Orders open for the R2-Series E88 compact excavator

The E88 R2-Series compact excavator brings big performance in a compact machine. With a redesigned Bobcat engine, increased over-the-side lift capacity, precise and predictable hydraulic controls and many other innovations that add durability, performance and comfort, the E88 is one of the highest-performing and versatile excavators in its size class.

The E88 represents a major opportunity to grow your excavator business. The E88 is a top performer in the 6-10 ton size class and the market segment is growing at a faster rate than the overall MX industry. Additionally, we have significant market share opportunity in this market segment, which accounts for roughly one-fourth of all MX industry revenue.

With forecasted growth in overall construction, the E88 presents a great opportunity to increase sales and meet customer needs. The E88 also will be a popular addition to rental fleets.

Highlights of the Bobcat R2-Series E88 include:

Increased lift-over-side performance that is as good or better than the competition.
Hydraulic control refinements for smooth controllability and natural, finite movement.
Redesigned Tier 4 Bobcat engine that achieves emissions compliance without a diesel particulate filter or selective catalytic reduction.
Improved fit and finish, including upgraded latches, complements the E88’s reduced noise and vibration.
Optional angle blade for ease of backfilling.
Bosch fuel system for better system protection and longer filter life.
Spacious, comfortable cab with optional high back seat, enhanced comfort and a high-visibility environment.
Depth-check ready for more accurate digging.
LED work lights for better visibility in low lighting.
