E88 Features
Performance
16
Smooth operation
Low effort joysticks coupled with the new generation control valve make the workgroup feel like the extension of the operator’s arm. Improved metering and dual slope control curves are developed for operators of all skills and experiences.
Arm Configurations
Choose the arm configuration that best meets your needs. The standard arm offers maximum arm breakout force. Equip your machine with the optional long arm for added reach and dig depth. Both arms are clamp-ready.
Selectable Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow
The E88 is equipped with selectable auxiliary hydraulics. Choose multiple flow rates: low flow for precise control, medium flow for placing and handling materials, or maximum flow for peak hydraulic attachment performance.
Two-Speed Travel
Choose between two travel speeds to increase your speed around your jobsite and increase your productivity.
Dual Direction Detent
The Dual Direction Detent system provides continuous flow for attachments in either direction, allowing you to simplify operation and operate attachments without continually having to press a button.
Fingertip Boom Swing and Auxiliary Control
The left joystick gives you superior boom-swing control with better metering than foot pedals. The right joystick provides perfect attachment control. Multi-tasking, such as swinging and traveling simultaneously, is more manageable.
Blade Float
Our mission is to make your work easier! The Blade Float simplifies grading, leveling and backfilling jobs. Blade float exerts a minimal, consistent down-force on the blade, with minimal operator input.
Auto Idle
After 4 seconds, your E88 automatically idles the engine until you start work again. The E88 returns to the previous throttle position right away when you move the joystick or initiate travel. Auto idle can be set to on or off to suit your work.
Auto Shift
The E88 features superb travel performance without having to downshift manually. The Auto Shift automatically transitions to and from high range, producing greater tractive effort when you need it. Simply select the travel speed range you want, and go.
Superior stability
The E88 has been designed to achieve superior 360-degree stability even when digging over-side or handling heavier loads. The improved counterweight design, longer tracks, and dual flange rollers guarantee class-leading front and over-side stability.
Powerful and clean engines
The time-proven D24 engine - now in a new Stage V compliant with improved performance characteristics - is used in thousands of Bobcat machines worldwide.
Excellent controllability
The E88 feels like an extension of the operator’s hands with state-of-the-art technology. It features the latest generation main control valve and proportional thumb-controlled boom swing offset – combined with Bobcat’s traditional high performance.
Take on Jobs of any Size
Professionals know the value of matching their equipment to the work at hand. Bobcat’s lineup includes a range of options to meet the needs of every job. E88 features a low overhang over the track profile for easy access to the task.
Legendary Productivity
Get more done with less effort thanks to Bobcat's signature high productivity. Fast cycle times, high digging forces, and superior front and side stability are the name of the game.
Take It Anywhere
Don’t let its impressive power fool you: the E88 remains surprisingly transportable. You can load it onto a standard hook lifter container truck thanks to its thoughtfully designed dimensions and tie-down points.
HVO Ready
E88 Mini Excavator is compatible with HVO Biofuel. HVO biofuel serves as a cleaner, greener alternative to conventional diesel, offering enhanced performance and environmental benefits.
Comfort
9
Spacious Cab
Enjoy ample space and legroom inside the cabin, ergonomic interior design, easy access to critical controls, and optional comfort features such as a heated seat with a high back and headrest.
360- degree visibility
The best-in-class panoramic visibility is the keystone to working precisely and safely. Features such as powerful demisting, LED lights and an optional rear view camera ensure that the operator is fully aware of the working area around the machine.
Cab Comfort
The E88 continues the Bobcat tradition of comfortable machines with a design focused on the operator. Enjoy more cab space, easy-to-operate controls, advanced climate control with optional automatic air conditioning, and lower noise levels.
Ergonomic Controls
Stay productive all day long with Bobcat ergonomic controls. Grade, level, and backfill with less effort. Then head to the next work area using the one-hand travel control and adjust the arm rests for added comfort.
Hydraulic Joystick Control
The hydraulic joystick control on Bobcat compact excavators ensures smooth, fluid operation, helping you operate at maximum efficiency.
Soft Grip Joysticks
Bobcat compact excavators feature soft-grip pilot control joysticks that allow the operator to control the boom and arm work group effortlessly.
Displays
See and control everything important on the standard 5-inch display or the optional 7-inch touch screen with Bluetooth, hands-free calling, and media streaming. You can also automatically switch to Dark Mode in low light.
Easy Entry & Exit
Ensure comfortable and safe entrance into the machine with a special type of 3D handle and extra-large composite entry step tread. The raised left joystick console does not restrict the wide door.
Rotary Speed Control Knob
The rotary knob on Bobcat compact excavators adjusts more easily than a lever, enabling you to make smoother throttle adjustments and operate with more precise control.
Serviceability
2
Panoramic Serviceability
Quickly carry out preventative maintenance using Bobcat's simple industry-leading service access checkpoints. Complete essential maintenance as scheduled and reduce your operating costs with ease.
Do It Yourself
Take care of everyday maintenance and even minor repairs without leaving the job site, thanks to the accessible and cleverly positioned service points and large covers.

In-Track Swing Frame
The E88 is engineered to operate in the smallest of workspaces. Get closer to your work with the exclusive In-Track Swing Frame. The swing castings and cylinders stay within the tracks when you dig in an offset position.
