Longer service intervals and greater comfort

Bobcat’s new E80 excavator has a completely new design. Daily greasing of the bushings at the boom, arm and bucket pivot is a thing of the past with the E80. Normally, this process takes up to 30 minutes of an operator’s time each day. Now, the operator will be able to spend that time working because the E80 has increased the service interval of greasing the bushings to 250 hours.

The E80 also delivers exceptional operator comfort by offering a spacious cab with an operator seat that adjusts six ways. A high-capacity climate-control system has automotive-style controls and vents in front of and to the rear of the operator, placing the air movement exactly where needed.

A fixed instrument panel on the right side of the cab is a central, easy-to-read display for all of the information the operator needs on machine performance.

Each E80 is delivered clamp ready for operators who want to quickly and easily add and use a clamp.

The optional pin coupler system allows the operator to quickly change between attachments. Bobcat also provides a platform for attachments previously used on the 442.

The engine control system has an auto-idle feature, reducing fuel consumption when the excavator is not working. Engine rpm is controlled electronically so that the operator uses only as much engine power necessary for the application. The quiet operation of the 54.2-hp engine is also a benefit.

The swing frame for the boom stays within the width of the tracks, making it easier to work in constricted job sites. Dig depth is 15 feet 6 inches and operating weight is 18,880 pounds with rubber tracks. The auxiliary hydraulic system has a rated capacity of 31.7 gallons per minute.
