E88 Mini Excavator

Low effort joysticks coupled with the new generation control valve make the workgroup feel like the extension of the operator’s arm. Improved metering and dual slope control curves are developed for operators of all skills and experiences.

Our mission is to make your work easier! The Blade Float simplifies grading, leveling and backfilling jobs. Blade float exerts a minimal, consistent down-force on the blade, with minimal operator input.

The left joystick gives you superior boom-swing control with better metering than foot pedals. The right joystick provides perfect attachment control. Multi-tasking, such as swinging and traveling simultaneously, is more manageable.

The E88 features superb travel performance without having to downshift manually. The Auto Shift automatically transitions to and from high range, producing greater tractive effort when you need it. Simply select the travel speed range you want, and go.

The E88 is equipped with selectable auxiliary hydraulics. Choose multiple flow rates: low flow for precise control, medium flow for placing and handling materials, or maximum flow for peak hydraulic attachment performance.

Choose between two travel speeds to increase your speed around your jobsite and increase your productivity.

Choose the arm configuration that best meets your needs. The standard arm offers maximum arm breakout force. Equip your machine with the optional long arm for added reach and dig depth. Both arms are clamp-ready.

The Dual Direction Detent system provides continuous flow for attachments in either direction, allowing you to simplify operation and operate attachments without continually having to press a button.

After 4 seconds, your E88 automatically idles the engine until you start work again. The E88 returns to the previous throttle position right away when you move the joystick or initiate travel. Auto idle can be set to on or off to suit your work.

The E88 has been designed to achieve superior 360-degree stability even when digging over-side or handling heavier loads. The improved counterweight design, longer tracks, and dual flange rollers guarantee class-leading front and over-side stability.

The time-proven D24 engine - now in a new Stage V compliant with improved performance characteristics - is used in thousands of Bobcat machines worldwide.

The E88 feels like an extension of the operator’s hands with state-of-the-art technology. It features the latest generation main control valve and proportional thumb-controlled boom swing offset – combined with Bobcat’s traditional high performance.

Professionals know the value of matching their equipment to the work at hand. Bobcat’s lineup includes a range of options to meet the needs of every job. E88 features a low overhang over the track profile for easy access to the task.

Get more done with less effort thanks to Bobcat's signature high productivity. Fast cycle times, high digging forces, and superior front and side stability are the name of the game.

Don’t let its impressive power fool you: the E88 remains surprisingly transportable. You can load it onto a standard hook lifter container truck thanks to its thoughtfully designed dimensions and tie-down points.

Operator-friendly, ergonomic controls keep you productive all day long. Control attachments with precision, flexibility and low fatigue. Grade, level and backfill with less operator input. Head to the next jobsite using the one-hand travel control. Adjust the arm rests for added comfort.

You’ll be more attentive when your compact excavator is quieter, set to your preferred temperature, and easy to operate. Enjoy more cab space, advanced climate control and reduced noise levels.

The hydraulic joystick control on the Bobcat excavator delivers smooth, fluid operation and increased efficiency.

Bobcat excavators feature soft-grip pilot control joysticks that provide effortless control of the workgroup.

Make throttle adjustments with an easy-to-use rotary knob. It provides precise control and adjusts easier than a lever.

Enjoy ample space and leg room inside the cab, ergonomic interior design, easy access to critical controls, and optional comfort features such as a heated seat with high back and head rest.

Best-in-class panoramic visibility is the key to working precisely and safely. Thanks to unsurpassed visibility from the cab – with narrow but solid pillars – the operator is fully aware of the working area around the machine. Powerful demisting ensure that visibility remains uncompromised in all circumstances.

See and control everything important on the optional full color 5-inch display. Weather and scratch resistant robust display is easy to read in all circumstances and easy to operate via the switch. Display allows to set up the connected attachments, auxiliary flows and check the machine vitals. which is ready to be connected to a rear-view camera. Addition to this the rear view camera can be connected.

Bobcat® compact excavators feature a unique canopy that gives operators better visibility in confined areas. The lightweigh design, which is ROPS, TOPS and FOGS certified, keeps compaction to a minimum when crossing lawns and other established surfaces.

With Bobcat® compact excavators, it's easy to make maintenance part of your routine. Perform preventative maintenance using Bobcat's industry-leading service access and simple checkpoints. Use your shop time to complete the job instead of gaining access. You'll complete essential maintenance as scheduled and reduce your operating costs.

Take care of everyday maintenance and even minor repairs without leaving the job site, thanks to the accessible and cleverly positioned service points and large covers.

Bobcat® compact excavators are engineered to operate in the smallest of workspaces. All models feature the exclusive In-Track Swing Frame, which allows you to get closer to your work. The swing castings and cylinders stay within the tracks when you dig in an offset position.

To help maximize uptime, the cooling cores can be accessed easily through large service openings for quick, easy cleaning of the radiator.

Our tie-downs are easy to reach and apply, so you can secure the machine quickly and get on and off the job site faster.

Like all Bobcat machines, our compact excavators are designed to prevent problems before they occur. Electronics meet or exceed the most demanding specifications for sealing, moisture, shock and vibration. Automatic glow plugs deliver easier starts and ensure longer starter life, while battery run-down protection guards against vandals or forgetful operators.

You can keep your Bobcat® compact excavator on the job – and out of the shop – thanks to its smart diagnostic features. Machine Shutdown Protection: to maximise uptime, most Bobcat excavators come standard with automatic shutdown that tracks engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure, hydraulic oil temperature and other functions. The system is designed to prevent catastrophic engine failure: it shuts down the machine if necessary, reducing the chance of damage to the engine or hydraulic components. Diagnostics: Bobcat provides on-board diagnostics to efficiently troubleshoot problems while you are working and prevent them before they occur – reducing your machine's downtime. Cold Weather Engine Protection: this feature protects your machine from working too hard in cold weather before the engine is properly warmed up.

Integrated slew brakes hold your load steady on slopes for more accurate placement and while your excavator is trailered.

Avoid fuel spills and wastage with the Bobcat Fuel Fill Pump. Your excavator can be equipped with a fuel-fill pump with an automatic shutdown as an optional extra.

The optional steel tracks have a segmented construction, enabling quick and convenient repair. Optional rubber pads ensure a more comfortable ride.

Machine Telematics give you greater control over your Bobcat machine. The data-driven monitoring and durable built-in electronics let you maximize uptime and optimize the machine for your business.

Clamp, lift, move and place more objects and materials with the power of the Bobcat hydraulic clamp (thumb) attachment. Our hydraulic clamp has a dual-tooth design which maximizes the clamp capabilities, enabling the attachment to clamp onto many odd-shaped objects and debris. Put the clamp attachment to work with a trenching bucket and see how easily you can move irregularly shaped objects such as tree stumps and broken slabs of concrete. The clamp attachment is ideal for those moving and removing jobs.

Many Bobcat® compact excavator models are equipped with selectable auxiliary hydraulics. This gives you the choice of multiple flow rates to help you optimise the response of your hydraulic attachments such as tilting buckets, clamps, grapples, hydraulic breakers and augers. Select low flow for precise control and accurate angles, medium flow for placing and handling materials, or maximum flow for peak hydraulic attachment performance.

With Bobcat ergonomic controls, you stay productive all day long. They help you control attachments with precision and flexibility, without feeling tired. Grade, level and backfill with less exertion. Then head to the next work area using the one-hand travel control... and adjust the arm rests for added comfort!
