The E40, which will become commercially available in late 2023, is a minimal tail swing compact excavator with less than 5 cm of overhang and a standard long arm.
Bobcat will preview the E40 in booth 3052 at Equip Exposition, Oct. 17 to 20, in Louisville, Ky.
With an operating weight of 4,164, the E40 delivers a digging force of 7,284 foot pounds and a maximum reach of 5.5 metres and a lift capacity of 1,787 kg.
The compact excavator also delivers an over-the-blade lift capacity and over-the-side lift capacity that’s comparable to conventional tail swing models.
The E40 is an ideal jobsite solution for contractors requiring convenient trailering and the maneuverability to complete challenging work in confined jobsites.
With the introduction of the new E40, Bobcat has revised select model numbers in its 3-to-5-ton excavators’ size class to better reflect the machines’ size and performance.
“Our compact excavator lineup within the 3-to-5-ton size class has grown, and the updated model numbers better reflect the outstanding performance capabilities that empower our customers to accomplish more each and every day,” said Mike Wetzel, Director of Product Development at Bobcat Company.
“The updated portfolio more closely aligns with the excavators’ capabilities when compared to other machines within the same size class.”
