Combining power with maneuverability, Bobcat has launched its largest excavator yet, the 15-metric-ton E145.
The E145 is a reduced tail swing, long carriage class excavator that is designed to offer a high degree of maneuverability. The longer carriage improves lift performance, Bobcat says, adding that the E145 boasts industry-leading lifting capacity. With this machine Bobcat is delivering an excavator it says can handle the most challenging tasks while also staying nimble at only 12 inches of tail swing.
Bobcat designed the E145 for use in heavy digging and lifting operations on commercial and residential jobsites, road, bridge, and underground utility projects.
The company says it expects the machine to draw new customers while increasing its reach with current customers.
The machine features a dual-flange track roller system that extends the undercarriage structure closer to the track’s edge. The added stability of this design, plus a new integrated counterweight, increases lift-over-side capacity. It also improves over-the-side digging performance and slewing ability.
The E145 can also be equipped with an optional dozer blade for added digging stability and leveling ability on uneven surfaces.
