“Our dealers and our customers really like the new color. Everyone feels that Premium Red attracts attention on the job site, and just as the quality and reliability of our products stand out from the competition, in a sea of yellow competitive machines in North America, our Premium Red color stands out too,”

stated Jeff Pate, Director of Sales, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America.

But this shift from the well-known Yanmar yellow is more than simply a cosmetic color change. For Yanmar Compact Equipment, the symbolism of this change resonates on a deeper level.

“Yanmar Compact Equipment is on a journey of transformation. We aim to be a global leader in Compact Equipment and with the help of our dealer partners, deliver sustainable business solutions for our customers and the societies in which they operate. Our acquisitions of the last few years are now fully integrated into a harmonized, Yanmar CE way of working, with common processes and customer focus right across our enlarged product and services portfolio. For us, Premium Red sends out a clear signal that we are one company, with a clear product strategy. But our transformation goes far beyond our machines, we are challenging the way we think and the way we work, to transform our products, our business, and our brand to create even more value for our customers,”

explains CEO, Giuliano Parodi.

In product transformation, Yanmar CE is currently evaluating several alternative fuel and powertrain technologies and recently unveiled its first electric mini excavator prototype, the new SV17e. Proudly featuring the new Premium Red color, the SV17e is aimed at customers in the European market in the 1.5 to 2.0 tonnes segment.

“Our prototype is significant because it demonstrates our capability to bring the quality and reliability of our highly respected conventional engine technology into the arena of electrification,”

explained Director Product Management EMEA, Cedric Durand.

In business transformation, Yanmar Compact Equipment is continuing to invest in manufacturing infrastructure and in expanding their global dealer network to increase the proximity to customers, reduce lead times and improve service. Closely linked to these investments is the focus on creating an amazing customer experience.

“Our move to Premium Red across our machines certainly signals a change and we are confident that our customers will start to see other changes too. We have the ambition to be a leader, not only in machines but in the customer experience too, and are working hard to get closer to our customers to identify new and innovative ways in which we can add value to them,”

explained Elsie De Nys, Global Director Channel and Brand Development.

The change to the new Premium Red also heralds a new confidence in the Yanmar Compact Equipment brand and coincides with the launch of its new tagline, Together We Build.

“Our aim, together with our dealer partners, is to build stronger relationships and create even greater customer value. Together We Build,’ really underlines our commitment to transforming Yanmar CE and with the help of our dealers, to focus on creating a new and exciting experience for our customers,”

Parodi said.

For Yanmar Compact Equipment, change is in the air and the fresh, new image of the Premium Red machines, certainly reflects the optimism running through the business. This milestone moment is about shared goals and ambitions and about building a better future for everyone.

“Our dealers are vital to the success of the Yanmar brand and achieving our goals for growth in North America. These new partners are exactly what we’re looking for. Each one shares our values of dependability and reliable customer service—the things that will help provide the best possible experience for our customers and represent our brand well,”

said Dave Gannon, director of channel development for the Yanmar brand.

The new dealers will offer Yanmar’s lines of powerful, dependable, and efficient mini excavators, tracked carriers, and wheel loaders. This includes the SV40 mini excavator, designed specifically for the North American market and featuring best-in-class power, digging force, and lifting capacity. The SV40, along with Yanmar’s eight other excavator models, is designed to overcome the most challenging conditions. The equipment delivers unparalleled performance, fuel conservation, and flexibility, all backed by Yanmar’s outstanding 4-year/4,000-hour mini excavator warranty.

The new dealers will also offer the company’s articulated wheel loaders, featuring premium power and versatility in a compact, nimble package, allowing for easy navigation in tighter spaces. Powered by powerful, yet fuel-efficient, Tier 4 Final diesel engines, they lift and move heavy loads with ease.

Additionally, Yanmar Compact Equipment dealers feature the company’s tracked carrier lineup. The carriers’ durable rubber tracks provide the high-flotation, low ground pressure capability to productively operate in difficult-to-access muddy conditions while minimizing ground disturbance areas.

The launch of this new tagline is the culmination of extensive global research and consultation with staff, dealer partners, and customers. It also represents an important strategic step in Yanmar CE’s transformation journey.

Our transformation will embrace, not only our products with new and alternative fuel technologies but our entire business with value creation at its heart,”

said CEO, Giuliano Parodi.

While the words “Together We Build” may be a new expression, the thinking behind them is fundamental to Yanmar CE and its customers. The essential values which underpin the brand present a modern company that listens to customers builds trust with partners is highly competent and takes a hands-on approach to business, but above all, can inspire and enable customers to reach their ultimate goals.

“Together We Build is what we and our dealer partners have always tried to do with our customers. Their success has always been our success. We have always tried to help them build their businesses, whilst at the same time building our own. The difference now is that the positive advances we are making across our business, have given us the confidence to go out to our customers and say this is what we stand for,”

explained Elsie De Nys, Global Director Channel and Brand Development.

With the “Together We Build” tagline, Yanmar CE has delivered a strong but simple message for customers, dealer partners, and the entire Yanmar CE team. It’s about a shared commitment and it’s about shared aspirations and goals. In a world that is changing fast, “Together We Build” is a positive message of togetherness and hope with the promise of building a better future for everyone.

“We know compact excavators are a multi-functional tool around the job site. They are used for everything from lifting and placing materials such as concrete barriers, to unloading equipment such as portable generators. This utility hook adds ease to our customers’ work and minimizes the potential for damage to both the machine and attachment, which, at the end of the day, increases productivity and reduces machine down time,”

said Frank Gangi, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America product manager of attachments.

