Bobcat Company adds three all-new models to its popular R2-Series compact excavator lineup. The E32, E35 25hp and E35 33hp compact excavators provide productivity and power found in Bobcat’s larger excavators in a smaller frame.

“The expansion of our R2-Series lineup shows our commitment to providing our customers with workhorses of all sizes, for any application, that will give operators the competitive edge day after day no matter what their tasks,” said Kelly Humble, senior marketing manager of product planning at Doosan Bobcat North America.

The E32, E35 25hp and E35 33hp are all ideally balanced to improve lift capacity with ease of use and efficiency in mind. The E35 33hp comes powered by a newly redesigned Bobcat engine that delivers efficiency and performance and also improves cold-weather operation.

The new low-effort joysticks, coupled with the new hydraulic control valve, offer improved metering, movement and controllability. Advanced hydraulic controls provide the ultimate horsepower advantage so operators can seamlessly swing the boom while operating an attachment.

Operator comfort

The cab for every R2-Series model is designed to enhance operator efficiency, performance and comfort. The interior houses an easy-to-reach control pattern selector right underneath the seat, so operators can switch between ISO and standard controls. The optional automatic heating and air conditioning adjust depending on the temperature of the cab. An optional high-back, heated seat with a headrest provides added support for long hours of operation/

Owners have the option to add on a waterproof, chemically hardened 7-inch touch display. Via a wide and easy-to-use touch screen, operators can access their mobile devices via Bluetooth™, connect with their dealer or customer easily through a quick contacts option and secure convenient touch operation.

The optional clamp diverter provides an improved ability to run a variety of attachments without having to disconnect the clamp. The standard lift eye provides a convenient method for handling objects or moving them in or out of a trench.
