Bobcat E10e - Compact Excavator

The Bobcat electric excavator lineup delivers all the benefits of owning and operating an electric-powered compact excavator without sacrificing performance. We’ve turned the concept of reliable battery power into a proven game changer in the compact equipment industry.  Featuring state-of-the-art, lithium-ion battery technology, the E10e, E19e and E32e perform as well – or better – than their diesel-powered equivalents, providing the same power, and near-instantaneous torque. The battery systems deliver high-energy density, long service life and require no routine maintenance. The result is strong breakout forces, smooth operator control functions and loads of workgroup power. The batteries provide about four hours of continuous runtime, or between six and eight hours of runtime using breaks to recharge.

The performance of our advanced hydraulic systems already set Bobcat apart.

The Battery Management System protects the lithium-ion batteries, extends battery life and optimizes power usage for highly efficient operations. This system monitors the batteries and will de-rate or shut down the excavator to prevent damage to the batteries. 

The E10e is powered by two lithium-ion batteries that provide a total capacity of 11.5 kWh. The battery system supplies power to an electric motor which drives hydraulic pumps. The pumps pressurize hydraulic fluid for operation of the excavator’s workgroup functions, attachments and tracks. The lithium-ion batteries also power an independent 12-volt battery system which runs the work lights and certain controls. 

The electric power needed to recharge the battery system costs a fraction of diesel, and these highly efficient excavators are built with fewer parts and fluids, which significantly reduces maintenance and repair costs, as well as work time lost to maintenance and repairs. The lithium-ion batteries require no routine maintenance and include built-in protection against overcharging.   Operators will pay a fraction of the cost to power these machines for one hour compared to their diesel-powered counterparts.  The hourly “fuel” savings multiplied over a year - or even a week – will make a huge difference to your bottom line. 

Having a Bobcat electric compact excavator in your fleet can create new business opportunities. These low, noise, zero-emission machines can work, both indoors and out, where other excavators are off limits.

Producing no emissions, the E10e, E19e and E32e can quickly tackle tough indoor and outdoor jobs – jobsites where the alternative is intensive and costly manual labor. These machines can also generate new business among a growing number of private companies, government agencies and individuals who choose to support eco-friendly construction practices and a more sustainable future. Government agencies and businesses are increasingly adopting environmental, social and governance principles that give priority to sustainable business practices.

We’ve backed our state-of-the-art, rechargeable energy storage system with a warranty many competitors can’t touch. The system is backed with a five-year or 2,500-hour warranty for unbeatable protection.

The standard motion alarm (audio signal) activates when the excavator is traveling. The E10e, E19e and E32e also feature a standard beacon light on the top of the canopy. The beacon emits a bright orange strobe light whenever the excavator is turned on. The E10e and E32e are also equipped with a horn for added operational awareness.

Easily change between “excavator” and “backhoe” patterns with an electronic control pattern switch. The switch is conveniently located on the console so operators can change between ISO and standard controls without leaving the seat.

Maneuver faster with standard two-speed travel. The quicker you can move on the job site, the faster you can complete your work. For work on large job sites, two-speed travel increases your productivity all day long. Select low range for pushing and dozing and high range for increased job site mobility. 

The integrated rear counterweight lowers the center of gravity, further enhancing the stability of the undercarriage design. Operators can dig and slew with more confidence, improving digging performance. 

The zero-tail swing E10e offers the greatest flexibility. The rear of the house stays within the width of the tracks through full rotation. Slew and deposit soil where you need it, reposition the machine fewer times, and worry less about inadvertently contacting any surrounding objects.

Your work doesn’t stop until the job is done. Early in the morning or late at night, illuminate poorly lit jobsites with a bright and reliable halogen work light. 

Hydraulically retract the undercarriage to just 28-inches wide for access to small job sites- both indoors and out. Then return the undercarriage to its 43-inch stance for a wider footprint and leading performance. The dozer blade also can be retracted at each side for greater access to jobsites. 

The standard blade can be retracted at each side for greater access to tight jobsites. Once in position for work, the blade can be extended to cover more ground.

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. 

The short pitch, interlocking rubber tracks provide optimal engagement with the rollers, reducing vibration during travel and delivering a more comfortable ride.

The hydraulic joystick controls deliver smooth, fluid operation and increased efficiency. The joystick control console can be narrowed to match the tracks’ width or extended out to improve operator comfort.

The E10e and E19e feature two-way auxiliary hydraulic flow to power attachments that require bi-directional hydraulic flow.

The auxiliary hydraulic couplers, located on the excavator boom, are in easy reach for quick connections. The quick couplers feature a low-profile design, set close to the boom’s surface to protect against damage. 

The foot pedal boom swing controls can be folded away for more floor space and convenient cleaning. 

With a small footprint, zero emissions and in-track swing frame, the E10e, E19e and E32e can gain access and work where other excavators can’t. Producing no emissions, these excavators can work indoors as well as on tight outdoor jobsites – work areas where the alternative is often intensive and costly manual labor. Having a Bobcat electric compact excavator in your fleet can also generate new business opportunities among a growing number of companies, government agencies and individuals who support eco-friendly jobsite practices and a more sustainable future. Government agencies and businesses are increasingly adopting environmental, social and governance principles that give priority to sustainable business practices.
