Yanmar Compact Equipment debuts new compact track loaders

Yanmar Compact Equipment launched a new line of compact track loaders at ConExpo

The TL65RS, TL75VS, TL80VS and TL100VS are construction-grade machines that range from 67 to 103.5 horsepower (50 to 77kW).

“These new compact track loaders create a full line of compact equipment and we are excited to bring more value to the market with the reliable products we’re known for,” Yanmar Compact Equipment product manager Buck Storlie says.

“Customers love our mini excavators for their quality construction and trusted performance in any conditions and now those benefits will be available in our compact track loaders.” 

Operators have 360-degree visibility and a standard suspended seat for enhanced comfort. A removable roof hatch escape offers an optimised safety feature for operators. 

The models also include several optional efficiency-enhancing features to improve the operator experience and overall productivity. These include a work tool positioner, return-to-position technology, self-leveling, ride control and auto two-speed capabilities. These intuitive features help improve productivity on the jobsite and level out the learning curve for new operators to expedite the training process. 

The loaders incorporate Yanmar’s optional SmartAssist telematics from the company’s mini excavator line. Features range from error detection and notification to real-time operational status updates and daily work reports. SmartAssist also includes integrated theft protection, allowing the machine’s owner to set a range from a specific location and trigger an alert if that range is exceeded. A state-of-the-art, touchscreen 7-inch (17.8cm) colour display also comes standard with each of the new compact track loaders for improved convenience on the jobsite. 

Each machine will have a two-year/2,000-hour warranty and a suspended undercarriage with a pivot link system at the rear axle. This linkage technology uses a spring load to reduce oscillation and stabilise the machine, helping to improve material retention and ride quality.

“As specialists in the compact equipment market, we designed these compact track loaders to be the whole package,” Storlie says.

“Our engines are already preferred on a wide array of compact equipment and we’re committed to upholding our reputation for excellence and reliability as Yanmar expands into the compact track loader realm.” 

The TL100VS will start production soon, while the other three machines will begin production in late 2023.
