New 1-2 t Mini Excavators

The new generation of 1-2 t mini excavators includes the E16, E17z, E19 and E20z models. The line-up offers new levels of performance and features, a fresh look and is designed to meet the specific needs of EMEA customers. Moreover, the new generation comes with many new advanced features, so far only available on larger excavators.

“After 3 years of development, the new 1-2 t mini excavator models, featuring over 500 new components, will be available in the European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) markets later this year. A team of more than 50 engineers and designers have worked on the new designs, with over 80 customer visits to collect the scope, with ride and drive sessions with operators to validate prototypes, forming part of over 20,000 hours of testing and validation work.”

said Robert Husar, Product Line Director for Bobcat in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

At the heart of the new 1-2 t mini excavators lies a cutting-edge powertrain, featuring a robust, upgraded engine seamlessly integrated with a new, high-performance load-sensing pump bundled with a closed center, flow-sharing hydraulic system. This sophisticated combination, typically reserved for larger excavators, delivers unparalleled responsiveness and efficiency.

The E88 Mini Excavator

“Complementing the changes at the smaller end of our mini excavator range, we will be showing a new enhanced version of our top-of-the-range E88 9 t mini excavator, offering enhanced operator comfort, an improved fit and finish, additional standard features and the availability of multiple predefined configurations.”

said Robert Husar.

The increased level of operator comfort results from the use of the Fritzmeier cab also utilized on Bobcat’s popular E60, 6 t mini excavator model. This cab offers improved window and windscreen opening and closing, reduced noise and vibrations, as well as additional standard features and options. These include Direct to Tank and an intermittent wiper – standard in all configurations; a rear-view camera – optional for machines with a 7-inch display; and a new Radio FM/AM/DAB/Phone Ready function – included in some specifications as standard.

Sustainable and Innovative Solutions

Bobcat recently introduced the TL25.60e, an electric telehandler concept designed to exceed the power and performance of its diesel counterpart while emitting zero emissions to offer a more sustainable solution.

Furthermore, at Bauma, Bobcat will present innovative concepts like the RogueX2, an autonomous compact loader, and the S7X, the world’s first all-electric skid-steer loader. Both the RogueX2 and S7X remain in the research and development phase.
