Description
Bobcat E165 Large Excavator
The turbo-charged Bobcat® E165 large excavator provides optimized performance for heavy digging and lifting operations. Class-leading hydraulics give operators reliable, steady power to the work group to save time with every digging cycle. The E165 large excavator offers a conventional tail swing that brings you the best possible lift capacity, so you can pick and place heavy items with ease.
This 131-hp excavator, in the 16 – 18 ton size class, is ideal for roadways, railroads, bridges, infrastructure, and commercial and urban jobsites. Plus, more slewing torque means increased power for slewing, backfilling and all-around better productivity on your jobsite.

E165 Features & Benefits
Performance 7
Powerful Hydraulics
Powerful hydraulic, arm and bucket forces, plus power boost and higher slew torque, support fast digging, lifting and backfilling. Two variable-displacement piston pumps deliver efficient cycle times.
Four Power Modes
Power+, Power, Standard and Economy modes let operators match output and fuel use to hard digging, loading, lifting, routine work or precision grading.
Selectable Work Modes
Digging, Smart Power Control, lifting, breaker and shear modes tailor engine response, pump torque and auxiliary flow to the task or attachment.
Turbocharged Tier 4 Engine
Turbocharged power, variable-speed control and pump-torque control maintain dependable performance while helping reduce fuel use and avoid engine overload.
Auto Shift and Auto Idle
Auto shift responds to changing load, while auto idle reduces engine speed and noise when the controls are inactive.
X-Frame Undercarriage
Sloped undercarriage surfaces shed debris to preserve clearance and reduce cleanup time.
Conventional Tail Swing
Conventional tail swing delivers maximum lift capacity for confident heavy picks and placement.
Comfort 2
Premium Cab
A pressurized, sound-isolated cab, heated air-suspension seat and adjustable controls help reduce fatigue during long shifts.
Clear Visibility
Large front, side and overhead windows, narrow pillars and sun shades provide unobstructed views of the work area.
Uptime Protection 3
Protected Components
Heavy-duty protected components and an automatic belt tensioner help reduce wear and maintain performance.
Vandalism Protection
An anti-theft password plus lockable covers and fuel-fill points help protect the machine and fuel supply.
Easy Service Access
Wide access covers, a hinged belly pan, centralized boom grease points and self diagnostics simplify daily maintenance.
Versatility 1
Attachment Control
Use the right-joystick roller switch or foot pedal to vary the speed of two-way hydraulic attachments such as a hydraulic clamp.
