Bobcat – other excavators and compact equipment: the collective page outside the named ranges, from the E10e to the E88 mini excavators through compact wheel loaders to a compressor and pallet trucks, 37 to 49 kW
This page gathers the Bobcat machines in the excavator and compaction category the register could not assign to a named range – above all mini excavators from the E10e to the E88, plus compact wheel loaders (L85, L95), the compact track loader MT120, the compact track loader T650, the compressor from the Medium Air range, and pallet trucks for pedestrian and ride-on operation. Bobcat, headquartered in West Fargo, North Dakota, belongs to the Doosan group and has built compact machines for construction, landscaping and internal logistics since the 1950s; the z in designations such as the E17z, E20z and E35z marks Bobcat's zero-tail-swing design, in which the rear of the excavator does not project beyond the machine's width when slewing.

The register lists here 21 versions with 37 to 49 kW, or 49 to 66 hp, from diesel engines.
Compact machines of this kind are the typical equipment of landscaping firms, equipment-rental companies and smaller building contractors, where tight spaces, low weight for transport and quick attachment changes matter more than large power reserves.
On used compact machines of this kind, operating hours and the condition of the engine and hydraulic pumps, wear on the undercarriage or tyres, the condition of bucket teeth and quick couplers, and the tightness of the hydraulic cylinders all matter; spare parts run through the Bobcat dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
