Yanmar’s ViO23.6, designed to be small and versatile

Yanmar’s new ViO23-6 is a 2.3tonne mini-excavator designed to work in confined spaces. It’s rotation radius is just 1.38m. The machine has zero offset, the counterweights do not protrude even when the chassis is closed, and the front parts of the turrets do not extend beyond the width of the tracks.

The standard ViO23-6 is equipped with a variable-track chassis that can extend from 1380mm to 1550mm to give it good stability and lifting capacity. An additional counterweight allows it to operate with heavier attachments.

This compactness of the lower chassis and its transport weight of 2,365kg including cabin, standard counterweights, and standard arm mean that the ViO23-6 can be transported with its accessories on a trailer.

The ViO23-6 is powered by a Yanmar 3TNV76-PBV1 engine which comes with an auto deceleration system and eco-mode as standard. It also has a ViPPS (ViO Progressive 3-Pump System) hydraulic system complimented by a distributor to optimise the performance of all hydraulic operations simultaneously.

In terms of performance, this mini-excavator has a digging depth of 2450 mm, with a standard arm, an excavation force of 17.5kN with a bucket and 13.1kN with a standard arm.
