7139 Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe is offering a new range of compact wheel loaders. High output and productivity are claimed, along with low maintenance needs and running costs, Durable and tough, the machines are said use by rental fleets. Power comes from Yanmar engines that are said to deliver good torque curves along with low fuel consumption and minimal emissions.
Yanmar’s two latest diesels, the 4TN101 and 4TN107, are said to combine high power density with low fuel consumption. According to Carlo Guidici, sales director for Yanmar Europe: “The engines have 10% lower fuel consumption than the average for the competition.” With power outputs ranging from 90-155kW, the 4.6litre 4TN107 can provide a power density of 33.7kW/litre, which the firm claims is the highest in its class, while it delivers 805Nm of torque.
The issue of power density is important and Guidici
According to Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe, the firm’s redesigned tracked carriers offer good gradeability even in tough working conditions. These low ground pressure machines can cope with soft terrain and offer high output on sites that would bring other units to a halt says Yanmar.
Volvo CE says that lowering fuel consumption will tackle fleet costs and deliver environmental benefits for its customers, Mike Woof reports. Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is targeting fuel economy and performance with its latest generation of machines. The new L180F and L220F wheeled loader models are being fitted with the sophisticated OptiShift package, which will boost operation and driveline efficiencies and cut fuel consumption by 15%, and more in some instances.
Key developments are being seen in the markets for compact compaction and loading machines - Mike Woof writes Various new utility machines are now coming to market aimed at the rental segment, with advances in small compaction and loading tools proving particularly popular. These will benefit from the latest low emission engines while delivering increased power and performance, as well as being easier and more comfortable to use.
