Yanmar VIO 12-2 A overview

Yanmar VIO 12-2 A features overview

ERGONOMY
The use of joysticks on both sides of the seat makes it possible to improve operator position and thus its comfort when working.
PERFORMANCE
Attention paid to the quality of power line ensures excellent performance, while the optimal combination of vio12-2a excavation strengths and work cycles provides exceptional productivity.
+ Easy access in narrow areas and possibility to work along
a wall. + Machine perfectly adapted for restoration of houses. + the vio concept allows the operator to work without considering the rear of the machine: safety and productivity.
JOYSTICKS IMPROVED ERGONOMICS
The vio12-2a is equipped with joysticks on both sides of the seat: + Improving operator position + Comfort improves + Better control over machine movements + Increased productivity and precision.

Engine / Driveline and transmission

Designed to combine high power and cleaner emissions, the YANMAR TNV engine meets European Commission (EC) emission standards with an output of 9.2 kw.
ENGINE
The vio12-2a is equipped with oneyanmar 3tnv70 diesel engine, which delivers a power of 2 kw and has a torque of 52 nm. This can greatly improve machine performance.

Hydraulics

The second travel speed switch is available as standard, allowing the machine to travel up to 4 km/h. This switch is located close to the travel levers in the translation grip area.
HYDRAULICS
Unlike industry standards for this category of machines, Yanmar uses a variable axial pump that adjusts flow and pressure to the load. This enables smoother operation and improves operator comfort. The 2 x 11 l/min pump flow and its high working pressure (210 bar) also allow improving machine productivity and speed in work processes.

Tyres / Tracks

+ Extended undercarriage: the front part of the upper frame
does not exceed the width of the crawlers. + Retracted undercarriage: The rear of the machine only exceeds 85 mm. + Minimum front swing radius with boom swing rocker: 1080 mm + Rear pivot radius: just 650 mm + Width of retracted undercarriage reduced to 830 mm
