Phoenix Plant Sales Open Day: Get hands-on with Yanmar’s newest excavators

This summer, Phoenix Plant Sales Open Day will take place on the 11th and 12th of July in the dealership’s expansive Newport facility. Here, attendees can get up close and personal with the full spectrum of Yanmar Compact Equipment EMEA (Yanmar)’s compact machinery, including the just-released SV86-7 and SV100-7 midi excavators.
The event promises to attract significant interest from construction professionals, farmers, council authorities, and groundworkers alike. “Our open days are designed to broadcast our products and provide an interactive platform for our clients to experience firsthand the quality and efficiency of Yanmar’s equipment,” said Jason Derraven, Group Sales Director at Phoenix Plant Sales. “We are committed to demonstrating the advanced capabilities of our new products and offering updated information on our services and depot”.
Experience the full ‘Premium Red’ Yanmar range
Phoenix’s most popular Yanmar machines will be exhibited, including the classic ViO27-6 Zero Tail Excavator (2,770 kg Operating Weight (OW)), notorious for its exceptional performance and stability, as well as the ViO17 Zero Tail Excavator (1,830 kg), with its variable undercarriage making it simultaneously the narrowest and widest in Yanmar’s range. But it’s the all-new SV86-7 (8,675 – 8,695 kg OW) and SV100-7 (9,705 – 9,815 kg) midi excavators that are predicted to steal the spotlight for both new and returning customers.
The SV86-7 midi excavator stands out with the highest lifting capacity in its class, boasting lifting capacities of 1,290 kg (side) and 2,280 kg (front). It features a robust yet fuel-efficient 4TNV98CT turbo engine, delivering 50.8 kW at 1800 rpm, enhancing earthwork and hill-climbing performance while significantly reducing fuel consumption. Similarly, the SV100-7 midi excavator, powered by the same engine, offers remarkable lifting capabilities of 1,420 kg (side) and 2,390 kg (front). Both models feature Yanmar’s ViPPS2i system, a two-piston hydraulic pump designed to maximize performance and efficiency.
Phoenix Plant Sales will host its open days once per quarter, reflecting their dedication to maintaining strong community ties and customer relationships. Previous events have seen impressive turnouts, underlining the popularity and importance of these gatherings. 10 specialist team members, including experts in Sales, Service, Parts, and Warranty, will be on hand to provide demonstrations and “How To” sessions, ensuring that attendees receive comprehensive support and insights into Yanmar’s offerings.
Attendees are invited to step into the machines, try out the controls, and experience the exceptional performance and comfort of Yanmar equipment firsthand. The hands-on approach allows potential buyers to fully appreciate the advanced capabilities and user-friendly design of the machinery. As well as benefiting from special deals, including a 0% finance offer, making this an unmissable opportunity for those looking to invest in high-quality construction equipment.
Phoenix Plant Sales looks forward to welcoming industry professionals and showcasing the unparalleled performance and reliability of Yanmar machines. Join the team on the 11th and 12th of July, at Phoenix South Plant Sales, Unit 7A Nash Mead, Queensway Meadows, Newport NP19 4SU.
