Yanmar CE launches full line of compact equipment

Yanmar Compact Equipment, a Grand Rapids, Minnesota-based industrial machinery manufacturer, has launched its full line of compact equipment. The line is completed with the introduction of Yanmar compact track loaders, now available at dealer lots across North America. The four models complement Yanmar’s existing mini excavators, compact wheel loaders and tracked carriers.

The TL65RS-1C, TL75VS-1C and TL80VS-1C are construction-grade machines designed to provide durability for the construction, landscaping and rental industries, with 360-degree visibility, a work tool positioner, self-leveling and auto 2-speed capabilities.

Yanmar Compact Equipment North America’s new president, Anna Christine Sgro, says the introduction is a milestone that marks a significant step towards the company’s mission to become a global leader in the compact equipment market.

“This full range of equipment is built on trust developed over Yanmar’s 100 years as a company, 55 of those in compact equipment,” Sgro says. “Our dealers, customers and partners rely on us to deliver machines that are not only dependable but also help them grow their businesses. It’s part of our mission to continue building success and a richer experience for our stakeholders and customers.”

After years of ground-up development, the addition of the Premium Red compact track loaders to Yanmar’s compact equipment line expands options for operators looking to take advantage of Yanmar products in more aspects of their operations. It serves as a comprehensive range of products designed to meet the needs of professionals in industries ranging from construction, rental, landscaping, utility and more.

The full line was made possible due to significant investments Yanmar CE has made in North America that have increased production capacity by 50 percent over the last few years, the company says.

That includes a 32,000-square-foot facility expansion in Yanmar CE North America’s Grand Rapids, Minnesota, headquarters that allowed for a new powder coating paint system, extended assembly line and quality enhancements such as laser cutting tools, robotic welding and more. The company says the enhanced facility positions Yanmar to better serve customers in North America with improved production capabilities and quality.
