Bobcat’s new 418 compact excavator replaces the model 316. The 418 excavator has an operating weight of 2,593 pounds and a dig depth of six feet. Excavators in this class are often used in tight working areas, next to buildings or other property and areas where it is difficult to transport equipment. Keeping these concerns in mind, Bobcat has developed the 418 excavator with zero tail swing (ZTS) with tracks extended. Eliminating tail overhang on the machine allows the operator to optimize spoil placement and minimize machine contact with property or other nearby objects.
Pilot-operated joysticks control the 418 excavator. With these joysticks, the operator has consistent, smooth and fluid control of the machine, increasing work efficiency and further reducing the possibility of the excavator coming in contact with buildings or other nearby objects. Additionally, the undercarriage of the excavator retracts to less than 28 inches.
