YANMAR’s well-renowned and popular YDP series (Portable Diesel Water Pumps) has now been re-launched to facilitate water solutions to our esteemed customers worldwide. Well-equipped with emission-regulated air-cooled Yanmar L series engines, the YDP pumps are heavy-duty, CE certified, and readily available in both recoil and electric starting options.

The YDP series will now be produced in Italy as a strategic move since YANMAR’s L series engines are manufactured in Italy. Production of the pumps in the same place ensures faster and more efficient deliveries.

“Preceding models have pioneered prominent levels of durability and reliability, even in some of the harshest operating environments across the globe. However, newly designed and augmented models powered by exceptional quality YANMAR Stage V compliant engines, are best suited for the European market niche,” said Carlo Giudici, Sales and Marketing Director at YANMAR Europe.

With design and construction based on the concepts of cost efficiency and power, YANMAR’S YDP diesel pumps have indisputably underpinned a successful track record beyond European countries.

The new models, with a maximum capacity of 1750 liter/min, are best suited and adaptive to operating in various sectors such as construction sites, the agricultural sector, marine applications, and day to day water pumping requirements.

Among the prominent features of the newly designed YDP series are:

Carlo Giudici added: “Ease of maintenance is also a major attraction for operators, for instance, cleaning the casing internally requires only the removal of a few bolts.”
