Compact excavators

Size the machine to access and reach.

Bobcat compact excavators cover tight-access machines through larger compact models such as the E88. The E35 remains a popular middle-size benchmark, but the best seller is not automatically the best fit for every job.

Tight-access class

Machines for gates, indoor work, landscaping and precise utility excavation.

3–4 ton class

A versatile center of the compact range for contractors, ranches and rental work.

5–6 ton class

More dig depth, reach, lift and attachment capability while remaining transportable.

Larger compact class

E88-size capability for customers who need near-production performance in a compact footprint.
