E55 Key Features

What Makes the E55 Different

49.7 HP Turbocharged Bobcat Engine

The E55 is powered by a 49.7-horsepower, turbocharged Tier 4 Bobcat 1.8L engine that delivers strong, consistent performance for demanding digging and lifting work. It meets emissions without a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or SCR, so there's no work stoppage for regeneration and fewer components to maintain.

Strong Digging & Lifting Performance

With 9,511 lbf of bucket digging force, 6,987 lbf of arm digging force, and 136.9" of dig depth on the standard arm, the E55 tackles deep trenching, foundations and heavy loading with fast cycle times and confident over-the-side stability.

Two Arm Options

Configure the E55 to the job: the standard arm for maximum digging force, or the long arm for added depth and reach — up to 152.7" of dig depth and 247.2" of reach at ground level — so you can dig farther and deeper without repositioning as often.

High Auxiliary Flow with Selectable Control

20 gpm of auxiliary hydraulic flow with selectable flow control lets the E55 run a wide range of attachments — augers, breakers, grapples, plate compactors and more — with arm-mounted aux couplers for faster, easier hookup.

In-Track Swing Frame & Protected Components

Bobcat's exclusive In-Track Swing Frame keeps swing castings and cylinders within the track width even when offset digging, while steel hydraulic lines and a durable design protect components for more uptime on the jobsite.

R2-Series Cab with LED Lighting

Tall, wide windows with an improved top window and narrow side pillars deliver class-leading visibility, while a suspension seat, generous legroom, and fold-away pedals keep operators comfortable all day. Standard LED lights plus a boom-mounted LED workgroup light keep you productive in low-light conditions.

Depth Check System

Achieve an accurate grade without leaving the cab using the Bobcat depth check system. It delivers precise dig-depth measurement that eliminates over-digging and the cost of backfilling and compacting, while preventing under-digging and the manual labor to finalize grade.

Machine IQ Telematics

Monitor your E55's location, health, and security status 24/7 from the Bobcat Owner Portal or Machine IQ mobile app. Remote engine disable/enable, geofence boundaries, motion alerts, fault code notifications, and maintenance reminders keep you in control wherever the machine works.

E55 Features & Benefits

Performance 6
Dual-Flange Roller System

Dig with confidence over the side of the machine and experience greater slewing ability thanks to the dual flange track rollers. Operators will also notice smoother, more comfortable ride quality while moving across bumpy jobsites.

Angle Blade

With the angle blade, you can configure your compact excavator's blade to the left or right up to 25 degrees to find the best position for your work. Left and right adjustments help you backfill and grade faster. Downward adjustments, available on some models, stabilize your excavator when digging on an uneven surface or trenching at an angle.

Integrated Lift Eye

The integrated lift eye, standard on R2-Series excavators, gives you a convenient method for handling objects or moving items in and out of the trench.

Redesigned Bobcat Engine

Redesigned for reduced and simplified routine maintenance, the Bobcat engine on R2-Series excavators delivers the performance you expect. The innovative fuel system, which is more forgiving when fuel levels are low, keeps you working longer. Improved cold-weather operation keeps you productive.

Depth Check System

Achieve an accurate grade every time without leaving your cab by using the Bobcat depth check system. Efficient and easy to use, the system delivers accurate dig depth measurement for precise digging performance. It eliminates over-digging and the costs associated with backfilling and compacting fill material. It also prevents under-digging and the resulting need for manual labor to finalize depth or grade.

Blade Float

Simplify grading and leveling. Blade float exerts a minimal, consistent down-force on the blade, with minimal operator input.

Comfort 2
Low-Effort Joysticks

Low-effort joysticks in R2-Series excavators respond easily to operator input, helping operators work longer with less fatigue. They're equipped with fingertip boom swing and auxiliary control, providing quick, precise movement with low effort.

Standard Display

Experience full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities from inside the cab with the easy-to-read display. Standard on R2-Series excavators, the detailed full-color display provides access to diagnostic and operation information, allowing you to operate your compact excavator more efficiently and solve problems in the field.

Uptime Protection 2
Simple Machine Tie-Down

Get on and off the jobsite faster. Secure your load quickly, without searching for hard-to-reach tie-downs.

Rear Camera

Get a better view of your jobsite with the optional rear camera on R2-Series excavators. It offers a continuous rear view from the operator's seat, providing an additional viewpoint to the working area in some applications. The camera is mounted high and out of the way to prevent contact with obstacles and debris. A protective structure further ensures rear display reliability.

Serviceability 2
Longer-Life Fuel Filter

Larger fuel filters in R2-Series excavators provide better system protection and longer life before replacement. With more than double the media surface area, it has more holding capacity to capture impurities for longer intervals. The filter is also easier to change and includes a clear water bowl for easy monitoring and a sensor to notify you when draining is needed.

Increased Engine Oil Service Intervals

The recommended engine oil service interval has increased from 500 to 750 hours, giving you more uptime per oil change.

Digital Connectivity 1
Machine IQ

Available in the Owner Portal and Machine IQ mobile app, Machine IQ telematics lets you monitor your machine's location, health, and security status so you're always in control. Protect your equipment with remote engine disable/enable, geofence boundaries, motion detection and curfew alerts that notify you when unauthorized activity occurs. Reduce downtime with proactive critical fault code notifications and maintenance reminders that keep you ahead of potential issues.

What Makes the E55 Different

Horsepower
49.7 hpTurbocharged Bobcat D18, Tier 4

A 49.7-hp turbocharged Bobcat 1.8L engine meets Tier 4 without a DPF or SCR — no regeneration stoppages and fewer components to maintain, with strong torque for digging and lifting on the 6-ton-class E55.

Bucket Digging Force
9,511 lbf6,987 lbf arm digging force

Strong breakout force lets the E55 cut through hard-packed soil and tough materials, powering through trenching, foundation and utility work without slowing down.

Arm Configurations
2 OptionsStandard · Long

Choose the standard arm for maximum digging force or the long arm for added depth and reach — match the configuration to the job in front of you.

Dig Depth
136.9 inStandard arm — 231.9 in reach

More than 11 feet of dig depth and 19+ feet of ground-level reach on the standard arm — step up to the optional long arm for 152.7 in of depth and 247.2 in of reach when the job goes deeper.

Auxiliary Flow
20 gpmSelectable flow @ 3,045 psi

High auxiliary flow with selectable control runs augers, breakers, grapples, plate compactors and more — so a single machine handles a wide range of attachment work.

Operating Weight
11,357 lb6-ton class · 77.2 in wide

Big-machine digging power and over-the-side stability from a conventional-tail-swing platform — the muscle to take on jobs where smaller compact excavators run out of reach.
