Bobcat E40

E40 Compact Excavator

The Bobcat E40 compact excavator delivers one of the highest lift capacities in its size class, giving contractors a clear performance advantage on demanding construction, utility and landscaping jobs. With minimal tail swing — less than two inches of overhang — and a standard long arm for extended reach, the E40 is built to complete big projects in tight workspaces. Powered by a reliable non-DPF Bobcat engine, this compact excavator eliminates regeneration downtime while delivering strong digging and lifting performance. Carefully tuned hydraulics, a durable slew bearing and a finely matched main control valve provide smooth metering, fast cycle times and precise control when backfilling trenches or slewing a loaded bucket uphill.

Designed for durability and operator comfort, the Bobcat E40 features dual-flange track rollers for greater over-the-side lift capacity and a smoother ride across rough jobsites. The efficient cooling system with side-by-side heat exchangers improves temperature control, reduces noise and simplifies cleanout, while extended service intervals — including an increase from 500-hour to 750-hour service interval — help maximize uptime. Inside the spacious cab, tall windows, narrow pillars and a durable polycarbonate top window enhance visibility, while a suspension seat and fold-away pedals increase comfort and floor space. With options like an angle blade for faster grading, bright LED work lights and a standard lift eye for material handling, the E40 compact excavator is engineered to deliver productivity, precision and long-term reliability.
