Bobcat E55 Compact Excavator Features
Faster Cycle Times
Operators often tell us that a Bobcat compact excavator can work and dig faster. Responsive and precise controls engage powerful work group functions for fast cycle times. Advanced hydraulics are finely tuned to deliver maximum hydraulic horsepower.
Auto Shift
Get superb travel performance – without the need to manually downshift – with auto-shift travel. Automatically transitions the travel motors to and from high range for greater tractive effort and ease of use. Simply select the travel speed range and go. A directional lug track also provides a smoother ride and less vibration when traveling
Predictable Control
Bobcat compact excavators help you confidently make precise movements – so you can leave hand tools behind on jobs that require finesse. Bobcat-exclusive control valve systems deliver smooth operation without sacrificing cycle times. Fingertip controls for auxiliary hydraulics, boom swing and angle blade make multi-functioning easier.
Non-DPF Engine
Most competitor compact excavators require a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to meet emissions standards. Bobcat compact excavators meet emissions standards without a DPF. DPF regeneration can interrupt work, and cleaning leads to more downtime and maintenance.
Sealed Connectors
Jobsites can be dirty, dusty and wet. Bobcat electrical systems are made for it. More sealed connections than in other manufacturers’ machines. Watertight and corrosion resistant.
Protected Components
Compare Bobcat compact excavators to other machines, and you’ll see a thoughtful design that stands up to common jobsite challenges. More steel hydraulic lines, which are more durable than rubber hoses. Hydraulic lines are routed to prevent costly damage from impacts in the trench. Well-designed mounts and minimal fittings stand up to heavy-duty work. Cast pivot joints provide precise pin alignment for longer life of pivot pins and bushings.
Clear Visibility
When you have clear visibility to your work area, your productivity can take off. Cabs with narrow cab pillars and more glass surface area. Cabs with narrow cab pillars and more glass surface area. More visibility to the work group and angle blade.
Operator-Friendly Controls
Bobcat compact excavators have simple, ergonomic controls that keep you productive all day long. More controls at your fingertips for precision, flexibility and low fatigue. Newly designed joysticks fit better in your hands.
Maximum Headroom and Legroom
Inside the cab of a Bobcat compact (mini) excavator, you have plenty of space to work comfortably. Designed for all-day comfort. Wide suspension seat. More floorspace.
Depth Check
Prevent over- or under-digging. The Bobcat depth check system makes it easy to achieve an accurate dig depth without exiting your mini excavator. Operators set a desired digging depth and work against that benchmark. Sensors detect the exact position of the bucket's teeth. Audible alerts indicate whether the operator is approaching, at or beyond the target.
Deluxe Display
The Bobcat depth check system integrates with Bobcat displays for compact excavators. Install easily with deluxe instrumentation, touchscreen or color display. Eliminate the need for an add-on display monitor.
Optional Laser Receiver
Get more flexibility to move around larger jobsites while using the depth check system. Bench off a laser signal rather than a fixed grade point. Compatible with optional CR600 and BLR 2 laser receivers.
