R-SERIES COMPACT EXCAVATORS
New R-Series Models Tailored for Specific Audiences
The new range of five compact excavator models – the E26, E27z, E27, E34 and E35z – offers a best-in-class mix of high digging forces, superb stability and smooth controllability of working functions complemented by low weights for easy transportation. Excellent machine fit and finish plus new ground-breaking design features will make the new Bobcat R-Series unique on the market.
The new excavators introduce many state-of-the-art features and offer enhanced levels of quality and robustness. They utilize newly developed flexible machine platforms that allow different configurations of models and specifications to suit a wide range of applications and customer needs. In addition, while taking engineering and productivity to unheralded heights, the development team for the new machines has ensured they offer greatly enhanced operator comfort and functionality and the best fit for key applications.
Key R-Series Benefits
Built around operator roomy and comfortable cab, easy to operate, ergonomic, greatvisibility.
Exceptional Mix of Bobcat’s traditional performance and the best-in-class controllability.
Lower transport weight (2-3 T machines), increased 360° stability.
New dynamic styling, best-in-class fit and finish.
New 2-4T R-Series machines for European markets are designed and produced in Europe, but also exported to Latin America, South East Asia, Middle East, Africa and India.
Selectable Auxiliary Control (SAC)
The operator can now select a new industry unique 'Selectable Auxiliary Control' (SAC) system for up to five independent auxiliary hydraulic circuits. The SAC enables the operator to select/switch the control pattern for the auxiliary lines, which allows them to work with the most advanced attachments in the most convenient way.
Cylinder-Inside-Boom (CIB)
Another unique feature is the revolutionary cylinder-inside-boom (CIB) design concept which provides strong, innovative protection for the boom cylinder as part of a reinforced workgroup designed to minimize free play and improve durability.
New Models
E26
Specifications
Operating weight with cab and bucket: 2600 kgMaximum power at RPM (ISO 14396): 15.3 kW @ 2400
Overall width: 1500 mm
Maximum digging depth: 2568 mm
Maximum dump height: 2845 mm
Maximum reach at ground level: 4413 mm
Digging force: 16.0 kN
Bucket force: 23.7 kN
The new generation of the popular E26 is an easy-to-use, robust machine optimized for specific rental industry needs while introducing the next level of operator comfort and features required by demanding owner operators. The new E26 excavator has a transport weight reduced by 100 kg but increased over-the-side lifting capacity. To overcome a common issue in the rental market and thus protect the uptime, the E26 is now equipped with extra innovative features such as the Cylinder-Inside-Boom (CIB) workgroup and its geometry, increasing protection against bucket collision with the cab.
E27z
Specifications
Operating weight with cab and bucket: 2700 kgMaximum power at RPM (ISO 14396): 15.3 kW @ 2400
Overall width: 1550 mm
Maximum digging depth(SA/LA): 2547/2847 mm
Maximum dump height(SA/LA): 3043/3243 mm
Maximum reach at ground level(SA/LA): 4518/4814 mm
Digging force(SA/LA): 16.0/13.5 kN
Bucket force: 23.7 kN
The new E27z model further enhances the excellent performance characteristics of Bobcat’s current E26 machine, with the largest cab for this size of machine on the market. As a true Zero House Swing (ZHS) machine (even with the optional heavy counterweight), the E27z offers the highest flexibility of movements when working close to walls, coupled with best-in-class 360-degree stability and a low weight for easy transportation. With the optional long arm and a premium cab, the E27z offers the digging output and operator comfort of much larger excavators, making it a machine of choice for urban operating construction companies.
E27
Specifications
Operating weight with cab and bucket: 2675 kgMaximum power at RPM (ISO 14396): 18.3 kW @ 2400
Overall width: 1550 mm
Maximum digging depth: 2847 mm
Maximum dump height: 3243 mm
Maximum reach at ground level: 4604 mm
Digging force: 16.0 kN
Bucket force: 26.5 kN
The new conventional swing E27 model introduces an in-class unique combination of superior stability, class leading digging performance and breakout forces, together with a transport weight that is still below the weight limits for appropriate trailers. Even with the optional heavy counterweight, the E27 offers just 280mm of tail overhang which allows the machine to be operated in confined spaces. This makes the machine an ideal tool for highly demanding applications where performance together with transportability have a priority over compactness.
E34
Specifications
Operating weight with cab and bucket: 3370 kgMaximum power at RPM (ISO 14396): 18.2 kW @ 2200
Overall width: 1550 mm
Maximum digging depth(SA/LA): 3117/3417 mm
Maximum dump height(SA/LA): 3340/3521 mm
Maximum reach at ground level(SA/LA): 4980/5270 mm
Digging force(SA/LA): 20.5/18.0 kN
Bucket force: 31.0 kN
Moving to the E34, this is a new generation 3.4 tonne conventional model offering higher stability coupled with excellent performance and further enhanced controllability. It features a new roomy premium cab with optional powerful air conditioning to ensure an ideal operator environment in all weather conditions. When transportability on a trailer and zero house swing are not needed, this machine offers a great mix of performance, stability and operator comfort.
E35z
Specifications
Operating weight with cab and bucket: 3550 kgMaximum power at RPM (ISO 14396): 18.2 kW @ 2200
Overall width: 1750 mm

Maximum dump height(SA/LA): 3340/3521 mm
Maximum reach at ground level(SA/LA): 5230/5520 mm
Digging force(SA/LA): 20.5/18.0 kN
Bucket force: 31.0 kN
The E35z, a new generation model in the popular 3.5 tonne machine class offers the additional benefits of ZHS design. This excavator provides the best possible mix of compactness, a large operating range for the workgroup (especially with the optional long arm), great stability (two counterweight options available) and a large and comfortable operator area. This machine tops out the R-Series range and will be appreciated by customers with a need for a high specification ZHS model, whilst preferring the lower cost of ownership compared to higher tonnage machines.
