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.
