Bobcat is presenting several new products for the first time at Hillhead 2022.
These include the show premiere of the E88, a brand new 8 tonne Stage V compliant model that extends the company’s new generation R2-Series of mini-excavators.
As well as the E88, other products appearing for the first time at Hillhead include Bobcat’s new R-Series telehandler range; the L85, the first model in the company’s compact wheel loader range and a number of new light compaction products.
The Bobcat stand also features the E10e, the world’s first battery-powered 1 tonne mini-excavator.
Delivering outstanding performance from a compact dimension machine, superb operator comfort and excellent stability with high digging output, the new E88 replaces the previous E85 M-Series machine.
The E88 provides the operator with the full experience expected of an R2-Series excavator, adding new features and options such as an optional fourth AUX4 auxiliary tilt coupler line, a fifth AUX5 hydraulic coupler line as standard and a longer undercarriage. The proven Bobcat D24 Stage V 4-cylinder engine offers a maximum power output of 48.5 kW (65 HP) and ensures the highest performance and maximum reliability.
Bobcat´s acknowledged productivity is coupled with smooth controllability thanks to low effort joysticks and intuitive 5- or 7-Inch displays, class-leading visibility and exceptional transportability for its weight class. Large, easy opening covers provide convenient, ground level access to all service points and for maintenance checks.
Like previous Bobcat R2-Series machines such as the E60 launched at the end of 2020, the new E88 continues to develop the philosophy of ‘built around the operator’. The spacious cab with plenty of headroom and legroom retains the proven design of the cab in the E60. Easy and safe to get in and out of thanks to the wide doors, unique 3D handle, anti-slip step on the undercarriage and foot space above the track, the cab makes the daily life of the operator an easier one.
