    What Makes the E26 Different

    24.8 HP Compact Excavator Power

    The E26 pairs a 24.8-horsepower engine with robust hydraulics and hefty cylinders to deliver 5,652 lbf bucket digging force and 3,547 lbf arm digging force in a compact, easy-to-transport 3-ton class machine.

    Long Arm Working Range

    The standard long-arm configuration gives the E26 114.4 inches of dig depth, 192 inches of reach at ground level and 128.8 inches of dump height, helping you trench deeper and work farther from the machine.

    Minimal Tail Swing

    With only 3.5 inches of tail swing overhang, the E26 works close to walls, fences, structures and landscaping while still offering the lift and digging performance buyers expect from a larger compact excavator.

    In-Track Swing Frame

    Bobcat's exclusive In-Track Swing Frame keeps swing castings and cylinders within the tracks when offset digging, so operators can dig flush against obstacles while helping protect key components from damage.

    2-Speed Travel with Auto Shift

    Move at up to 3.2 mph in high range, use low range for pushing and dozing, and let Auto Shift automatically transition travel motors for better tractive effort without manual downshifting.

    X-Frame Undercarriage

    The X-frame undercarriage improves ground clearance, sheds dirt during cleanup and places drive motors within track width for added protection and better agility in soft conditions.

    Premium Cab Options

    Optional cab enclosure, heat, air conditioning and radio help crews stay productive through long days, while Auto Idle makes pauses quieter and helps save fuel between machine functions.

    Machine IQ Telematics

    Monitor your E26's location, health and security status from the Bobcat Owner Portal or Machine IQ app, with theft-protection tools, fault notifications and maintenance reminders that help keep uptime on track.

    E26 Features & Benefits

    Performance 6
    2-Speed Travel

    Maneuver faster with the Bobcat 2-Speed option. The quicker you can move on your jobsite, the faster you can complete your work. Select low range for pushing and dozing and high range for increased jobsite mobility.

    Auto Shift

    Auto-Shift travel shifts the machine out of high range and back automatically, offering superb travel performance without having to manually downshift. It automatically transitions the travel motors to and from high range, giving you greater tractive effort with no manual shifting. Simply select the travel speed range and go. A directional lug track also provides a smoother ride and less vibration when traveling. Optional on the E20 model.

    Fingertip Boom Swing Control

    Bobcat® excavator controls allow you to make fine movements with low effort and maximum comfort – so you can get precise results in less time, with less fatigue. A rocker-style thumb switch, located on the left joystick, provides superior boom swing control with better metering than foot pedals. Multifunction operation, such as swinging and traveling simultaneously, is also easier. With the boom swing control on the joystick, you get more floor space and foot room that provides a comfort advantage on long, tiring jobs.

    Advanced Hydraulics

    Whether you're traveling across a jobsite, backfilling, or digging, your excavator's hydraulic system contributes to performance more than any other feature. When compared to other brands, advanced hydraulics on Bobcat® excavators deliver the most horsepower in working range.

    Learn More
    Predictable Control

    Bobcat® compact excavators deliver the house, boom, arm and bucket control you expect in the most challenging work environments. It's the confidence in these precise movements that determines whether you complete the job using your machine, or with two workers and a pair of shovels.

    Learn More
    Blade Float

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

    Comfort 2
    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 see refinements everywhere you look, including plenty of headroom and legroom, clear visibility, and a larger suspension seat. Each feature has been designed to help keep you working all day long.

    Learn More
    Auto Idle

    Auto Idle makes it easier and quieter to pause your work, take a quick break or communicate on the jobsite - all while saving fuel. When machine functions aren't used, the machine automatically idles the engine until you start working again.

    Uptime Protection 7
    In-Track Swing Frame

    The exclusive In-Track Swing Frame on Bobcat® compact excavators gets you closer to your work. When you dig in an offset position, the swing castings and cylinders remain within the tracks to help you work in small spaces. You can dig flush against an obstacle, minimizing the chances of inadvertent contact and reducing operating costs of repairs to your machines or adjacent structures. Other brands cannot match this feature: when they work in an offset digging position, their components extend outside the tracks and reduce their ability to dig in tight areas.

    Protected Components

    No other manufacturer provides so many job-proven features to give you more uptime in the field. Bobcat® steel hydraulic lines offer better protection than rubber hoses — routed through the lower portion of the boom swing casting and tucked securely into the top area of the boom structure, preventing costly damage and protecting component life. The boom, arm and attachment/bucket offer better lifting performance and longer durability. Cast pivot joints provide precise pin alignment which lengthens the service life of pivot pins and bushings. A strong, lightweight composite door on cab models withstands years of tough work.

    Simple Machine Tie-Down

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

    Integrated Slew Brakes

    Integrated slew brakes hold your load steady on slopes for more accurate placement. It's easier to position the excavator, and you no longer need to manually engage the slew brake during transport.

    X-Frame Undercarriage

    With better ground clearance, the X-frame undercarriage improves your performance in difficult conditions. Dirt and other materials easily pass through this undercarriage, making cleanup faster and leaving less debris on the trailers. The X-frame undercarriage design places drive motors within the width of the tracks, protecting the assembly and improving agility in soft conditions. The recessed motor covers eliminate potential damage and improve your uptime on the job.

    Protection Technology

    Bobcat controls and electrical systems are engineered with more watertight, corrosion-resistant connectors than other manufacturers' machines.

    Multiple Tailswing Configurations

    Choose an excavator model with the tail swing configuration that best matches the needs of your jobsite. Conventional Tail Swing models deliver the greatest lift capacity and a narrower stance for easier trailer loading and better access through tight areas. Minimal Tail Swing provides more maneuverability than conventional tail swing, with the rear of the house protruding no more than 6 in. beyond the width of the tracks. Zero Tail Swing (ZTS) keeps the rear of the house within the width of the tracks through full rotation, giving you the most unrestricted rotation for working close to objects or against a wall.

    Serviceability 1
    Panoramic Serviceability

    Maintenance is necessary, and Bobcat compact (mini) excavators are designed to make it easy. A wide opening gives you more space to work, while a smart layout gives you access to critical components. Access engine and pump package, valve bank, cooling system and plumbing using the swing-open tailgate and side access hood. Filters, fluid checks, air cleaner, battery and other maintenance points are simple to access. Made of tough DuPont Kevlar®, the multi-groove auto-tensioning belt requires no adjustment, making maintenance much easier. Fewer 90-degree fittings result in more efficient hydraulic fluid transfer and better utilization of engine horsepower. Additionally, a centralized grease bank makes fast, simple work of lubricating the slew bearing and slew pinion. With the large opening, it's simple and easy to reach the well-protected grease cylinder fitting and complete track tensioning.

    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.
