POWERFUL HYDRAULICS

Hydrostatic high-pressure transmission helps maximise productivity, thanks to the hydrostatic drive technology we employ that delivers smooth power development without any interruption of traction. In addition, the third-section hydraulics work completely independently of the hydraulics for transmission and can be used to operate the hydraulic quick coupler and common work tools. Use the additional control circuit (fourth section) for operation of special attachments which require hydraulic oil flow. The fourth section is also available with an optional high flow function.

ARTICULATED STEERING

Reliable, stable, and highly, highly manoeuvrable. That’s the articulated steering function on the V120, with its 40° steering angle. Even if your steering is at full lock, the bucket will still approach loads head on. So it’s perfect for picking up or setting down pallets in tight spaces. You’ll also enjoy stability in the wheelbase, with all four wheels pointing in the same direction to protect lawns and pavements. And you’ll save on tyre wear with the short turning circle.

OSCILLATING REAR AXLE

We never forget our obligations towards our operators, particularly around health and safety. That’s why all four wheels of the V120 remain in constant contact with even the toughest ground. That’s down to the oscillating rear axle’s wide slewing angle of 10 degrees. With some manufacturers, the whole back end oscillates. This is destabilising as the bucket and the machine are moving in different directions. With just our rear axle oscillating, we get around this problem.

PARALLEL KINEMATICS

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to concentrate only on setting down your load precisely where you want it? Not having to worry about constantly adjusting the loading angle when lifting loads? Parallel kinematics is the answer. Our system takes care of the stroke angle, allowing you to set down your load with precision. Parallel kinematics can also optimise work cycles when loading and unloading the second row on a truck, stopping the tilt-control lever from hitting the body of the truck.

SMART CONTROL

Once you’ve set up individual drivers in our Smart Control system, their settings get committed to memory. So operators start work quickly, using settings they’re most comfortable with. It’s simple to use, too. If you can use a smartphone‘s tiled interface, you can use Smart Control. On the 3.5-inch display, you can clearly read machinery and engine data, while the windscreen domes inwards to minimise the mirror effect. There’s a keypad with extra-large keys for further ease of use.

OPERATOR STATION

At Yanmar, our machines are designed with user-experience in mind, so we offer driver comfort that makes for greater productivity. We built the cabin of the V120 with noise and vibration damping and ensured it’s ROPS/FOPS-approved. We want you to stay safe on site, so we provide large windows, and a door on each side of the cabin offers both ventilation and better communication with colleagues. There’s even adjustable hydraulic suspension on the operator’s seat for a smooth ride.

TRAVEL SPEED

There’s plenty of power available in the V120, but that’s not at the expense of fuel consumption. It’s a balancing act that we’ve pulled off well thanks to our hydrostatic travel drive. And on the road? You can expect to reach 20 km/h en route to the next job site, but if you need more power, you might consider our high-speed version, with a top speed of 36 km/h.

BRAKE INCHING PEDAL

To improve the cycle time of digging and loading operations, you’ll need to slow the loader while keeping the engine rpm up. You can do this with our brake inching pedal, which fine-tunes the hydraulic performance. The brake inching pedal also avoids excessive tyre wear and wheel spin.

EASY MAINTENANCE

Open the engine hood and there’s plenty of clutter-free room to get to all the key components, including engine oil, water and filters. This makes daily maintenance easy and fast. This will help reduce the total cost of ownership of the machine. And being able to perform routine tasks from ground level saves time and contributes to safety.
