Yanmar ViO80-1 – True Zero Tail Swing Mini Excavator
Exclusively available through Abdullah Hashim Company (AHCL) Auto & Equipment Division | Saudi Arabia
The Yanmar ViO80-1 is a powerful True Zero Tail Swing mini excavator engineered to combine the performance of a large excavator with the maneuverability and flexibility of a compact machine.
Powered by the YANMAR 4TNV98-ZWBV2 vertical 4-cylinder water-cooled direct-injection diesel engine, the ViO80-1 delivers 39.3 kW (52.7 HP) at 1,900 rpm. It provides strong digging performance, with a maximum bucket digging force of up to 63.5 kN and arm digging force of up to 40.8 kN.
With a machine width of approximately 2,270 mm, a standard 0.28 m³ bucket, strong hydraulic performance and True Zero Tail Swing architecture, the ViO80-1 is designed for demanding construction, excavation and infrastructure applications.
The ViO80-1 is suitable for demanding job-site environments in Saudi Arabia, where equipment must deliver dependable performance, maneuverability and productivity.
Large Excavator Performance in a Mini Excavator Package
The Yanmar ViO80-1 brings the performance expected from a larger excavator into a compact machine configuration. Yanmar describes the ViO80-1 as offering the performance of a large excavator while maintaining the benefits of a mini excavator. The machine combines:
- Powerful YANMAR diesel engine
- High digging forces
- Strong hydraulic performance
- Compact dimensions
- True Zero Tail Swing
- Boom swing capability
- Standard dozer blade
- Operator-focused controls
- Advanced safety features
- Attachment flexibility
This makes the ViO80-1 a versatile solution for contractors requiring substantial excavation capability without moving to a conventional large excavator.
True Zero Tail Swing
Safer Operation in Tight Job Sites
Yanmar pioneered the concept of the True Zero Tail Swing mini excavator.
The ViO80-1's upper frame does not extend beyond the track width, giving operators greater flexibility when working in confined spaces.
The design is particularly useful for applications where the excavator must operate close to:
- Buildings
- Walls
- Roads
- Utility infrastructure
- Other machinery
- Site boundaries
- Construction obstacles
The catalogue specifies a tail swing radius of 1,135 mm for the cabin and steel-track configuration.
Standard Boom Swing
Flexible Excavation Around Obstacles
The ViO80-1 features a standard boom swing that provides the flexibility required for parallel digging alongside obstacles.
The boom can swing 60° to the right and 57° to the left, helping the operator perform excavation work alongside walls and other obstacles without repositioning the entire machine.
This feature is particularly useful for:
- Roadside excavation
- Utility trenching
- Foundation work
- Urban construction
- Excavation alongside buildings
- Infrastructure projects
Standard Blade
Grading, Dozing and Stability
The ViO80-1 is equipped with a standard blade designed for efficient dozing and grading.
The blade also provides additional stability during digging and lifting operations.
This gives contractors additional versatility without requiring a separate machine for basic grading and site preparation tasks.
Powerful YANMAR Engine
Reliable Power and Efficiency
The ViO80-1 is powered by the YANMAR 4TNV98-ZWBV2.
Engine Specifications
Engine Type: Vertical 4-cylinder water-cooled direct-injection diesel engine
Engine Model: 4TNV98-ZWBV2
Gross Rated Output: 39.3 kW / 52.7 HP
Rated Engine Speed: 1,900 rpm
The 4TNV98-Z engine incorporates electronically controlled direct injection and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technologies.
EGR Technology
The engine incorporates Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology.
The system partially cools exhaust gas before mixing it with intake air and circulating it back through the cylinder. According to the catalogue, this lowers combustion temperature and helps decrease NOx emissions.
Eco Mode
Designed for Lower Fuel Consumption
The ViO80-1's Eco Mode reduces engine speed to 90% of maximum speed, helping reduce fuel consumption while maintaining efficient machine operation.
Yanmar states that Eco Mode can reduce fuel consumption by 15%.
For contractors operating equipment for extended working hours, improved fuel efficiency can contribute to more economical machine operation.
Isochronous Control
The ECU controller helps maintain constant engine speed even when the machine is operating under high loads.
This contributes to smoother machine operation and allows the operator to work with reduced stress during demanding excavation tasks.
Auto Deceleration
The Auto Deceleration system automatically lowers engine speed to idle when the machine remains stopped for more than 4 seconds.
When the operator moves the operating lever, the engine returns to its original speed.
This helps reduce unnecessary engine operation during temporary periods of inactivity.
Strong Digging Performance
The ViO80-1 provides high digging forces for demanding excavation applications.
Maximum Bucket Digging Force
Up to 63.5 kN / 14,275 lbs
Maximum Arm Digging Force
Up to 40.8 kN / 9,172 lbs
The catalogue provides different figures according to configuration and operating conditions.
Excavation Performance
The ViO80-1 provides:
- Maximum digging depth: up to 4,680 mm
- Maximum vertical wall digging depth: up to 3,940 mm
- Maximum cutting height: up to 7,230 mm
- Maximum dumping height: up to 4,680 mm
- Maximum ground digging radius: up to 7,140 mm
These figures vary depending on configuration and whether the machine is equipped with a quick coupler.
Compact Dimensions
Despite its strong excavation performance, the ViO80-1 maintains a compact footprint.
For the cabin configuration shown in the catalogue, the machine width is 2,270 mm. The tail swing radius is 1,135 mm, while the minimum swing radius is 2,720 mm and minimum boom swing radius is 2,370 mm with the applicable configuration.
This combination helps the ViO80-1 operate efficiently in sites where space and maneuverability are important.
