Yanmar Construction
Equipment Europe (CEE) has announced the roll-out of its V65 wheel loader
across the UK and Ireland.
From December, the new
model will be available to order through approved dealers nationwide.
Designed to excel in
tight job sites, the V65 completes Yanmar’s comprehensive wheel loader
portfolio. Measuring just 2,160mm tall and 1,700mm wide (with bucket), the
loader’s compact dimensions guarantee excellent manoeuvrability, a
class-leading turning radius and 40° steering angle.
Rigid articulation
allows the bucket to approach the load in a straight line, while an oscillating
rear axle keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground – even when working
on uneven terrain. Parallel kinematics allows the operator to lift a load without
adjusting the stroke angle, which maximises productivity and optimises work
cycles.
A powerful Deutz L04
Stage IIIA/Tier 4 Interim-compliant diesel engine delivers 36.4 kW (50hp) power
@ 2,300 RPM, resulting in 42 kN breakout force, 2,920 kg tipping load (at full
turn) and 1,650 kg lifting capacity. High-pressure hydrostatic drive technology
ensures smooth power delivery, while independent working hydraulics allows
hitch attachments to be changed quickly.
The V65 further
benefits from permanent all-wheel drive and automatic self-locking
differentials on the front and rear axles, which provide enhanced traction when
travelling or loading. The clever addition of a brake inching pedal allows the
driver to slow down travel speed while retaining engine RPM for working
hydraulic control – improving cycle times and eliminating wheel spin.
The ROPS/FOPS-approved
cabin has been designed with fatigue-free operation in mind, combining
vibration and noise dampening technologies with hydraulic seat suspension,
adjustable steering wheel and ergonomic controls. A comprehensive range of
add-on equipment packages help to further adapt the wheel loader to specific
job requirements.
Commenting on the
launch, Andreas Hactergal, sales and marketing director at Yanmar CEE, said:
“As the most compact unit in our six-model wheel loader range, the V65 has been
specifically designed to excel in tight job sites and densely built-up areas. With
numerous features to maximise productivity, the new model delivers excellent
lifting, slewing and carrying capability.
“Alongside ensuring
class-leading performance, however, we’ve worked hard to ensure a safe and
comfortable user experience. From ergonomic equipment layout and easy-access
service points, to excellent visibility from the cab, the V65 is perfect for
daily use.
“As with each model in
the Yanmar CEE portfolio, the V65 uses premium components to ensure maximum
quality and reliability. From materials use to hose routing, intricate design
aims to enhance service life and reduce downtime.”
The V65 will be
available to order from dealers nationwide from December. For more information,
