Large Excavator Models
Top Features & Benefits:
Bobcat large excavators bring serious digging power and precision to your most demanding job sites. From commercial construction to land clearing, these machines are engineered to deliver high performance, operator comfort, and the reliability you need to keep working.
High-Performance Digging
Bobcat large excavators deliver impressive dig depth, reach, and breakout force across the entire model range. Powerful hydraulics ensure fast cycle times and precise bucket control — keeping productivity high on heavy earthmoving and trenching jobs.
Premium Cab Comfort
The spacious, climate-controlled cab is designed to keep operators productive through long shifts. Low-effort joysticks, clear sightlines, and an intuitive control layout reduce fatigue and improve precision — especially on complex, detail-intensive work.
Advanced Hydraulics
High-flow hydraulic circuits power a wide range of work tools with precision. Smooth, responsive control gives operators confidence on every task — whether it's digging hard pack, placing pipe, or running a hydraulic breaker or thumb.
Attachment Versatility
Bobcat large excavators are compatible with a broad lineup of work tools — hydraulic thumbs, couplers, rock buckets, breakers, and more. Switch applications quickly and adapt your machine to the job at hand without sacrificing performance.
Fuel Efficiency
Multiple engine power modes let operators match machine output to the task — reducing fuel consumption on lighter work without sacrificing power when the job demands it. Lower operating costs add up fast on long projects.
Built for Uptime
Ground-level service points, a clean engine compartment, and a simple maintenance schedule make Bobcat large excavators easy to keep running. Factory-authorized service at all Carleton Equipment locations means expert support is never far away.
