**CP Hire Expands Tracked Dumper Fleet with Versatile Yanmar Models**
CP Hire is continuing its investment in specialised equipment by adding four new tracked dumpers to its national rental fleet. These new machines include Yanmar’s compact C30R-3 and C30R-3TV models, along with the larger C50R-5A and C50R-5ATV carriers. Customers can choose between straight-tip or swivel-tip dump bodies, designed for transporting materials over soft or steep terrain where wheeled dump trucks may struggle. Tracked dumpers are particularly popular on construction, civil engineering, and landscaping sites for hauling loads across soft and muddy ground, reaching difficult locations.
**Compact C30R-3: Nimble Three-Sided Dumper for Tight Spaces**
The C30R-3 is a three-sided, straight-tip dumper that carries a payload of 2,500 kg within a compact machine measuring just 1.5 m wide and 3.28 m long. Its ability to spin turn through 360 degrees makes it ideal for confined job sites. Operators can tip material to the rear or either side, enabling safe unloading alongside trenches. The body’s 58-degree dump angle and 455 mm dump clearance enhance cycle times. A mudguard prevents spoil from falling onto hydraulic components and into the operator’s area.
Despite its small size, the C30R-3 is engineered for demanding conditions. Its steel-reinforced rubber tracks, larger sprockets, and extended track length distribute weight across 24 rollers, providing excellent ground pressure and enabling the dumper to function in deep mud. An anti-stall hydrostatic transmission automatically adjusts hydraulic pressure, allowing for smooth 360-degree turns in under ten seconds and enhancing manoeuvrability and driver comfort. Powering the machine is a Stage V Yanmar engine that utilizes exhaust gas recirculation, a diesel particulate filter, and eco-mode to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and fuel consumption.
Ease of use and safety have been prioritized in the C30R-3. Its proportional control system allows the machine to move only as far as the joystick is pushed, while a dual-speed switch lets operators select low or high travel speeds easily. Additionally, a reversible seat console enables the seat and travel levers to rotate 180 degrees, allowing operators to always face the direction of travel for better visibility and safer operation. The C30R-3’s Stage V engine delivers 32.5 kW and achieves a top speed of 11 km/h, with a gradeability of up to 30 degrees.
**C30R-3TV: Swivel Skip with Greater Dump Angle**
For projects that require sideways tipping, CP Hire’s fleet now includes the C30R-3TV. This variant features a dump body mounted on a frame that can rotate 90 degrees left and right (180 degrees), allowing operators to dump while driving alongside a trench. The C30R-3TV shares the same 1.5 m width and 360-degree spin-turn capability as the straight-tip model but offers an 85-degree dump angle and a 180-degree dumping mechanism, making it ideal for trenching or placing materials beside railway lines. This machine carries a 2,500 kg payload and is powered by a 32.5 kW Stage V Yanmar engine. Its robust undercarriage features 24 rollers and a ground clearance of 280 mm, enabling it to operate in muddy conditions and on slopes, while the hydrostatic transmission’s anti-stall feature ensures smooth, controlled turns.

**C50R-5ATV – Swivel-Tip Carrier for Larger Jobs**
The C50R-5ATV offers swivel-tip versatility in a larger class of crawler dumpers. With a payload capacity of 3,500 kg, it measures 2.2 m in width and 4.65 m in length. Like the straight-tip version, it can spin-turn 360°, and it features a reversible seat console that allows the operator to always face forward. The key difference lies in the dump body: it is mounted on a frame that rotates 180°, enabling operators to dump material while driving along a trench, which helps maintain a safe distance and increase productivity. The hydrostatic transmission with an anti-stall function ensures that the dumper can complete a full turn in seven seconds without stalling.
Yanmar has equipped the C50R-5ATV with advanced features to maximize uptime. The hydraulic auto-tensioning system reduces track-tensioning maintenance and uses free-moving carts to extend the undercarriage’s lifespan. The Stage V engine provides electronic control, direct injection, and eco-mode functions to minimize emissions, while a large fuel tank reduces refueling downtime. Comfort features include a modern cab with a suspension seat and an improved instrument panel, a digital interface that alerts the operator to maintenance requirements, and safety systems that meet ROPS/FOPS Level 1, featuring a protective grid and intelligent hose routing.

**Why CP Hire’s Investment Matters**
Tracked dumpers are becoming increasingly popular as they can transport materials across soft and muddy terrain where wheeled machines may get stuck. By adding Yanmar’s C30 and C50 carriers in both straight-tip and swivel-tip configurations, CP Hire can offer customers tailored solutions for nearly any job site. The smaller C30R-3/C30R-3TV models provide high productivity in confined spaces, while the C50R-5A/C50R-5ATV models offer greater capacity and comfort for longer haul cycles. Features like 360° spin-turning, 180° swivel beds, wide dump angles, and reversible operator stations allow users to work more safely and efficiently. Yanmar’s focus on low-emission Stage V engines, hydraulic auto-tensioning undercarriages, and modern digital interfaces further enhances reliability and reduces operating costs.
Now, customers across CP Hire’s network can hire these carriers for various tasks, including construction, civil engineering, landscaping, or agriculture. Whether moving spoil on a wet site, backfilling trenches, or transporting materials on steep slopes, there is a Yanmar tracked dumper suitable for the job.
