Bobcat E48 Excavator

E48 Compact Excavator

The Bobcat E48 compact excavator delivers powerful performance and precise control in a 4.5-ton mini excavator built for demanding construction, utility and landscaping jobs. With its conventional tail-swing design, added machine weight and high-performance hydraulics, the E48 provides impressive lift capacity and strong over-the-side digging capability. Dual flange track rollers enhance slewing stability and ride quality, while optional long arm and extendable arm configurations increase dig depth and reduce the need to reposition the machine. Designed for accuracy and efficiency, the E48 also offers blade float and compatibility with the Bobcat depth check system to help operators achieve precise grading with less rework.

Engineered for comfort and uptime, the Bobcat E48 features low-effort joysticks with fingertip boom swing and auxiliary controls for smooth, responsive multifunction operation. The redesigned R2-Series engine improves cold-weather performance and simplifies routine maintenance, with extended service intervals including going from the 500-hour interval to a 750-hour service, and larger fuel filters for enhanced protection. Inside the spacious cab, operators can choose premium features such as a heated high-back seat, rearview camera and bright LED work lights for improved visibility in low-light conditions. For contractors seeking a durable, high-performing compact excavator with advanced hydraulics and operator-focused comfort, the E48 delivers productivity without compromise.

Testimonials

First time owner of a bobcat machine and have seen nothing but great service all around. From Malique on the sales team being highly knowledgeable and straightforward, getting things done fast and right the first time. To the field techs sent out to diagnose and fix the issues covered under warranty. Both Felix and Brock field techs were very thorough in inspecting and updating me consistently during service calls. Over-all very professionally run branch and would highly recommend. Looking forward to doing more business with you guys.

I used Bobcat Brampton for their rental services. I dealt with Chris in the rental department office and he was fantastic. The staff in the yard was extremely helpful and friendly. I cannot emphasize how impressed I was at the level of professionalism and courtesy all the the staff demonstrated. The customer service here is absolutely exceptional. Based on my two rental experiences, I would absolutely purchase a piece of equipment here in the future based off how well I was treated and valued. I will continue to use this location for any additional rental needs. A++ service, thanks so much!

If your interested in purchasing a machine, ask for Ryan Durkin. After putting the deposit for my machine in November to secure fall promotional pricing, my business was secured. Delivery was set for March. During the course of the winter, Ryan answered all my questions with priority and kept working for me until the day my machine was delivered. Usually once a salesman secures the sale, they stop putting forth that extra effort. Not Ryan. Highly recommend.
