Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe (CEE) is to showcase its latest all-terrain tracked carrier and mini excavator at this year's Executive Hire Show.
The company is demonstrating its range on Stand K26 from 06-07 February in Coventry's Ricoh Arena.
The C08 Hi Tip tracked carrier features innovative pilot controls for user-friendly operation, as well as hydrostatic transmission with variable-flow injection pumps to ensure smooth power delivery.
Yanmar's ViO12-2A zero tail-swing mini excavator is ideal for operating in tight working environments with its light weight and clever distribution. It is equipped with the company's 3TNV70 diesel engine, and offers high working pressure (210 bar) and a pump flow of 2 x 11 l/min to deliver 13.9kN breakout force and 5.8kN tearout force.
David Cockayne, UK and Ireland sales manager at Yanmar CEE, said: "A key event in the national construction calendar, the Executive Hire Show provides an excellent platform to profile our rental-friendly compact equipment range.
"The C08 Hi Tip tracked carrier and ViO12-2A zero tail-swing mini excavator are just two Yanmar products renowned among rental professionals worldwide for their impressive performance and rental-tough design. We're looking forward to speaking with attendees about our wider range and its suitability for the equipment hire market."
