YANMAR Construction Equipment Co. Ltd., a division of YANMAR America Corporation, created quite a stir at the March Con Expo in Las Vegas with the introduction of their new V3-6 and V4-6 Compact Wheel Loaders. These new loaders are based on a user friendly design philosophy focused on the three major elements demanded in wheel loaders for today's highly competitive construction market:
The V3-6 and V4-6 also offer reduced overall height for improved access to shipping containers. This lower profile also improves the machine's center of gravity promoting greater stability in the process. 
A fully automatic drive mode allows the V4-6 - 7,651 lb (base canopy model) loader and the V3-6 - 6,750 lb ( base canopy model) to accelerate smoothly and change gears with no operator input. A fixed speed mode keeps these machines in low gear regardless of the position of the accelerator pedal.
Power comes from YANMAR's highly regarded TNV series engine. The 3-cylinder, water cooled diesel used on the V3-6 generates 30.3 hp and can propel this compact loader up to 11.8 mph. The V4-6 is powered by the 40.4 TNV YANMAR diesel resulting in a top speed of 11.8 mph. A wide engine cover allows easy access to these power plants for routine maintenance requirements.
Driving force is transmitted evenly to the ground thanks to a system of rear axle oscillation. Designed for irregular surfaces, this feature reduces operator fatigue and ensures driver control of the equipment. Combined with a full 10" of ground clearance on the V3-6 and 12" of ground clearance on the V4-6, these loaders boast unlimited access to any and all parts of the jobsite. Single lever operation places the bucket on the ground and at the ready. Actual bucket movement is fast, smooth and consistent. Lifting capacity is at a hefty 5,760 with the V3-6 and 7,451 lbs with the V4-6. Forward and reverse loader movement is also activated by a column-shifted lever with a safety lock so the loader cannot accidentally travel in the wrong direction. A parking brake is provided to secure a static position for a more stable work platform. This brake can only be released by pulling the prescribed lever to enhance job-site safety. The V3-6 and the V4-6 replace the V3-5 and the V4-5. For more information on the new YANMAR V4-6 Compact Wheeled Loader click on the “More Information” link below.
