To celebrate 50 years
since launching its very first mini-excavator, Yanmar has announced a special
edition livery for its class-leading SV60.
Unveiled at the SAIE
2018 exhibition in Italy, a limited run of 10 units will be made available
through the compact equipment expert’s global dealer network.
Featuring a
distinctive red colour scheme, the special edition model combines
sector-leading technology and future-proof innovation to deliver a ‘business
class’ operator experience. Offering the performance of a midi-excavator with
the space-saving benefits of a more compact model, the 5-6 tonne machine boasts
a 3,565mm working envelope.
In addition to
launching the limited-run model, Yanmar CEE has also revealed a special film to
showcase the crawler excavator build process.
With interviews from
the production team at Yanmar’s manufacturing facility in St-Dizier, France,
the movie takes a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the company’s state-of-the-art
factory and profiles its innovative product portfolio.
To coincide with the
film, Yanmar will also run a competition for its younger fans via Facebook.
Tasking two age groups (7-14 years and 15 years and older) with drawing the
‘mini-excavator of the future’, prizes include a Nintendo Switch, Nikon compact
camera and an iPad.
Andreas Hactergal,
sales and marketing director at Yanmar CEE, commented: “We wanted to celebrate
the 50th anniversary of our very
first mini-excavator with a series of festivities. Yanmar is renowned worldwide
for its excavator range, so launching a limited-run edition of our modern day
equivalent seemed a fitting gesture!
“Celebrating the
people behind our class-leading range was also hugely important. As such, we
undertook a project to film the SV60 build process and showcase the commitment,
creativity, hard work and attention to detail that goes into the build of each
and every model manufactured in our St-Dizier facility.”
