Bobcat E38

E38

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.
