2026 Bobcat® Large Excavators E245

The Bobcat® E245 large excavator tops the Bobcat lineup for high-volume digging and lifting capability, plus smart efficiency and comfort-driven operator productivity.

Features may include:

• While in digging work mode, SPC matches load to engine rpm, hydraulic pump torque and engine response, improving efficiency in any of the four power modes. Operators can activate it in digging work mode, and they can turn it off whenever necessary.

• Designed with two variable displacement pumps, Bobcat large excavators deliver maximum hydraulic power for superior cycle times. This feature also enhances multifunctioning performance when operating attachments and the work group functions at the same time.

• A standard lift arm configuration of nearly 3 meters maximizes breakout forces and provides plenty of reach for all types of digging and lifting tasks.

• Designed for high torque at low rpm, the turbo-charged Tier 4 compliant Bobcat engine is made for reliable, efficient performance on your most challenging jobs. Turbo-charged performance ensures consistent torque levels, regardless of the elevation where you work.

• Variable speed control improves fuel efficiency by automatically reducing engine rpm during low workload requirements, such as the slew portion of a dig cycle.

• Save fuel and lower noise to improve operator comfort and jobsite communications. Standard auto idle reduces the engine idle speed automatically when machine movement stops for several seconds. When you move the joystick controls or initiate travel, the engine automatically returns to the previously set throttle position.

• When turning, pushing and maneuvering, auto shift improves machine responsiveness and controllability by shifting to low range automatically when the load is high. When the load diminishes, auto shift goes back to high range. All you need to do is control speed and direction.

• Reduced tail swing, available on the E145 and E245, allows for greater maneuverability in tight jobsites, enabling operators to confidently use the machine around obstacles or against walls.

• Lift heavier loads and tackle tough digging faster. Or get through heavy attachment work with greater ease. The standard counterweight optimizes your lift capacity and heightens your productivity.
