E220

Large Excavator

Easily move heavy objects into and out of the trench with the cast push link with lift eye. 

Four selectable power modes give you adaptable performance to tackle the job as you see fit: 

• Power+ mode: Get top work group speed to load trucks in less time or sustain peak digging performance when opening up hard ground.  
• Power mode: Command impressive power and performance for tough digging, quick loading and heavy lifting, and save even more time with fast travel.  
• Standard mode: Get balanced performance and reduced fuel usage for routine digging, lifting and grading.  
• Economy mode: Optimize fuel economy when power demands are lower or when doing precise digging and fine grading. 

While in digging work mode, SPC matches load to engine rpm, hydraulic pump torque and engine response, improving efficiency in any of the four power modes. Operators can activate it in digging work mode, and they can turn it off whenever necessary.  

Designed with two variable displacement pumps, Bobcat large excavators deliver maximum hydraulic power for superior cycle times. This feature also enhances multifunctioning performance when operating attachments and the work group functions at the same time. 

A standard lift arm configuration of nearly 3 meters maximizes breakout forces and provides plenty of reach for all types of  digging and lifting tasks.

Designed for high torque at low rpm, the turbo-charged Tier 4 compliant Bobcat engine is made for reliable, efficient performance on your most challenging jobs. Turbo-charged performance ensures consistent torque levels, regardless of the elevation where you work. 
 
With no diesel particulate filter (DPF) on the E145, E220 and E245, there’s no work stoppage due to DPF regeneration. Plus, there’s one less component for easier maintenance.

Variable speed control improves fuel efficiency by automatically reducing engine rpm during low workload requirements, such as the slew portion of a dig cycle. 

Save fuel and lower noise to improve operator comfort and jobsite communications. Standard auto idle reduces the engine idle speed automatically when machine movement stops for several seconds. When you move the joystick controls or initiate travel, the engine automatically returns to the previously set throttle position. 

When turning, pushing and maneuvering, auto shift improves machine responsiveness and controllability by shifting to low range automatically when the load is high. When the load diminishes, auto shift goes back to high range. All you need to do is control speed and direction.

For tough work that requires the best possible lift capacity, the conventional tail swing of the E165 and E220 provides impressive performance and strength to get the job done.

Lift heavier loads and tackle tough digging faster. Or get through heavy attachment work with greater ease. The standard counterweight optimizes your lift capacity and heightens your productivity.

When enabled, auto shutdown saves fuel and machine wear by automatically shutting the machine off after idling for a set amount of time. The default shutdown interval is five minutes, and it can be extended with the touch display settings. 

Get increased ground clearance and maneuverability in softer ground with the X-frame undercarriage. It has sloped surfaces that shed debris to prevent material buildup and reduce the time you spend cleaning the undercarriage. 

The reinforced D-channel design of the upper structure frame adds strength to better withstand side impacts and protect machine components. 

The cooling system design features an oil cooler and radiator that independently control the hydraulic system and engine temperatures for maximum cooling capacity. You’ll get better cooling in severe conditions and improved protection of critical components. 

The hydraulic oil cooler’s variable speed cooling fan adjusts its speed as required by the demands on your excavator. This maintains optimal temperature in severe working conditions while reducing noise and increasing efficiency in lighter-duty situations. 

An air-to-air fuel cooler reduces fuel temperature to optimize fuel efficiency while improving engine component life. 

The automatic belt tensioner maintains constant tension on the engine accessory belt, compensating for regular wear and maintaining the performance you demand. 

Hard-wearing castings on the arm and boom along with pivot points constructed of forged steel ensure you can handle the toughest digging and harshest materials. Smart routing of hydraulic lines minimizes the points of potential impact to further enhance durability. 

To protect cooling performance and ensure long engine life, a honeycomb-style mesh protects the engine air intake and minimizes dirt accumulation in the engine area.  

Heavy-duty, wear-resistant plates at the end of the machine arm increase durability at the bucket pin-up point. 

To reduce operating costs and eliminate downtime, pin links are permanently sealed and never need additional lubrication.

Drive motors are recessed within the track width, keeping them protected from jobsite hazards. 

Every major pin point on the boom and arm is cast. Reinforced cast steel pin bosses provide extra strength for the tough working conditions you encounter on your job. Internal work group gussets enhance the integrity of the boom and arm structures to maximize their service life.
