Bobcat E20 Compact Excavator for Sale with Zero Tail Swing, Long Arm Reach, and Retractable Access
The Bobcat E20 compact excavator is designed for operators who need reliable digging power, maximum maneuverability, and smooth control in confined jobsites. Its zero-tail-swing design keeps the rear of the house within the width of the tracks through full rotation, helping operators work close to walls, buildings, fences, foundations, landscaping, and other obstacles. With a standard long arm, retractable undercarriage, retractable long blade, large boom and blade cylinders, and a load-sensing pump with closed-center hydraulics, the E20 helps operators dig, lift, grade, backfill, trench, and operate attachments with confidence.
Zero-tail-swing maneuverability: The Bobcat E20 provides unrestricted rotation in tight spaces, helping operators work close to obstacles or against walls with reduced risk of contact.
Standard long arm: The long arm increases working range with added reach and higher dump height, allowing operators to complete more digging, loading, and trenching work with fewer repositioning stops.
Retractable undercarriage: The undercarriage retracts to just 38.6 inches wide for narrow access points, then expands to a 53.5-inch stance for stable digging, grading, lifting, and heavy-duty work.
Foldable long blade: The manually foldable blade narrows to 38.6 inches for access and extends to match the 53.5-inch undercarriage width for improved grading, leveling, and backfilling.
Blade float: Standard blade float helps simplify grading and leveling by allowing the blade to follow ground contours with minimal operator input.
Large boom and blade cylinders: Larger cylinders work with the hydraulic system to improve digging performance and maximize lifting capacity over the front with the blade down.
Optional enclosed cab with heat: The optional heated ROPS/FOPS certified cab helps operators stay comfortable and productive in harsh weather, cold conditions, and demanding jobsites.
Bobcat E20 Features, Benefits, and Excavation Capabilities
The Bobcat E20 compact excavator includes performance, comfort, uptime protection, serviceability, and versatility features designed to help operators complete more work in tight spaces. From precise trenching and smooth grading to backfilling, utility repair, landscaping, hardscaping, attachment operation, and residential excavation, the E20 provides the hydraulic power, control sensitivity, durability, and transportability needed for everyday productivity.
Load-sensing pump performance: The load-sensing pump makes full use of engine horsepower, helping improve lifting performance, digging force, machine recovery under load, and hydraulic efficiency.
Closed-center hydraulic system: The closed-center hydraulic system provides smooth, responsive multifunctioning and controllability, giving operators more power and flexibility to travel and operate the workgroup at the same time.
Premium joystick control: Premium joysticks offer fine movement, sensitive response, and a comfortable grip, helping operators position the workgroup more quickly and precisely with less fatigue.
Hydraulic travel controls: Hydraulically controlled travel provides smooth, precise movement compared to mechanical travel controls, improving operator confidence in tight areas.
Fingertip boom swing control: A rocker-style thumb switch on the left joystick provides precise boom swing metering while freeing up floor space and making simultaneous swing and travel easier.
Fingertip auxiliary controls: Fingertip auxiliary hydraulic controls make it easier to activate and control hydraulic attachments for improved productivity and low-fatigue operation.
In-Track Swing Frame: The Bobcat In-Track Swing Frame keeps swing castings and cylinders within the tracks during offset digging, helping operators dig flush against obstacles while reducing contact risk.
Two-speed travel: Two-speed travel lets operators use low range for pushing and dozing or high range for increased jobsite mobility, helping move faster between tasks.
Optional auto shift: Standard with the cab option, auto shift automatically transitions travel motors between high and low range for added tractive effort without manual downshifting.
Long blade performance: The redesigned taller blade handles more material, improves grading and backfilling, and includes improved blade extensions for quick width changes.
