The increased power and convenient serviceability also add to the appeal of the RT-40 as a more productive, safer option than walk-behind and stand-on loaders. Additionally, the small-frame RT-40 showcases new comfort, visibility and performance features over its predecessor. It is a leading performer in applications that require work in tight spaces, including urban snow clearing and landscaping, making it an ideal rental product for homeowners, rental fleets and contractors.
“With the Yanmar-powered RT-40, we are doubling down on the machine’s performance, reliability and comfort, as well as making it easier for our customers to service the engine at ASV dealers,” says Buck Storlie, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America product manager. “The RT-40 is already a staple due to its ability to bring more power and productivity to limited-space work that may otherwise have required a fence removal or needed to be done by hand.”
It features a 48.3-inch width, an 8.4-foot lift height, a 931-pound rated operating capacity and a 7.1 mph top speed. The machine also has high tractive effort, exceptional pushing and digging power. The RT-40’s quick attach fits a variety of attachments and works with an optional adaptor plate for full-sized or walk-behind/stand-on loader attachments. Idler wheels have a full-metal-face seal package that increases the ROC to 1,008 pounds. In addition, the loader’s compact size allows it to be conveniently towed behind a 1/2-ton pickup truck.
The RT-40 comes standard with variable auxiliary hydraulic flow and can operate efficiently at a high auxiliary circuit flow rate, powered by 13.3-gpm of pump capacity and 3,000 psi of system pressure. Labor-intensive belt servicing is eliminated thanks to ASV’s signature use of a direct drive pump. This, along with the machine’s large line sizes and hydraulic coolers, transfers more flow and pressure directly to the attachment to help prevent power loss.
A highly efficient cooling system allows operators to get more out of their machine. The RT-40 is tested to operate at full load 100 percent of the time in ambient temperatures from -40 up to 118F.
