Clean Emissions
Building off the Yanmar reputation for clean, quiet, fuel
efficient and reliable compact diesel engines MINIMAX
has achieved compliance with 2008 EPA Tier 4 and EU
stage III A exhaust emissions regulations.
Reliable, Durable, and Quiet
MINIMAX offers enhanced noise and vibration
characteristics due to its Ladder Frame block design, a
stiffer crank and pistons and finer tolerance in the
journal. Gear noise reduction is achieved through an
improved gear tooth profile resulting in less mechanical
noise.
Fuel Delivery and Economy
A newly designed, in-line type fuel injection pump is
utilized to assure more precise fuel delivery, and control.
The result is reduced emissions, improved performance
over a wide range of applications and good fuel
economy which assures that Yanmar’s reputation for
superior starting characteristics continues.
Ultra-Compact and High Performance
MINIMAX offers best-in-class power density as
measured by the ratio of the engine’s output relative to
the engine’s overall external dimensions
Easy Installation
With 176 mm wide base, MINIMAX engines is an easy
replacement for most major applications in this
displacement category.
