Yanmar Compact Equipment’s first compact track loader production model, the TL100VS, made its North American debut.
This expansion to Yanmar’s compact equipment offering is the culmination of four years of extensive research and development following the company’s acquisition of a U.S. manufacturing facility and engineering team focused on compact track loaders, according to Yanmar. The company adds that the TL100VS also signals Yanmar’s emergence as a comprehensive compact equipment solutions provider for its dealers, fleet customers and individual operators in the construction, utility and rental industries.
“It’s immensely satisfying to see these first machines roll off the line,” says Matt Deloglos, vice president of commercial at Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. “Our team has worked tirelessly towards this goal for the last four years with designing, testing and manufacturing these machines as well as getting the plant and our team ready to launch these products.”
The TL100VS is the first produced of Yanmar’s line of compact track loaders which includes the TL65RS, TL75VS and TL80VS. Ranging from 67 to 103.5 hp, the construction-grade machines are the perfect partner for midsize to heavy-duty projects, Yanmar says.
Each piece in the company’s compact track loader line feature durable bar-tread tracks, Tier-4 Final engines and convenient serviceability features, according to Yanmar. The loader line also rounds out the company’s compact equipment lineup already made up of mini excavators, compact wheel loaders and tracked carriers.
The remaining three new Yanmar compact track loaders are set for production later in 2024, the company says.
