Safety Operation

Excellent Right Forward View
The right corner of the machine has been lowered to improve visibility and safety. The normal blind spot on the front right of large machines is minimized to ensure a broad view from the operator station.

The Reversible Travel Lever and Seat Combination Raises Work Efficiency on Narrow Jobsites
The operator's seat and the travel levers turn 180 degrees together. The result is that the machine is always moving forward for the operator, achieving a safer work environment even on mountain paths or other restricted worksites where it is hard to turn the machine. This also reduces damage to environmentally sensitive areas because the operator does not need to make skid turns to exit a jobsite. The spacious leg room ensures easy operation and comfort.

Automatic Parking Brake is Incorporated in the Travel Lever
When the travel lever is shifted to neutral, the parking brake funcitons automatically. This prevents damage due to mis-operation and brake dragging, and takes the anxiety out of parking on slopes.

Safety Lever for Travel Lock
Travel is locked by raising the safety lever. The machine will not move even if the travel lever is touched by mistake.

Easy Operation and Easy Maintenance

Simple, Low Fatigue Hydraulic Pilot Travel Lever
The hydraulic pilot lever operation is light and easy. This means minimal fatigue for the operator even during long operation.

Constant Horsepower Mechanism Minimizes the Risk of Engine Stalling
The power and speed are controlled automatically according to the load. Engine stalling is less likely while traveling on slopes or turning during loading.

Automatic 2-Speed HST Transmission for Passenger Car-like Operation
Travel is easy with automatic speed change. In addition, the operator can lock the unit in low for additional safety on inclines, etc.

Ample Dumpling Angle of 65 Degrees for Sure Discharge
In addition to the 65 degrees dumping angle, the distance from the bottom of the loading platform to the ground has been extended to 2'2" (670mm). This enables sure and neat soil discharge with a single dumping stroke. The swivel dump, slope end vessel is also available as an option.

Platform for Easy Inspection and Servicing
The platform in front of the engine hood permits easy inspection and servicing access to the engine.

Tiliting Rear Mirror
The rear view mirror is on a flexible frame so it bends rather than breaks even in collisions with objects.

Adjustment-Free Travel Lever
The travel lever is hydraulic pilot type. There is no need to adjust the stroke or play as you would with a mechnical lever.

Clean and Silent

An Environmental Engine Inside
Clean exhaust and powerful output. The people-friendly Yanmar C&S (Clean and Silent) engines are approved under the emissions and the noise regulations of the EU (Europe) and the EPA (United States).
