Yanmar Compact Equipment
Ultra-compact. Exceptionally versatile. Effortlessly intuitive. Yanmar CE introduces the new SV10 mini excavator – a next-generation solution designed to meet the evolving demands of the fast-growing 0–2 tonne segment in AOLA (Asia, Oceania, and Latin America) region
Yanmar Compact Equipment has launched the new SV10 mini excavator, a highly compact machine designed to perform in the most space-restricted environments. Developed for the evolving demands of the 0–2 ton segment, the SV10 focuses on delivering precise control, ease of operation and dependable performance across a wide range of applications.
Designed for professionals across construction and urban infrastructure, rental and fleet operations, as well as municipal and landscaping applications, the SV10 provides a practical solution where space is limited but performance remains essential.
Built for confined spaces
At the heart of the SV10 is its exceptional compactness. With an overall width of just 740 mm in its narrowest configuration, the machine can pass through standard doorways and operate in tight indoor or urban environments with ease. A variable undercarriage allows operators to extend the width to 990 mm for enhanced stability when required, offering the flexibility to adapt to different working conditions.Its small swing radius, combined with a 60° boom swing, delivers precise control and positioning in highly restricted areas. From indoor renovation and demolition to urban works and other sensitive environments where precision and minimal disruption are essential, the SV10 is designed to operate where larger machines cannot reach.
Versatile performance across applications
Despite its compact footprint, the SV10 delivers strong and reliable performance. Powered by a Yanmar 3TNV70 engine delivering 9.2 kW of net power, the machine achieves digging forces of 5.5 kN (arm) and 10.3 kN (bucket), alongside a maximum digging depth of 1,760 mm. A wide working range and compatibility with multiple attachments enable the SV10 to adapt to a variety of tasks, from trenching and landscaping to light demolition and utility work. Such versatility makes it well suited to contractors managing diverse projects, as well as rental companies seeking to maximize fleet utilization.Engineered for ease of use
Ease of operation has been central to the SV10’s development. Improved ergonomics, including repositioned side levers and intuitive controls, ensure a smooth and comfortable user experience, even for less experienced operators. This is particularly valuable in rental environments, where machines must be quickly understood and safely operated by users with varying skill levels. A robust ROPS structure enhances operator safety, while the machine’s intuitive layout supports confident, all-day operation.Efficiency that keeps work moving
The SV10 has been designed to maximize uptime and minimize operational disruption. With an operating weight of 1,155 kg, the machine is easy to transport between sites and quick to deploy, supporting efficient workflows for contractors and rental fleets alike.Straightforward maintenance, including a tilting engine bonnet for fast access to key components, reduces service time and keeps machines in operation longer. Combined with Yanmar’s proven engine reliability and a design focused on low total cost of ownership, the SV10 delivers dependable performance over time.
Built with you in mind
Finished in Yanmar’s distinctive Premium Red and built with the company’s signature engineering quality, the SV10 reflects a commitment to machines that respond directly to customer needs. Compact in size yet capable in performance, it is designed to support operators in delivering precise, efficient work across a wide range of applications.With its combination of agility, reliability and adaptability, the SV10 sets a new benchmark for performance in the ultra-compact excavator class.
