About · Yanmar SV16

Overview

The Yanmar SV16 is a compact mini-excavator with an operating weight of 1730 kg and an engine output of 17 hp, placing it in the sub-2-tonne excavator class. It is manufactured by Yanmar, a brand with established recognition in the compact construction equipment segment. The machine's dimensions and weight make it a practical choice where site access and transport logistics are primary constraints.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mini-excavators in the sub-2-tonne class are commonly deployed on residential groundworks, utility trenching, and landscaping projects where confined access limits the use of larger equipment. Their reduced footprint also makes them suitable for indoor demolition work and urban infrastructure maintenance. The 17 hp power output is consistent with light-to-medium digging and material-handling tasks typical of this equipment category.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used mini-excavator of this class, buyers should evaluate the condition of the undercarriage, including rubber tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as these components represent a meaningful portion of ownership costs. The boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings should be checked for play indicating wear. Engine hours, service history documentation, and hydraulic system integrity, particularly for any signs of seal leakage, are standard due-diligence items. Cab condition, auxiliary hydraulic function, and the operational status of all controls should be confirmed prior to purchase.

Current market

Price position

The European market average asking price for the Yanmar SV16 is EUR 18,900. Direct competitors in the same weight and power class include the JCB 16C-1 and the Kubota U17, meaning buyers have a defined peer group against which to benchmark condition, specification, and value when evaluating individual units. Pricing for used examples should be assessed in relation to these competing models to determine relative market positioning.
