Dual Flange Roller System
Dual flange track rollers extend the undercarriage structure closer to the track’s edge so you can dig with greater confidence over the side of the machine.

Depth Check System
The Bobcat® depth check system delivers accurate dig depth measurement for precise digging performance, eliminating over-digging and the costs associated with backfilling and compacting fill material. R2-Series models are depth check ready.
Pro Clamp System
The Pro Clamp™ system consists of a base component, standard pin-on work tool and optional grading tool. Grab large, small or irregular objects with greater confidence. Create a smooth trench bottom and clean up spoil piles quickly.
Integrated Lift Eye
The lift eye is standard on R2-Series excavators to provide a convenient method for handling objects or moving items in and out of the trench.
