Bobcat E48 Compact Excavator Features
Low-Effort Joysticks
Low-effort joysticks in R2-Series excavators respond easily to operator input, helping operators work longer with less fatigue.
Dual Flange Roller System
Dual flange track rollers extend the undercarriage structure closer to the track’s edge so you can dig with greater confidence over the side of the machine.
Multiple Arm Configurations
Multiple arm configurations are available on select models, including standard, long and extendable. Depending on the reach, depth, power, and lifting performance you need, there’s an arm to meet your job requirements.
Premium Cab
Premium comfort gives you the endurance to power through long days and tough jobs. When you step inside the Bobcat compact (mini) excavator cab, you’ll experience plenty of headroom and legroom, clear visibility, a larger suspension seat and more.
Touch Display
The most advanced in-cab display for compact equipment – optional on R2-Series excavators – provides detailed machine information and unprecedented device connectivity. View machine performance information on the wide touchscreen.
Depth Check System
The Bobcat® depth check system delivers accurate dig depth measurement for precise digging performance, eliminating over-digging and the costs associated with backfilling and compacting fill material. R2-Series models are depth check ready.
Pro Clamp System
The Pro Clampâ„¢ system consists of a base component, standard pin-on work tool and optional grading tool. Grab large, small or irregular objects with greater confidence. Create a smooth trench bottom and clean up spoil piles quickly.
Integrated Lift Eye
The lift eye is standard on R2-Series excavators to provide a convenient method for handling objects or moving items in and out of the trench.
Optional Rear Camera
The optional rear camera for R2-Series excavators provides an additional viewpoint for working in certain applications. When needed, you can get a continuous rear view from the operator seat.
