2023 Bobcat E145

Comfort

• PREMIUM CAB: The Bobcat reputation for comfort continues with a premium cab that offers a variety of features to help operators power through the toughest jobs. Quiet Operation: The pressurized cab features a seamless sound-isolating seal to keep sound levels extremely low inside the large excavator’s operator station. Thorough sound isolation – down to individual components – reduces noise output outside the cab. The cabin frame and seat are even designed to minimize vibration and maximize your comfort. Adjustable Comfort: The heated air suspension seat is standard and offers a wide range of adjustment points to help any operator find optimal comfort. Individual adjustments can be made to the control stand, seat cushion, back recline, lumbar support, headrest and more. Additional Deluxe Cabin Features: The large excavator cab offers generous floor space, a wide entry/exit door, 180-degree swinging door and grab handles. For added comfort, a radio and antenna, CD player and MP3 player input, and 12V power port are all standard features.
• AUTO IDLE: Save fuel and reduce noise to improve operator comfort and jobsite communications. Auto idle, a standard feature, idles the engine automatically when excavator movement stops for several seconds. When you move the joystick controls or initiate travel, the engine automatically returns to the previously set throttle position.
• AUTOMOTIVE STYLE HEAT & AIR CONDITIONING: Bobcat large excavators include a premium heat and air conditioning system that enables impressive control over the cabin temperature. It functions similarly to many automotive systems. High-capacity heating and cooling vents enable fast, easy temperature adjustments for maximum comfort in extreme temperatures. Once you reach the desired temperature, the system senses and automatically adjusts to maintain a constant temperature setting. If you shut down the machine, it returns to the previously set temperature when you restart.
• CLEAR VISIBILITY: The large cabin provides superior visibility to the front and sides. An overhead window gives you great visibility above the machine. Narrow corner pillars and small window joints – as well as a removable lower-front window – provide a view that allows you to see the work comfortably, without obstruction or strain. Even the window wiper is mounted on the pillar instead of on the glass surface. Front and top sun shades provide additional protection from eye strain while enhancing comfort.

Performance

• POWERFUL HYDRAULICS: Powerful hydraulic, arm and bucket forces – with horsepower to spare – help you get the job done quickly and efficiently. Class-leading hydraulics provide reliable, steady power, saving time with every digging cycle. When the going gets tough, the convenient power-boost button on the right-hand joystick temporarily increases hydraulic power, allowing you to break through hard ground. More slew torque means more power for slewing uphill, backfilling and all-around better productivity. A combination of tail swing and hydraulic power delivers leading lifting capability, enabling you to lift more with greater confidence – so you can pick and place items with ease. Two variable displacement axial piston pumps provide maximum speed, power and efficiency to deliver fast cycle times, in even the most difficult digging conditions.
• FOUR POWER MODES: Four power modes give you adaptable performance - whether you need all-out power or efficient fuel consumption - to tackle the job as you see fit. Economy mode: Optimize fuel economy when power demands are lower or when doing precise digging and fine grading. Standard mode: Get balanced performance and reduced fuel usage for routine digging, lifting and grading. Power mode: Command impressive power and performance for tough digging, quick loading and heavy lifting, and save even more time with fast travel. Power+ Mode: Get top work group speed to load trucks in less time or sustain peak digging performance when opening up hard ground.
• SELECTABLE WORK MODES: Match performance to task, choosing from four work modes that tailor the large excavator’s power for digging or lifting. Two of the modes change the auxiliary hydraulic flow to use different types of attachments or protect hydraulic system components. Digging: This default setting delivers the power and response you need for general operation, from excavation to loading and lifting. The large excavator’s digging performance can be further enhanced with the four power modes. Smart Power Control (SPC): While in digging work mode, SPC matches load to engine rpm, hydraulic pump torque and engine response, improving efficiency in any of the four power modes. Activate it in digging work mode, and turn it off whenever necessary. Lifting: Increase pump torque, lower engine rpm and provide an automatic power boost for lifting materials and objects – like pipe or concrete barriers. Breaker: Also called one-way auxiliary hydraulic flow, this mode works great for attachments that only require hydraulic power from one direction, such as breakers or plate compactors. Shear: Also called two-way auxiliary hydraulic flow, this mode is best for excavator attachments that need bi-directional hydraulic flow, such as a hydraulic clamp, tilting bucket or shear.
• TURBOCHARGED ENGINE: The turbocharged engine provides consistently high torque levels, regardless of the elevation where you’re working.
• VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL: Variable Speed Control improves fuel efficiency up to 5% by automatically reducing engine rpm during low workload requirements, such as the slew portion of a dig cycle.
• AUTO SHIFT: When turning, pushing and maneuvering, the auto shift feature improves machine responsiveness and controllability by automatically shifting to low range when the load is high and shifting back to high range when the load diminishes. All you need to do is control speed and direction.
• X-FRAME UNDERCARRIAGE: Get increased ground clearance and maneuverability on softer ground with the X-frame undercarriage. It has sloped surfaces that shed debris to prevent material buildup and reduce the time you spend cleaning the undercarriage.
• REDUCED TAIL SWING: A reduced tail swing allows greater and enhanced maneuverability in tight jobsites, enabling operators to confidently use the large excavator around obstacles or against walls.
• TIER 4 COMPLIANT: The large excavator’s engine meets all of the latest Tier 4 emissions requirements.

Serviceability

• EASY COMPONENT ACCESS: This 14-16T size-class excavator includes wide-open access covers that provide plenty of room to reach the top side of the engine, while a hinged belly pan allows access from the bottom. Solid steel side covers give you quick access to regular daily maintenance items for easy upkeep and more uptime.
• SELF DIAGNOSTICS: You can track machine performance in real time and access historical machine alerts via the bright, easy-to-read LCD monitor.
• CENTRALIZED BOOM GREASE POINTS: Centralized grease banks are located on the base of the boom to make essential daily maintenance of large excavators quick and easy.

Uptime Protection

• AUTOMATIC BELT TENSIONER: The automatic belt tensioner maintains constant tension on the engine accessory belt, compensating for regular wear and maintaining the performance you demand.
• PUMP TORQUE CONTROL: Pump Torque Control prevents engine overload by matching the hydraulic demand with available engine horsepower.
• PROTECTED COMPONENTS: Bobcat large excavators are designed to keep you working longer with standard features that improve uptime, including heavy-duty materials plus components that are protected from damage or wear and that require minimal or no maintenance.
• VANDALISM PROTECTION FEATURES: Your productivity depends on your excavator, but equipment is a common target for vandalism, misuse and even theft. Bobcat 14-16-ton size-class excavators include a variety of features that protect your investment. An anti-theft protection password reduces the chance of stolen equipment or unauthorized use. Lockable covers protect machine components from vandalism. Lockable fuel fill points reduce the chance of diesel theft or contamination.

Versatility

• HYDRAULIC ATTACHMENT MANAGEMENT: The LCD allows operators to configure 10 different attachment presets: five for one-way hydraulic flow and five more for two-way flow. Each preset can be used to optimize performance or match specific operational requirements of the attachment by limiting maximum pressure and setting the minimum or maximum flow rate. Password protection functionality can protect from the possibility of using the wrong preset or help novice operators and rental users with limited hydraulic system knowledge.
• ROLLER SWITCH: A roller switch on the right joystick allows operators to control and vary the speed at which a two-way hydraulic attachment functions, making it easy to open or close a hydraulic clamp.
