Bobcat E38

E38 Compact Excavator

The Bobcat E38 compact excavator delivers leading horsepower and hydraulic performance in a zero-tail-swing design built for confined jobsites. Powered by a 33-horsepower engine, the E38 provides strong digging force, fast cycle times and smooth, predictable control for trenching, grading and material handling. Its zero-tail-swing configuration allows unrestricted rotation, making it ideal for working near structures, fences and other obstacles. Advanced hydraulics maximize working-range horsepower, while the integrated rear counterweight and dual-flange roller system enhance over-the-side lift capacity and stability. Optional configurations, including an extendable arm and angle blade, increase reach, grading efficiency and overall jobsite versatility.

Engineered for productivity and comfort, the Bobcat E38 mini excavator offers premium cab features designed to reduce fatigue and improve performance throughout long workdays. Operators can choose from an open canopy or enclosed cab with advanced technology, including compatibility with the Bobcat depth check system for accurate grade control without leaving the seat. Fingertip boom swing control, blade float and available 2-Speed travel with Auto-Shift provide smooth multifunction operation and improved mobility. A durable X-frame undercarriage, simplified maintenance access, greaseless boom swing cylinder pin joint and corrosion-resistant electrical components help reduce downtime and maximize uptime. For contractors seeking a zero-tail-swing compact excavator with high-performance hydraulics and operator-focused comfort, the E38 is built to accomplish more in less time.

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.
