Yanmar Celebrates 30 Years of Zero Tail Swing ViO Excavators Working Safely in Tight Locations
The launch 30 years ago of the Yanmar CE ViO range of compact excavators caused a sensation. Unlike other excavators of its kind at the time, the ViO at no stage of its rotation did the rear of the cab/superstructure extend beyond its tracks. This meant that the machines could operate in the tightest of spaces without fear of a rear collision with nearby buildings, vehicles – or people.
