Compact Excavator Models
Top Features & Benefits:
Whether you’re looking for exceptional value or leading innovation, there’s a Bobcat compact excavator that’s right for you. Each model delivers impressive digging power, depth and reach, with smooth and precise controls that make it easy to deploy its leading performance and attachment versatility.
Low Effort Joysticks
Low-effort joysticks in R2-Series excavators respond easily to operator input, helping operators work longer with less fatigue.
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.
Multiple Arm Configurations
Multiple arm configurations are available on select models, including standard, long and extendable. Depending on the reach, depth, power, and lifting performance you need, there’s an arm to meet your job requirements.
Premium Cab
Premium comfort gives you the endurance to power through long days and tough jobs. When you step inside the Bobcat compact (mini) excavator cab, you’ll experience plenty of headroom and legroom, clear visibility, a larger suspension seat and more.
Touch Display
The most advanced in-cab display for compact equipment – optional on R2-Series excavators – provides detailed machine information and unprecedented device connectivity. View machine performance information on the wide touchscreen.
Depth Check
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 Clampâ„¢ 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.
New Depth Check System
For Easy and Efficient Digging
Bobcat has updated its depth check system to help you dig more efficiently by measuring and tracking depth, grade and slope – all from the comfort of your excavator cab. Forget setup hassles and manual measurements. Leave behind the tape measure or "stick" receivers. The depth check system prevents under-digging and over-digging while keeping you on grade – reducing rework and saving valuable time.
