Description
The 2019 Bobcat E55 is a 5.5-ton class compact excavator built for digging, trenching, grading, and utility work in tight spaces. It combines a 48.8 HP engine, a 12,004 lb (5,445 kg) operating weight, and a 12.9 ft (3.93 m) maximum dig depth for real production in a maneuverable package.
An advanced hydraulic system delivering 20.2 GPM (76.5 L/min) drives smooth, precise boom and attachment control, while the enclosed cab offers strong visibility and operator comfort for long shifts. A conventional tail swing and 77.2 in (196 cm) width keep it stable and transportable.
