Mini Excavators: Advanced Excavator Hydraulics
When it comes to performance, Bobcat® Mini Excavators are in a class by themselves. Each component - including the engine, pumps, and hydraulic system - are engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance. For you, that means faster cycle times and better jobsite productivity. Check out some of the benefits of this innovation below.
Smoother Operation
Confidently make precise movements in tight-fitting areas. Exclusive control valve systems on Bobcat excavators deliver consistent oil flow to all functions. For you, that means smoother operation without sacrificing cycle times.
Faster Cycle Times
Your excavator’s digging cycle time can mean the difference between hitting and missing a deadline. It’s the reason Bobcat excavators are engineered to produce more responsive horsepower than other brands. While horsepower specifications might appear the same on paper, you’re going to notice the difference in cycle times on the jobsite.
Optional Clamp Diverter Valve
With the optional clamp diverter valve, available on select models, you can get enhanced hydraulic clamp functionality and improved ability to run other excavator attachments – without disconnecting the clamp.
More Useable Power
High-efficiency, torque-limiting piston pumps in the hydraulic system match force to demand, continuously responding to loads and delivering more usable power.
Arm-Mounted Auxiliary Hydraulics
Auxiliary hydraulics on select models are easier to reach and attach, thanks to a new location on the excavator arm.
