Description
Bobcat E245 Large Excavator
3 Year / 5,000 Hour Warranty
The Bobcat E245 large excavator is built to dominate large-scale jobs with awesome power, heavy-duty durability and operator-focused features that optimize performance and comfort. Designed for demanding excavation applications, the E245 provides the performance and scalability your customers need to tackle the toughest challenges on the jobsite.
The largest, most powerful excavator in the Bobcat lineup, the E245 excels in the toughest digging, lifting and loading applications. With top-of-the-lineup specs in horsepower, arm and bucket force, and massive lift capacity, it's designed to handle high-production jobs in commercial and infrastructure projects. The reduced tail swing allows for greater maneuverability in tight jobsites. With a side overhang of 5.1 in., operators can confidently use the machine around obstacles or against walls.
What Makes the E245 Different
189 HP High-Production Power
The E245 delivers 189 hp and a 26-ton operating class for high-volume excavation, heavy lifting and demanding production work.
Exceptional Digging Force
35,464 lbf of bucket force and 24,703 lbf of arm force give crews the breakout performance needed in difficult materials.
Deep Digging and Long Reach
A 263 in dig depth, 379.7 in ground-level reach and 312.6 in dump height reduce repositioning on large excavations.
Reduced Tail Swing
Reduced tail swing helps the E245 work productively where jobsite clearance is limited while retaining serious digging and lifting capability.
117.4 GPM Hydraulics
High main-system flow, selectable auxiliary hydraulics and optional quick couplers support productive cycles and demanding work tools.
Comfort and Visibility
The enclosed, climate-controlled cab supports long shifts with clear visibility and intuitive control.
