Bobcat E165

E165 Large Excavator

The Bobcat E165 large excavator is engineered to deliver powerful, reliable performance for demanding digging, lifting and material handling applications. Built in the 16- to 18-ton class, this 131-hp excavator combines class-leading hydraulic performance with fast cycle times to maximize productivity on construction, infrastructure and commercial jobsites. Its conventional tail swing design provides superior lift capacity compared to reduced-tail-swing models, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications such as roadwork, bridge construction and site development. With four selectable power modes (Economy, Standard, Power & Power+), operators can easily match performance to the task—whether prioritizing fuel efficiency or maximizing breakout force and digging power.

Designed for uptime and operator comfort, the Bobcat E165 features a turbocharged, non-DPF engine that reduces maintenance requirements and eliminates regeneration downtime. Easy-access service points, centralized grease banks and a durable X-frame undercarriage simplify daily maintenance while improving longevity in tough conditions. Inside, a premium pressurized cab with a heated air-suspension seat, automotive-style HVAC and excellent all-around visibility keeps operators comfortable and productive throughout long workdays. Standard features like rear and side cameras, auto-shift travel and advanced machine protection systems enhance control, safety and efficiency—making the E165 a top choice for contractors looking for a high-performance large excavator with low total cost of ownership.

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.
