Bobcat compact excavators give you absolute control of the boom, arm and bucket at all times, even in the most challenging work environments. The precise, intuitive controls give you the confidence to complete any job using your machine and save many hours of manual labour. These ergonomic, predictable controls are delivered through Bobcat's unique control valve system.

You can work in confined areas and squeeze through the tightest workspaces by retracting the tracks on Bobcat E08, E10e, E10z, E17, E17z, E19, E19e and E20z compact excavators. The hydraulically activated retractable undercarriage is the ideal solution for access through narrow gates and doorways.

Switch between two travel speeds on the fly for maximum productivity and getting around the job site with ease and maximum safety.

You don't need any tools to adjust the blade extensions on E08, E10e, E10z, E17, E17z, E19, E19e and E20z models. You can easily remove the blade extensions and store them directly on the blade structure.

For easier access to your work area: pass under branches, low openings and through doorways to get to your job site.

With Bobcat ergonomic controls, you will stay productive all day long. They help you control attachments with precision and flexibility, without feeling tired. Grade, level and backfill with less exertion. Then head to the next work area using the one-hand travel control... and adjust the arm rests for added comfort!

The hydraulic joystick control on Bobcat compact excavators ensures smooth, fluid operation, helping you operate at maximum efficiency.

The Bobcat E10e allows you to choose the position of your joystick controls: outward for comfort, or inward for passing through narrow openings.

Bobcat compact excavators feature soft-grip pilot control joysticks that provide the operator with effortless control of the boom and arm work group.

With Bobcat compact excavators, you'll find it easy to make maintenance part of your routine. Using Bobcat's simple industry-leading service access checkpoints, you can quickly carry out preventive maintenance. Use your shop time to finish the job instead of trying to gain access to checkpoints - you'll complete essential maintenance as scheduled and reduce your operating costs!

Bobcat designers have configured a centralised grease bank to make lubrication of the slew bearing and slew pinion fast and easy. With a large opening, it’s simple to reach the well-protected grease cylinder fitting and complete track tensioning.

Bobcat compact excavators are engineered to operate in the smallest of workspaces. All models feature the exclusive In-Track Swing Frame, which allows you to get closer to your work. The swing castings and cylinders stay within the tracks when you dig in an offset position.

On Bobcat E08, E10e, E10z, E17, E17z, E19, E19e and E20z models, vital machine components have additional protection from damage. The hydraulic cylinder is mounted on top of the boom to prevent accidental contact with the trench, bucket or any nearby obstacles. For 1-2T models, the boom cylinder might be further protected by cylinder guard.

To help maximize uptime, the cooling cores can be accessed easily through large service openings for quick, easy cleaning of the radiator.

Our tie-downs are easy to reach and apply, so you can secure the machine quickly and get on and off the job site faster.

Like all Bobcat machines, our compact excavators are designed to prevent problems before they occur. Electronics meet or exceed the most demanding specifications for sealing, moisture, shock and vibration. Automatic glow plugs deliver easier starts and ensure longer starter life, while battery run-down protection guards against vandals or forgetful operators.

Do you frequently work in confined areas, close to objects, or against a wall? On models with minimal and conventional tail swing, the rear of the house protrudes beyond the width of the tracks. To avoid this restriction and give yourself the greatest flexibility, choose a zero tail-swing model; the rear of the house stays within the width of the tracks through full rotation. With zero tail swing, you rotate and deposit soil where you need it, reposition the machine fewer times, and worry less about accidentally striking any surrounding objects.

With Bobcat ergonomic controls, you can stay productive all day long. They help you control attachments with precision and flexibility, without feeling tired. Grade, level and backfill with less exertion. Then head to the next work area using the one-hand travel control... and adjust the arm rests for added comfort!

Equipped with an electric motor, E10e is noticably quieter compared to its diesel counterpart, greatly improving the comfort of the operator.

Work in gardens or parks without risking damage to plants and property – no need to worry about hot exhaust fumes and smoke like a conventional engine would emit.

Following the daily working routine, the new E10e can operate throughout a full working day.

Using an external Supercharger functionality, the batteries can be recharged to 80% of battery capacity in around 1 hour.
