BOBCAT Australia has released the E60 excavator, part of the new M-Series line of loaders and excavators. The E60 is a new model size in the 6t weight class. Like the recently-launched E80, the E60 features a new design that increases the comfort of the operator and the durability of the machine, while decreasing the frequency needed for some preventive maintenance tasks.

Everything about the new excavator has been created to help keep operators working longer, including a spacious cab and polymer shims to decrease wear on the lateral pins. Daily greasing of the bushings at the boom, arm and bucket pivot is a thing of the past since the E60 has extended the service interval of greasing the bushings to 250 hours.

The E60 has upgraded operator comfort by offering a spacious cab with an operator seat that adjusts nine ways and a heating and air conditioning system with automotive-style controls. A fixed instrument panel on the right side of the cab is a central display for all of the information the operator needs on machine performance.

The E60 is delivered clamp-ready for operators who want to quickly and easily add and use a clamp. In addition to clamps, Bobcat provides a number of attachments available for use on the excavator. The X-Change attachment quick coupler system, standard on the E60, allows the operator to quickly change between attachments. A complete line of attachments including trenching buckets, hydraulic breakers, earth augers and a grading bucket are available.

The E60’s Interim Tier 4, 42.4 kW engine has an auto-idle feature, reducing fuel consumption when the machine is not working. Engine rpm is controlled electronically so that the operator uses only as much engine power as necessary for the application.

With minimal tail swing, the E60 can work in compact work environments and next to buildings or other obstructions. The excavator features the Bobcat in-track swing frame, which enables the boom to stay within the width of the tracks, making it even easier for the excavators to work in constricted job conditions. The E60 is available with either rubber tracks or steel tracks. The E60, standard-equipped with cab and HVAC system, has a dig depth of 4.1m and an operating weight of 6.1t with rubber tracks.
