It will appear alongside the E38 compact excavator, now equipped with upgraded depth-check technology that helps accelerate accurate trenching and grading, and the D70S-9 diesel pneumatic tire forklift, offering attendees a first look at one of the power players in the new 9-Series lineup. 

Supported by a full lineup of job-site-ready attachments and equipment, these machines underscore Bobcat’s commitment to delivering the performance, reliability, and efficiency today’s concrete crews count on. 

Bobcat E20 Compact Excavator

The next-generation E20 compact excavator is built for productivity in tight, restrictive workspaces where larger machines simply cannot go. Its zero tail-swing design, retractable undercarriage, and in-track swing frame deliver the maneuverability operators need to work smarter in congested or complex environments. 

A redesigned hydraulic system provides smoother, more responsive controls and improved multi-functioning, allowing operators to perform precise work with greater confidence. The E20 also features a new long blade and extension design that handles more material while enhancing grading and leveling performance. 

Inside the cab, new premium joysticks enable fine movements and precise positioning for improved control during detailed tasks. Combined with a 1,098-pound rated lift capacity, a 24% more arm digging force, and 26% more lifting capacity over the blade compared to the previous model, the E20 delivers a powerful, efficient upgrade for demanding jobsites.

The Bobcat E38 compact excavator will be on display with the 24-inch trenching bucket. The E38 delivers strong performance with a 33-horsepower engine, advanced hydraulics, and a zero-tail-swing design that enables confident rotation in tight or congested spaces. 

Bobcat said operators benefit from a comfortable, productivity-focused cab with multiple configuration options, plus flexible arm choices to match specific digging and lifting needs. Bobcat’s exclusive In-Track Swing Frame keeps swing castings and cylinders within the tracks for precise offset digging and reduced risk of jobsite damage. 

To further enhance productivity, the E38 features an integrated depth check system that allows operators to track depth, grade and slope directly from the cab for faster, more accurate results.

Bobcat D70S-9 Pneumatic Tire Forklift 

The Bobcat D70S-9 diesel pneumatic tire forklift is built for heavy material handling on concrete and construction jobsites, where crews rely on dependable equipment to keep workflows moving. 

From moving pallets and bulk materials to loading and staging supplies, its 15,500-pound lift capacity helps teams work more efficiently and maintain steady production. The D70S-9 is powered by one of the cleanest-burning diesel engines in its class, delivering strong performance with notably low operating costs. This combination of power, reliability and cost efficiency makes it a productive addition to high-demand jobsites.
