Bobcat E88

E88 Compact Excavator

The Bobcat E88 compact excavator delivers industry-leading lift capacity and breakout force, making it one of the most powerful machines in the 8-ton compact excavator class. This conventional tail-swing excavator comes standard with a long arm for greater reach and digging depth, along with optimized hydraulic metering for smooth, precise control and fast cycle times. Powered by a reliable non-DPF Tier 4 engine, the E88 reduces maintenance complexity while maximizing uptime. Dual flange track rollers enhance stability when lifting or digging over the side, while providing a smoother ride across rough terrain for improved operator confidence and jobsite performance.

Designed for productivity and comfort, the spacious cab features low-effort joysticks, advanced machine monitoring through an available touch display, and optional upgrades such as a heated high-back seat, rear-view camera and Machine IQ telematics. The available Bobcat depth check system helps operators achieve accurate grades without leaving the cab, reducing over-digging and rework. With an optional angle blade for faster backfilling and grading, an integrated lift eye for material handling and improved cold-weather operation, the Bobcat E88 compact excavator is built for contractors who demand power, precision and durability on every jobsite.

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.
