PERFORMANCE FOUR POWER MODES • Power+ mode: Get top work group speed to load trucks in less time or sustain peak digging performance when opening up hard ground. • Power mode: Command impressive power and performance for tough digging, quick loading and heavy lifting, and save even more time with fast travel. • Standard mode: Get balanced performance and reduced fuel usage for routine digging, lifting and grading. • Economy mode: Optimize fuel economy when power demands are lower or when doing precise digging and fine grading. SMART POWER CONTROL (SPC) While in digging work mode, 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. TWO VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT PUMPS Designed with two variable displacement pumps, Bobcat large excavators deliver maximum hydraulic power for superior cycle times. This feature also enhances multifunctioning performance when operating attachments and the work group functions at the same time. STANDARD LIFT ARM A standard lift arm configuration of nearly 3 meters maximizes breakout forces and provides plenty of reach for all types of digging and lifting tasks. TURBO-CHARGED TIER 4 BOBCAT ENGINE WITH NO DPF Designed for high torque at low rpm, the turbo-charged Tier 4 compliant Bobcat engine is made for reliable, efficient performance on your most challenging jobs. Turbo-charged performance ensures consistent torque levels, regardless of the elevation where you work. With no diesel particulate filter (DPF) on the E145, E220 and E245, there’s no work stoppage due to DPF regeneration. Plus, there’s one less component for easier maintenance. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL Variable speed control improves fuel efficiency by automatically reducing engine rpm during low workload requirements, such as the slew portion of a dig cycle. AUTO IDLE Save fuel and lower noise to improve operator comfort and jobsite communications. Standard auto idle reduces the engine idle speed automatically when machine 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, auto shift improves machine responsiveness and controllability by shifting to low range automatically when the load is high. When the load diminishes, auto shift goes back to high range. All you need to do is control speed and direction. REDUCED TAIL SWING Reduced tail swing, available on the E145 and E245, allows for greater maneuverability in tight jobsites, enabling operators to confidently use the machine around obstacles or against walls. STANDARD COUNTERWEIGHT Lift heavier loads and tackle tough digging faster. Or get through heavy attachment work with greater ease. The standard counterweight optimizes your lift capacity and heightens your productivity. AUTO SHUTDOWN When enabled, auto shutdown saves fuel and machine wear by automatically shutting the machine off after idling for a set amount of time. The default shutdown interval is five minutes, and it can be extended with the touch display settings. DURABILITY X-FRAME UNDERCARRIAGE Get increased ground clearance and maneuverability in 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. D-CHANNEL FRAME DESIGN The reinforced D-channel design of the upper structure frame adds strength to better withstand side impacts and protect machine components. SPLIT COOLING SYSTEM The cooling system design features an oil cooler and radiator that independently control the hydraulic system and engine temperatures for maximum cooling capacity. You’ll get better cooling in severe conditions and improved protection of critical components. VARIABLE SPEED HYDRAULIC COOLING FAN The hydraulic oil cooler’s variable speed cooling fan adjusts its speed as required by the demands on your excavator. This maintains optimal temperature in severe working conditions while reducing noise and increasing efficiency in lighter-duty situations. AIR-TO-AIR FUEL COOLER An air-to-air fuel cooler reduces fuel temperature to optimize fuel efficiency while improving engine component life. AUTOMATIC BELT TENSIONER The automatic belt tensioner maintains constant tension on the engine accessory belt, compensating for regular wear and maintaining the performance you demand. HEAVY-DUTY ARM AND BOOM Hard-wearing castings on the arm and boom along with pivot points constructed of forged steel ensure you can handle the toughest digging and harshest materials. Smart routing of hydraulic lines minimizes the points of potential impact to further enhance durability. MESH-PROTECTED AIR INLET To protect cooling performance and ensure long engine life, a honeycomb-style mesh protects the engine air intake and minimizes dirt accumulation in the engine area. HEAVY-DUTY WEAR PLATES Heavy-duty, wear-resistant plates at the end of the machine arm increase durability at the bucket pin-up point. PERMANENTLY SEALED, LUBRICATED TRACK PINS To reduce operating costs and eliminate downtime, pin links are permanently sealed and never need additional lubrication. RECESSED DRIVE MOTORS Drive motors are recessed within the track width, keeping them protected from jobsite hazards. CAST ENDS AND PIN BOSSES Every major pin point on the boom and arm is cast. Reinforced cast steel pin bosses provide extra strength for the tough working conditions you encounter on your job. Internal work group gussets enhance the integrity of the boom and arm structures to maximize their service life. VANDALISM PROTECTION FEATURES Your productivity depends on your excavator, and equipment is a common target for vandalism, misuse and even theft. Bobcat large excavators include a variety of features that protect your investment. • Anti-theft protection password reduces the chance of burglary or unauthorized use. • Lockable covers protect machine components from vandalism. • Lockable fuel fill points reduce the chance of diesel theft or contamination. CONTROL PATTERN SELECTOR VALVE WITH CHANGE HANDLE The control pattern selector valve is fitted with a handle to make quick and easy changes between ISO and standard operation patterns. MACHINE IQ TELEMATICS Bobcat large excavators come standard with Bobcat Machine IQ telematics, providing near-real-time visibility to your machine's location, health and security. COMFORT ROOMY, QUIET CAB WITH SUSPENSION AND SOUND ISOLATION Bobcat large excavators deliver the comfort you need for difficult work. The cab is roomy, quiet and features a suspension system that dampens vibration and ground feedback. Its pressurized seal minimizes dust and debris while isolating operators from noise outside the cab. The seat delivers superb adjustability and excellent lumbar support, while impressive visibility and simple controls make work more enjoyable.
