Yanmar Unveils Newest ViO38-7 and ViO33-7 Mini Excavators


The ViO38-7 and ViO33-7 mark the latest advancements to Yanmar’s iconic zero-tail swing excavator range. Replacing the existing ViO38-6 and ViO33-6, these next- generation models boast improved performance, efficiency and operator comfort – all wrapped in a sleek and compact ‘Premium Red’ package.

The new Yanmar ViO38-7 and ViO33-7 offer substantial upgrades over their predecessors. The ViO38-7, with an Operating Weight (OW) of 3,585 kg, delivers a bucket digging force of 32.8 kN at 2,200 rpm. The lighter ViO33-7, at 3,265 kg OW, provides 30.69 kN of digging force, meaning that both of these highly compact units can handle demanding tasks in tight spots with ease. Both machines also benefit from hydraulic system improvements and an 18.5 kW Yanmar engine, resulting in smoother, faster operations and a 7% improvement in excavation efficiency compared to their previous counterparts.

The boom swing angle has been improved to the left side of the machine, with an effect on the turning radius of both units; resulting in a reduction of 115 mm compared to previous models, and providing operators with greater versatility and a wider working range. Improvements to the travel motor and hydraulic pump also enhance the efficiency of earth removal work. Combined, these updates allow the excavators to travel faster on slopes, reducing overall travel time. The ViO33-7 now offers a maximum speed of 4.8 km/h – a 7% increase in speed on level ground – and a 25% improvement in speed under load.

The ergonomically redesigned cabins provide a more spacious and quieter environment, boosting both safety and comfort during long working hours. Meanwhile, a new 4.3-inch color display adds a modern touch to the inside of the cabin, while key updates like optimized air conditioning vents and accessible storage options further refine the operator experience. These thoughtful enhancements make the ViO38-7 and ViO33-7 ideal for operators seeking both functionality and comfort across a wide range of job sites.
