Bobcat E42 and E50 Excavators

Feb. 7, 2020

The Bobcat E42 and E50 compact excavators are the first in the company's R2 series. The E42 excavator offers 42.6 horsepower, and has a maximum reach of 17.6 feet. Maximum dig depth is 10.4 feet. The E50 offers 49.7 horsepower, has a maximum reach of 19.3 feet, and a maximum dig depth of 11.4 feet.

R2-Series joysticks feature a hydraulic control valve that provides finite movement controllability for level grading and fast cycle times. 

Optimal depth check accessory kit minimizes the tendency to over-and-under dig. Depth check functions are integrated with the standard 5-inch LCD display or the optional touch display. The kit is wired, so job conditions or wireless signal loss do not interfere with digging accuracy.

Dual-flange track rollers extend the undercarriage structure closer to the track’s edge. The added stability results in lift-over-side capacity, and improves over-the-side digging performance and slewing ability.