Ideal for lifting heavy objects, the utility hook improves equipment longevity and overall safety by providing a dedicated, engineered lifting point built into the mechanical linkage. This provides a stronger position from which to lift, rather than putting the strain on the end of the arm or the attachment. A strap or chain draped around an attachment or a bucket tooth, for example, can cause warping or risk of failure to the attachment or equipment since it may not be rated for such concentrated loads in that area.

The Stowable Utility Hook is designed by Yanmar for Yanmar excavators, offering customers the peace of mind that comes with an OEM-supported product. The utility hook is engineered with the same reliability and performance standards customers have come to expect with Yanmar equipment.

The hook features a multi-directional design that allows it to swing in each direction, as well as 360-degree swivel movement. This provides operators optimal lifting position as well as the ability to easily position lifted objects when setting them into place. The swivel hook conveniently stows out of the way with an easy-to-operate lock pin when not in use. Maintenance on the utility hook is nearly effortless thanks to a single recessed Zerk fitting.

The hook can be retrofitted onto all Yanmar compact excavator models from the ViO25 up to the SV100. Installation can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.

“The ZW370-6 wheel loader is the newest model in our Dash-6 wheel loader line, and it is specifically designed around the needs of North American contractors,”

explains Nathan Little, North American Product Specialist for HCMA.

“Over the past several months, we’ve been rolling out the Dash-6 line, which will include 13 new models in total. Each comes equipped with diesel after-treatment system that eliminates the hassle and costs associated with DPF systems and onboard technology to help contractors better manage their fleet and operating expenses. An incredible amount of effort has gone into engineering and developing the Hitachi Dash-6 loader line, and customers in every size category have told us how impressed they are with the results. We’re confident large machinery fleet managers will feel the same way about the ZW370-6.”

Durable performance

Designed with a full box rear frame for heavy applications and dual Z-Bar linkage that puts less torque on boom arms and gives the machine better balance, the rugged ZW370-6 can handle heavy loads day-after-day, year-after-year. Its reliable performance is complemented by a fuel-efficient Tier 4 engine with a high-volume cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, a common rail-type fuel injection system and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) instead of a diesel particulate filter. Since the ZW370-6 does not have a DPF filter, there is no DPF regeneration cycles, no expensive DPF filters, no DPF maintenance or regen related downtime, and more space for better access within the engine compartment.

Also, the loader has a lock-up transmission that provides 30 percent more tractive force than its predecessor, the Kawasaki Z7, and reduces fuel consumption.

Cab environment

The Hitachi ZW370-6 wheel loader’s cabin provides optimum comfort and control with a multifunctional monitor, roomy cab with plenty of storage and superior visibility. A smooth ride control minimizes machine pitching on the roughest of terrain, and extra engine output for going uphill can be achieved with the flick of the quick power switch. The low-noise engine and sound insulated cab provide a quiet operating environment. There is also an optional Joystick Steering System available for the ZW370-6 to give operators the option of choosing their preference — steering wheel or fingertip operation.

Onboard technology

In addition to featuring the latest in diesel engine and after-treatment technology, the ZW370-6 also incorporates industry-leading telematics to give fleet managers real-time accurate information at their fingertips. Hitachi Owner’s Site and ConSite provide ongoing maintenance and operation data and help alert service technicians when service is required. Using this information, fleet managers can improve the efficiencies of their overall operation and help maximize the performance of their equipment.

Featuring new innovations that are as powerful as they are practical, highlights of the G Series wheel loader line include: best-in-class breakout force, patented SCR engine technology, and an all-new cab with improved ergonomics for operator comfort.

And that’s just for starters. Designed to succeed in any specialty application, every element of the G Series wheel loader line was analyzed and engineered to work together to provide real-world benefits that exceed industry standards for the lowest total cost of ownership.

Because of their variety of applications and varying engine loads, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology is the obvious choice for G Series wheel loaders. Rather than compromise power, SCR lets the engine do what it does best – run at peak performance.

Plus, SCR is simple. No DPF to replace. No Regeneration exhaust temperatures. No regeneration downtime.

Only CASE G Series wheel loaders let you match engine output to the task at hand with 4 power modes: ECO for maximum fuel efficiency, STANDARD for quick loading, MAX for aggressive digging and AUTO for engine output that responds on the fly.

G Series wheel loaders offer a five-speed transmission with lockup torque converter and computer-controlled clutch modulation. This efficient transmission improves acceleration, travel speeds and climbing power, and eliminates power loss — and the five-speed setup can also increase fuel savings. (Available on 621G, 721G, 821G, 921G wheel loaders.)

The cab and operating environment of the G Series wheel loaders have been completely re-engineered to provide optimal operator performance, ergonomics, and engagement with both the controls and the surrounding job site. An 8″ LCD monitor provides the loader operator with simple control and greater insight over many loader functions and activities. A one-piece rounded windshield and optimally placed mirrors, along with a rearview camera that feeds the monitor, ensure full 360° visibility. An entirely new HVAC system ensures operators stay comfortable regardless of the outside conditions.

CASE ProCare is the first all-in-one heavy machine support program that’s as powerful as the equipment it protects. Best of all, ProCare comes standard on G Series wheel loaders and keeps you covered for up to three full years. It’s the assurance growing businesses need to stay competitive, productive, and profitable.
