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.

Lighter than the previous generation — and more stable

A heavier machine costs more to buy, is harder to transport and thirstier to run. The R-Series is lighter than its predecessor, yet full 360° stability is retained: the heavy counterweight sits within the zero tail profile, so it never gets in the way of working against a wall. All three machines in the range are towable on ordinary trailers in every configuration.

Auxiliary hydraulic lines

AUX1The general-purpose line for attachments.
AUX2Supporting functions such as attachment rotation.
AUX3Clamshell bucket (bucket diverter).
AUX4Tilting coupler control.
AUX5Hydraulic coupler control.

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.
