ViO38-7 and ViO33-7: Yanmar CE’s newest zero tail excavators
The ViO38-7 and ViO33-7 mark the latest advancements to Yanmar CE’s iconic zero-tail swing excavator range. Replacing the existing ViO38-6 and ViO33-6, these next-generation models boast improved performance, efficiency and operator comfort – all wrapped in a sleek and compact ‘Premium Red’ package.
Yanmar Compact Equipment EMEA (Yanmar CE) has announced the launch of two next-generation zero tail swing excavators: the reimagined ViO38-7 and ViO33-7. Previewed at this year’s GaLaBau exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany, the units are designed to excel in a wide variety of applications; including (but certainly not limited to) civil engineering, landscaping, construction, and municipal work. Replacing Yanmar’s existing ViO38-6 and ViO33-6, the new and improved models are ideal for projects where space comes at a premium, and where performance and operator comfort remain paramount.
Enhanced performance
The ViO38-7 and ViO33-7 offer substantial upgrades over their predecessors. The ViO38-7, with an Operating Weight (OW) of 3,585 kg, delivers a bucket digging force of 32.8 kN at 2,200 rpm. The lighter ViO33-7, at 3,265 kg OW, provides 30.69 kN of digging force, meaning that both of these highly compact units can handle demanding tasks in tight spots with ease. Both machines also benefit from hydraulic system improvements and an 18.5 kW Yanmar engine, resulting in smoother, faster operations and a 7% improvement in excavation efficiency compared to their previous counterparts.
The boom swing angle has been improved to the left side of the machine, with an effect on the turning radius of both units; resulting
in a reduction of 115 mm compared to previous models, and providing operators with greater versatility and a wider working range. Additional changes to the lower body position and bucket shape enhance clearing ability during forward excavation, making these models highly adaptable to different job site conditions.
Compact dimensions with outstanding transportability
The ViO33-7’s narrow width of 1,550 mm makes it perfectly suited to meet the dynamic needs of our modern, congested landscape, as does the ViO38-7's width of 1,740 mm. Both models are also highly transportable, with transport weights of 3,210 kg (cabin) and 3.090 kg (canopy) for the ViO33-7, and 3,530 kg (cabin) and 3,405 kg (canopy) for the ViO38-7. Improvements to the travel motor and hydraulic pump also enhance the efficiency of earth removal work.
Combined, these updates allow the excavators to travel faster on slopes, reducing overall travel time. The ViO33-7 now offers a maximum speed of 4.8 kph – a 7% increase in speed on level ground – and a 25% improvement in speed under load. Additionally, the standard automatic speed deceleration function contributes to more efficient operation, ensuring that every second on the jobsite is used effectively.
Operator-centric design with modern, sleek features
Operator comfort and modern luxury have all been a key focus in the development of the ViO38-7 and ViO33-7. Responding to direct customer feedback, both new units introduce a bold new design that merges Yanmar’s signature zero-tail swing functionality with a sleek, modern aesthetic. These models offer a striking appearance finished in Yanmar’s staple ‘Premium Red’ paint, while also delivering ease and practicality to the operator, including enhanced visibility, better transportability, and improved safety features.
The ergonomically redesigned cabins provide a more spacious and quieter environment, boosting both safety and comfort during long working hours. Meanwhile, a new 4.3-inch color display adds a modern touch to the inside of the cabin, while key updates like optimized air conditioning vents and accessible storage options further refine the operator experience. These thoughtful enhancements make the ViO38-7 and ViO33-7 ideal for operators seeking both functionality and comfort across a wide range of job sites.
