2026 Bobcat® R-Series E20

The Bobcat® E20 compact excavator proves that big performance can come in a small, transportable package. With a zero-tail swing design, exceptional reach and dig depth, and a retractable undercarriage, the E20 is built to take on tough jobs in tight spaces.

Features may include:

• Get more hydraulic power for more lifting ability when it really counts. Larger cylinders work with the new hydraulic system to improve digging performance and maximize lifting capacity over the front (with the blade down).

• You’ll increase your jobsite capabilities with the standard-equipped long arm. You’ll gain higher dump height and extra reach allowing you to do more work without repositioning the machine.

• The new load-sensing pump, paired with the closed-center hydraulic system, delivers smooth and responsive multi-functioning operations and controllability, along with smooth, precise positioning of the excavator and work group. You'll have more power and flexibility for traveling and operating the work group simultaneously for enhanced productivity and more intuitive operation.

• Zero Tail Swing excavators give you more unrestricted rotation and provides greater flexibility if you are constantly working close to objects or against a wall. The rear of the house stays within the width of the tracks through full rotation.

• Compared to mechanical travel controls, hydraulically controlled travel on Bobcat compact excavators results in smooth, precise movement.

• A rocker-style thumb switch, located on the left joystick, provides superior boom swing control with better metering than foot pedals. Multifunctioning actions, such as swinging and traveling simultaneously, are also easier and overall operation is more convenient.

• The fingertip auxiliary hydraulic controls make it easy to activate and operate hydraulic attachments.

• When you dig in an offset position, the swing castings and cylinders remain within the tracks to help you work in small spaces. You can dig flush against an obstacle while avoiding contact with the machine.

• Maneuver faster with the Bobcat Two-Speed option. The quicker you can move on your jobsite, the faster you can complete your work. Select low range for pushing and dozing and high range for increased jobsite mobility.
