YANMAR’S V80 compact wheel loader has been described by the manufacturer as ‘easy to handle’ even in challenging conditions.
The machine, which is fitted with a Stage V compliant new generation Yanmar engine, has been designed wth manoeuvrability in mind.
Yanmar explained that pollutants in the emissions are reduced by up to 90% thanks to improved combustion and injection systems, alongside a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter as standard.
The V80 can achieve speeds of 20 km/h on the road (or 36 km/h in the high-speed version), and boasts a tipping load of 3770kg.
The parallel kinematics system is said to allow operators to lift a load ‘quickly and precisely’ without constantly having to adjust the loading angle. This has the benefit of freeing them up to concentrate on where exactly to set down the load.
Yanmar added that the hydrostatic transmission delivers ‘high power and smooth adjustment’, giving the operator a high rim pull for effective pushing or digging and good travel performance even on steep inclines.
Numerous controls have been redesigned and rearranged for fast operation and improved machine monitoring. The 3.5” display shows machinery and engine data while the menu guide is decribed as being similar to a smartphone display.
