These new excavators deliver the power, performance and precision needed for the biggest job site challenges. With fast cycle times, impressive digging forces and high lifting capabilities, the new conventional-tail-swing E220 and reduced-tail-swing E245 help operators confidently handle large-scale projects such as commercial and residential construction, roadwork, infrastructure and more.
Bobcat large excavators have the size and weight combination for increased digging performance with the E220 offering a digging depth of 21 feet, 7 inches and the E245 offering 21 feet, 11 inches. Both models have a bucket digging force of 35,464 foot-pounds. Precision is amplified thanks to their fine swing feature, which allows the excavators’ upper structure to come to a smooth, gradual stop and reduce spillage on the job.
Equipped with Tier 4 engines, these excavators meet emissions compliance without needing a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This results in simpler maintenance and eliminates downtime caused by DPF regeneration.
The excavators offer four selectable power modes for operators to set their performance for the demands of the job – whether that is efficient fuel consumption or all-out power for tough digging and heavy lifting:
- Power+ mode: Top work group speed to load trucks in less time or sustain peak digging performance when opening hard ground
- Power mode: Impressive power and performance for tough digging, quick loading and heavy lifting, and increased travel speed
- Standard mode: Balanced performance and reduced fuel use for routine digging, lifting and grading
- Economy mode: Optimizes fuel economy when power demands are lower or when doing precise digging and fine grading
The excavators’ Smart Power Control will match load to engine speed, hydraulic pump torque and engine response, improving efficiency in any of the four power modes.
Other key features of the E220 and E245 include:
- Steel tracks
- Four standard work modes: One-way flow, two-way flow, digging and lifting
- 8-Inch touch display with Bluetooth
- Side- and rear-view cameras
- Standard premium air-suspension, heated seat
- LED work lights
The large excavators come standard with two-way piping controlled by thumb wheel or foot pedal along with hydraulic quick coupler piping. Several attachments will be available.
The E220 and E245 join other large Bobcat excavators, the E145 and E165, along with a range of compact excavators from 1- to 10-ton options.
