OPTIONAL ROTATION PIPING Operate multifunctional attachments, such as the rotating grapple, with optional rotation piping. TWO VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT PUMPS The E145 is designed with two variable displacement pumps to deliver maximum hydraulic power to multifunctioning attachments and the excavator’s workgroup functions at the same time. 3-METER LONG ARM The E145 features an arm measuring nearly 10 feet long for added reach. TURBOCHARGED ENGINE - 115 HP (GROSS), 109 HP (NET) Designed for high torque at low rpm, the turbocharged, 115-hp Bobcat engine is made for reliable, efficient performance on your most challenging jobs. Turbocharged performance ensures consistent torque levels, regardless of the elevation where you work. The engine meets Tier 4 emissions standards without a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This solution reduces downtime lost to DPF regeneration and minimizes long-term maintenance costs. SMART POWER CONTROL (SPC) While in digging work mode, Smart Power Control (SPC) matches load to engine rpm, hydraulic pump torque and engine response, improving efficiency in any of the four power modes. Operators can activate it in digging work mode, and they can turn it off whenever necessary. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL 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. PUMP TORQUE CONTROL Pump Torque Control prevents engine overload by matching the hydraulic demand with available engine horsepower. AUTO IDLE Save fuel and reduce noise to improve operator comfort and jobsite communications. Auto idle, a standard feature, idles the engine automatically when excavator movement stops for several seconds. When you move the joystick controls or initiate travel, the engine automatically returns to the previously set throttle position. AUTO SHIFT 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. X-FRAME UNDERCARRIAGE 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. FAST CYCLE TIMES To deliver leading cycle times, two variable displacement axial piston pumps provide maximum speed, power and efficiency in even the most difficult digging conditions. REDUCED TAIL SWING A reduced tail swing allows greater and enhanced maneuverability in tight jobsites, enabling operators to confidently use the large excavator around obstacles or against walls. OPTIONAL DOZER BLADE An optional dozer blade is available for improved digging stability, leveling uneven surfaces, and to allow fast, easy backfilling. TIER 4 COMPLIANT The large excavator’s engine meets all of the latest Tier 4 emissions requirements. CLEAR VISIBILITY The large cabin provides superior visibility to the front and sides. An overhead window gives you great visibility above the machine. Narrow corner pillars and small window joints – as well as a removable lower-front window – provide a view that allows you to see the work comfortably, without obstruction or strain. Even the window wiper is mounted on the pillar instead of on the glass surface. Front and top sun shades provide additional protection from eye strain while enhancing comfort. 360 ALL-AROUND VIEW MONITORING CAMERA Get an aerial view of your environment around the excavator with the all-around view monitoring camera (AVM) system. Four cameras, strategically mounted on the Bobcat E145, combine to create a composite overhead view that you can monitor on the 8-inch touch display. You'll have better awareness of your machine's surroundings to improve operation and maneuverability. PANTOGRAPH WIPER The new pantograph wiper design, mounted on the pillar instead of the glass surface, provides more coverage to keep the front window clear in wet or damp weather.
