Bobcat Company has expanded its lineup of compact excavators to include the newly released Bobcat E40. As part of the lineup expansion, Bobcat also has revised the model numbers for its 3-to-5-ton excavator lineup to more closely align with the industry's size class.
With the E40, operators get high performance, fast cycle times and optimal maneuverability with practical features and pricing to match, according to the manufacturer. It's a minimal tail swing excavator, with less than 2 in. of overhang and a standard long arm.
The E40's lift capacity is among the best in its class, according to Bobcat. The manufacturer added that the E40 delivers an over-the-blade lift capacity and over-the-side lift capacity that is usually only achieved with conventional tail swing models.
The E40 offers premium performance with simplified option packages for base-level pricing. Features of the new E40 include:
The E40 will be available in late 2023. Bobcat will preview the E40 in booth 3052 at Equip Exposition, Oct. 17 to 20, in Louisville, Ky.
With the introduction of the new E40, Bobcat has revised select model numbers in its 3-to-5-ton excavators' size class to better reflect the machines' size and performance within the industry.
"Our compact excavator lineup within the 3-to-5-ton size class has grown, and the updated model numbers better reflect the outstanding performance capabilities that empower our customers to accomplish more each and every day," said Mike Wetzel, director of product development at Bobcat Company.
"The updated portfolio more closely aligns with the excavators' capabilities when compared to other machines within the same size class."
The model number changes are as follows:
With these changes and the launch of the E40, the Bobcat 3-to-5-ton compact excavator lineup now includes: E32, E35, E38, E40, E48 and E55. Bobcat offers compact and larger excavators ranging from 1-2-ton to 16-18-ton size classes, as well as battery-electric excavator models.
