The Yanmar VIO17 1.5 t excavator is a true zero tail swing mini excavator, meaning neither the counterweight nor the upper frame exceeds the width of the tracks, providing exceptional manoeuvrability in narrow and confined spaces. With a reduced overall width of just 950 mm, this excavator can operate efficiently where larger machines cannot, making it ideal for urban construction, landscaping and foundation work.

Its front swing radius with boom swing is only 1380 mm, allowing for work close to walls or obstacles. The rear swing radius is 640 mm, and the machine is designed to maximise safety and productivity by eliminating blind spots with all-round visibility. This compact yet powerful 1.5t excavator allows for safe operation in tight areas without obstructing traffic lanes, making it especially useful for site work in urban environments.

Operators benefit from the ability to work along walls or narrow alleys and transport the machine easily due to its reduced width. This excavator is also compatible with multiple bucket sizes and attachments such as hydraulic breakers and augers, adding versatility to the machine.
