1130 Bobcat is showcasing its new 2-4 tonne compact excavators which it says provide better operator comfort, improved controllability and smoothness of all working functions.

The company’s E26 has a transport weight reduced by around 40kg, increased over-the-side lifting capacity and a robust workgroup with a cylinder-inside-boom feature.

Bobcat’s Zero House Swing E27z aims to deliver higher 360-degree stability and a lower weight for easier transportation. The model also features an optional long arm and deluxe cab to assist with digging output and operator comfort in larger excavators. 

In addition, the E27 is designed with the intention of combining improved stability, digging performance and breakout forces with a transport weight below the limits for appropriate trailers. The machine provides 280mm tail overhang, allowing it to operate in confined spaces.
