Longer service intervals and unmatched operator comfort keep new Bobcat E80 excavator working long hours

E80-(2)Bobcat Company introduces the E80 excavator, a machine with a completely new design that sets a high standard by increasing service intervals, operator comfort and durability. Everything about the E80 excavator has been created to keep operators working longer, including the elimination of daily service points; a spacious cab and a top-of-the-line seat to keep operators working comfortably; and polymer shims to decrease wear on the lateral pins.

Longer service intervals

Daily greasing of the bushings at the boom, arm and bucket pivot is a thing of the past with the E80 excavator. Normally, this process takes up to 30 minutes of an operator’s time each day. Now, the operator will be able to spend that time working because the E80 has increased the service interval of greasing the bushings to 250 hours.

Operator comfort

The E80 revolutionizes operator comfort by offering a spacious cab with an operator seat that adjusts six ways and a heating and air conditioning system that has true automotive-style controls. These features have been designed to keep operators who spend many hours in their machines comfortable and productive.

The top-of-the-line seat allows the operator to create an individually designed ergonomic work environment. The operator can adjust the seat in six ways:

With these adjustments, operators of any size can adjust the seat to their personal preference in the placement of the armrests, joysticks and seat bottom and back. These adjustments also let the operator move the seat to an area where the operator can best control the foot pedals and see the work area.
