2026 Yanmar SV08-1D

Small but mighty

Get big jobs done, even when the jobsite isn’t. Our smallest mini excavator is big on capability and has all the right tools to accomplish tough jobs in the tightest spaces including inside buildings. With an ultra-tight tail, low-noise operation, and incredibly clean and environmentally friendly Tier 4 powertrain, it’s perfect for indoor operation, residential neighborhoods, or where minimal disruptions are critical. Plus, with adjustable width tracks and a folding blade, it can work in the tightest gaps.

Adjustability to go work almost anywhere
The SV08-1D is already our most mini excavator, but it can crawl and work in even tighter confines thanks to an adjustable track and blade design that narrows to 27” (680 mm) and expands to 33” (840 mm) for additional stability. Plus, the compact body touts a turning radius of just 29” (735 mm) with a rear overhang of just 12” (305 mm).

Features May Include: 

Clean, reliable and efficient

• A proven twin-cylinder diesel engine touts an incredibly clean Tier 4 Final rating with 10.3-horsepower and is easily accessible for fast and simple routine maintenance.

Tight tail swing

• The compact design allows the counterweight to be attached tight to the house resulting in near-zero tail swing performance for tight jobsite capability.

Adjustable width tracks

• Get jobs done where other excavators simply can’t fit. The adjustable track design ranges from 33” (840 mm) to a narrow 27” (680 mm).

Two-way pattern control

• Easily change between standard operating pattern (excavator controls) to option pattern (backhoe controls) in just minutes.

Standard auxiliary hydraulics

• Power additional accessories with auxiliary hydraulic connections with an easy-to-use foot-control that provide precise flow control.

Protection that adapts

• Our rugged, foldable ROPS system keeps operators safe while allowing the SV08-1D to navigate narrow passages as tight as a standard doorway.
