BOBCAT has extended the company’s R2-Series of mini-excavators with the launch of the new E88 8-tonne, Stage V compliant model.
Replacing the previous E85 M-Series machine, the E88 delivers outstanding performance from a compact dimension machine, Bobcat said, adding that it will also offer 'superb operator comfort' and 'excellent stability' with high digging output.
The machine comes with a host of new features on its predecessor, including an optional fourth AUX4 auxiliary tilt coupler line, a fifth AUX5 hydraulic coupler line as standard and a longer undercarriage.
A Bobcat spokesperson said: "Bobcat's acknowledged productivity is coupled with smooth controllability thanks to low effort joysticks and intuitive five- or seven-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.
"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. To meet Stage V emission levels, the engine uses diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF), replacing selective catalytic reduction, to achieve maximum reliability, efficiency and environmental protection.
