water separator and more in an accessible location. A water contamination detection system takes reliability a step further.
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.
