Bobcat Goes Big

Construction equipment manufacturer Bobcat has expanded its portfolio of excavators with the launch of its largest model to date, the new 15.4 tonne E145.

Bobcat Goes Big

The formerly American owned manufacturer famous for its skid steer loader range, as well as mini excavators is owned by Doosan these days and it will not come as a surprise to notice that behind the white paint scheme, the new machine is essentially a DX140LCR compact radius machine.

Having said that the machine which is powered by a 115hp Perkins turbocharged engine is sure to appeal to the Bobcat faithful who may wish to invest in a larger machine while sticking with the brand name and for commonality of parts and service. At this stage its unclear as to whether this machine will be marketed in an already saturated UK market, but I’m sure time will tell. We hope to find out more on this development at an upcoming Bobcat event in Dobris, Czech Republic. Check out this video from the guys over at US title Equipment World.
