The E26 joins the brand new E-generation of excavators from Bobcat introduced over the past 18 months.
The 4-plate field design for the workgroup, top resistant DCPD covers and ‘fast lock’ hydraulic connections give a contribution to reliability and steadiness, Bobcat says. The 4-plate field design reduces weight within the workgroup which, along side weight being added behind the excavator, has made it imaginable to transport the centre of gravity against the rear of the device for higher steadiness.
The higher steadiness implies that the E26 mini-excavator does now not require an extra counterweight when configured with the not obligatory lengthy dipperstick. This will increase the operating vary whilst nonetheless restricting the load of the cabbed lengthy arm model of the E26 to 2700 kg to permit it to be transported via trailer (most towable weight, together with trailer: 3500kg).
The E26 makes use of the similar cab that Bobcat makes use of on its 3t to 5t excavators, with the door ready to be totally opened inside the width of the higher construction to scale back the possibility of device harm.
The keep watch over gadget, which mechanically displays the engine and hydraulic methods and shuts them down within the tournament of an issue, additionally mechanically turns off the paintings lighting fixtures after 10 mins when the secret is now not within the ignition to stop the battery being run down. A battery kill transfer supplies added safety.
The growth swing is managed via a thumb wheel situated at the left joystick, as a substitute of the pedal keep watch over used on many machines of this dimension.
Pilot controls for the blade mechanically organize the floating of the blade relative to the tracks so the operator does now not wish to often modify the blade, Bobcat says.
A brand new function at the E26 mini-excavator is the auto-shift shuttle motor permitting the device to shift mechanically from low to top pace and vice-versa, which Bobcat says improves shuttle efficiency in all operating prerequisites. The operator too can turn on this selection via pushing the button on most sensible of the blade keep watch over lever.
The E26 has a fifteen.5kW Kubota D1105-E2B-BCZ-2 diesel engine and a brand new air consumption, cooling and exhaust gadget, serving to to scale back noise for operators to 77 dBA and for bystanders to 91 dBA.
