The turbo-charged Bobcat® E165 large excavator provides optimized performance for heavy digging and lifting operations. Class-leading hydraulics give operators reliable, steady power to the work group to save time with every digging cycle. The E165 large excavator offers a conventional tail swing that brings you the best possible lift capacity, so you can pick and place heavy items with ease.
This 131-hp excavator, in the 16 – 18 ton size class, is ideal for roadways, railroads, bridges, infrastructure, and commercial and urban jobsites. Plus, more slewing torque means increased power for slewing, backfilling and all-around better productivity on your jobsite.
Features may include:
Unmatched power to help you push through your toughest jobs.
Get the job done quickly and efficiently, thanks to class-leading hydraulics that deliver powerful arm and bucket forces, more slew torque, leading lift capacity and fast cycle times.
Four selectable power modes provide you with adaptable performance so you can tackle the job as you see fit. Whether you need all-out power or efficient fuel consumption, choose from Power+ mode, Power mode, Standard power mode or Economy mode.
Match performance to task, choosing from four work modes that tailor the large excavator’s power for digging or lifting. Work modes include Digging, Lifting, Breaker and Shear.
Large excavators with a conventional tail swing deliver the best possible lift capacity compared to models with the reduced tail swing.
The turbocharged engine provides consistently high torque levels, regardless of the elevation where you’re working.
When turning, pushing and maneuvering, the auto shift feature improves machine responsiveness and controllability by automatically shifting to low range when the load is high and shifting back to high range when the load diminishes. All you need to do is control speed and direction.
Get increased ground clearance and maneuverability on softer ground with the X-frame undercarriage. It has sloped surfaces that shed debris to prevent material buildup and reduce the time you spend cleaning the undercarriage.
The large excavator’s engine meets all of the latest Tier 4 emissions requirements.
Variable Speed Control improves fuel efficiency up to 5% by automatically reducing engine rpm during low workload requirements, such as the slew portion of a dig cycle.
