Yanmar’s newest SV39 Mini Excavator

Yanmar Compact Equipment EMEA (Yanmar) has announced the launch of its SV39 Mini Excavator (3,670 – 3,885 kg Operating Weight), engineered with stability as its defining strength.

Designed for versatility, precision and ease of operation, the new unit is a confident addition to Yanmar’s compact excavator range and a trusted partner on the most demanding sites and applications. From civil engineering and construction to landscaping and municipal work.

According to Yanmar, the defining feature of the SV39 is its stability. Built with an optimized weight distribution and reinforced undercarriage, the machine stays rock-solid, even under heavy loads or on uneven terrain. A short arm and cabin configuration further enhances performance, delivering up to 20 per cent greater lifting capacity compared to typical machines in the same weight class. An optional additional counterweight (+160 kg) enhances balance further.

Engineered to handle larger and heavier attachments, the SV39 expands its application scope while maintaining consistent control. It’s tiltrotator-ready in both direct and sandwich mount, giving operators even more flexibility and functionality – particularly valuable for trenching, grading and landscaping jobs that demand maximum manoeuvrability, states Yanmar.

Under the hood, the SV39 is powered by a fuel-efficient Stage V 3TNV88-ESBV2 diesel engine, delivering 18.5 kW of net power at 2,200 rpm. A high-performance hydraulic system, comprising dual variable displacement pumps (two x 37.9 l/min) and a gear pump (26.7 l/min), ensures fast, responsive operation.

With a bucket digging force of 32.8 kN and arm forces of 20.8 kN (short) and 18.9 kN (long), the SV39 makes light work of demanding excavation tasks. A maximum digging depth of 3,520 mm and reach of up to 5,370 mm (long arm) help operators get more done, with fewer repositioning stops.
