R2-Series: The Mini Excavator That Will Revolutionize Your Work

Published on December 10, 2020

Think all mini excavators are the same? You’re not alone. A quick scan of products on the market today reveals dozens of machines that promise to dig trenches, grade and finish and demolish whatever you might need.

At Bobcat, we think it’s time for a revolution in excavators. In fact, we’ve already started one: Our R2-Series compact excavators go beyond the plain vanilla features you find on other machines, and come packed with super-responsive hydraulics, amazing lift capacity, eye-popping arm- and bucket-strength and a spacious interior.

With the R2-Series excavators, we’re not only revolutionizing the definition of standard. (We think you deserve more.) We’re also revolutionizing the way you work and the experience you have while working.

Precise Movements and Control

We improved the controls in Bobcat R2-Series excavators to operate like an extension of you, with a precision you’ve never experienced before. Move the ultra-responsive joysticks and watch the arm flex, grip, dig and swing like it’s part of your own body. It’s all thanks to the R2-Series’ new, revolutionary hydraulic control valve, which puts every hydraulic movement under your control.
