Product Test: Bobcat Zero-Tail Delivers
Published on: 4 June 2025
EARTHMOVERS MAGAZINE: Always up for some time in the seat, I recently had the opportunity to get a “hands on” experience with the 5.5-tonne class Bobcat E55z mini excavator demonstration machine from Hamblys. We travelled to a secret location in the South West of England, where we were able to put the machine through its paces.
The initial Bobcat R-Series models were launched as far back as 2018 following a 5-year research and development period and made their first public appearance at the Intermat trade fair in Paris that same year.
The R-2 Series upgraded models were launched in October 2020 and longstanding readers may recall in 2021, I travelled to Kent based dealer Versatile Equipment to try out the conventional tailswing model the E60, so this was a great opportunity to try out and compare its zero-tail sister the E55z.
