Bobcat E245 Large Excavator for Sale with Reduced Tail Swing, 189.1-HP Power, and Smart Efficiency
The Bobcat E245 large excavator is designed for operators who need high-volume digging and lifting performance with improved maneuverability around obstacles, structures, walls, equipment, traffic, and tight jobsites. Its reduced tail swing helps crews work confidently in confined areas, while the 189.1-horsepower turbo-charged Bobcat engine delivers reliable torque for tough excavation, lifting, loading, grading, and attachment work. With Smart Power Control, four selectable power modes, two variable displacement pumps, auto idle, auto shift, variable speed control, standard counterweight, and auto shutdown, the E245 helps operators balance maximum production with fuel-conscious operation.
189.1-horsepower turbo-charged engine: The Bobcat E245 delivers powerful high-torque performance for high-volume digging, heavy lifting, truck loading, trenching, grading, backfilling, and demanding construction work.
Tier 4 non-DPF engine: The non-DPF engine design helps simplify maintenance and eliminates work stoppages caused by diesel particulate filter regeneration.
Reduced tail swing maneuverability: Reduced tail swing allows operators to work more confidently around walls, buildings, roadways, utilities, equipment, and tight jobsite obstacles.
Smart Power Control: Smart Power Control matches load to engine rpm, hydraulic pump torque, and engine response to maximize efficiency across the E245’s power modes.
Four selectable power modes: Power+, Power, Standard, and Economy modes allow operators to choose maximum digging performance, quick loading, balanced operation, or fuel-saving precision based on the job.
Four selectable work modes: Digging, Lifting, One-Way, and Two-Way work modes tailor excavator power and auxiliary hydraulic flow for excavation, lifting, breakers, compactors, clamps, tilting buckets, shears, and other attachments.
Standard counterweight: The standard counterweight optimizes lift capacity, improves stability, and supports productivity during heavy digging, lifting, and attachment operation.
Bobcat E245 Features, Benefits, and Attachment Options
The Bobcat E245 large excavator includes performance, durability, comfort, serviceability, telematics, and versatility features designed to support large construction, roadwork, infrastructure, utility, commercial, and site development projects. From high-volume digging and lifting to attachment operation, truck loading, trenching, grading, backfilling, and material placement, the E245 provides strong hydraulic power, responsive controls, durable construction, and operator-focused technology for tough work.
Two variable displacement pumps: Dual pumps deliver maximum hydraulic power for superior cycle times and improved multifunctioning when using attachments and workgroup functions together.
Standard lift arm: The nearly 3-meter standard lift arm helps maximize breakout forces while providing the reach needed for digging, lifting, grading, and loading tasks.
Variable speed control: Variable speed control improves fuel efficiency by automatically reducing engine rpm during lower workload requirements, such as the slew portion of a dig cycle.
Auto idle: Auto idle reduces engine idle speed when machine movement stops, helping save fuel, lower noise, and improve jobsite communication.
Auto shift: Auto shift improves responsiveness by shifting to low range automatically under high load and returning to high range when the load decreases.
Auto shutdown: Auto shutdown helps reduce fuel use and machine wear by shutting the excavator off after a selected idle interval.
Hydraulic attachment management: The display allows operators to configure multiple attachment presets, helping optimize pressure and flow for one-way and two-way hydraulic attachments.
Quick-coupler option: The optional hydraulic pin-grabber quick coupler allows operators to swap non-hydraulic attachments from the seat, helping complete more tasks with one machine.
Roller switch and foot pedal attachment control: Operators can vary two-way attachment speed with the joystick roller switch or foot pedal, making it easier to control clamps, shears, and other hydraulic tools.
Bobcat attachment versatility: Approved Bobcat large excavator attachments, buckets, thumbs, quick couplers, and hydraulic tools help the E245 do more than dig.
