2026 Bobcat® R2-Series E40
With a lift capacity among the best in its size class, the E40 gives you an impressive performance advantage. A tough, no-nonsense compact excavator, the E40 combines high maneuverability with powerful lifting and slewing capabilities. You’ll complete big projects in tight workspaces – and in less time.
Features may include:
Leading Lift Capacity- The E40's lift capacity is among the best in its class. It delivers an over-the-blade lift capacity and over-the-side lift capacity that competitors can only achieve or come close to with conventional tail-swing models. With the E40, operators get high performance, fast cycle times and optimal maneuverability at base pricing.
- With its carefully tuned hydraulics, durable slew bearing and powerful engine, the E40 gives you a noticable performance advantage when backfilling trenches or slewing a loaded bucket uphill.
- The E40 is powered by a 40-hp, Tier 4, turbocharged Bobcat engine. Operators will notice turbo-charged performance with consistently high torque levels, regardless of elevation, plus a number of convenient features that reduce and simplify routine maintenance. It also offers excellent cold-weather operation.
- The Tier 4 engine achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). This means fewer components for easier maintenance, plus no work stoppage due to DPF regeneration.
- The large E40 fuel filter provides optimum system protection and longer filter life. It has a large holding capacity to capture impurities for long intervals, extending the life of the fuel filter. The filter is also easy to change. It includes a clear water bowl for easy monitoring and a sensor to notify you when draining is needed. To simplify upkeep, the display lets you know when the filter needs to be serviced.
- The main valve of the E40 is finely tuned to deliver ideal performance that's matched to the boom, blade and travel motors. It's also designed for improved metering and finite movement, providing optimal controllability and fast cycle times. On every job, you can rely on exceptional performance and power that's measured in more accomplished per hour.
- A large boom cylinder and cylinder mount on the swing casting provide extra strength for penetrating tough ground or lifting heavy loads.
- The standard lift eye gives you a convenient method for handling objects or moving them in and out of the trench.
- The counterweight comes standard to support the E40's enhanced reach and digging-depth capabilities.
