Why a Bobcat compact excavator

The design decisions that determine where the machine can work and what you can hang on it.

Zero House Swing (ZHS)

An extension of zero tail swing: the front corners of the upper structure are brought inside the swing circle too, and the boom swing cylinder does not protrude when digging parallel to a wall. In practice the machine works right up against obstacles — in backyards, in urban areas and anywhere a bigger machine simply will not fit.

Smart Flow hydraulics

A flow-sharing main control valve with a load-sensing pump: pressure and flow go exactly where they are needed. Hence fast cycle times with smooth control. Boom and dipper stick cylinder cushioning — unique in this class — removes the shock at the end of travel.

Auxiliary hydraulic lines

The Selectable Auxiliary Control (SAC) system lets you customise the control pattern for a given attachment and switch the lines between boom and arm; it is an integral part of the AUX4 option. Geith, Klac and Lehnhoff hydraulic couplers are supported, Lehnhoff with optional tilting adapters.
