The "VIO" name means True Zero Tail Swing.
In 1993, YANMAR launched the world's first ZERO TAIL Swing excavator and is currently marketing the 4th generation model. The "VIO" development objective of turning within the machine width has been successfully achieved, while still maintaining the stability and work performance of a conventional style unit. There are 7 models in the "VIO" ranging from 3704 lbs through 17,530 lbs.
