About · Bobcat E26

Overview

The Bobcat E26 is a compact mini-excavator with an operating weight of 2680 kg and an engine output of 25 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.07 m3, placing it firmly in the sub-3-tonne excavator class. This class is defined by its balance of reach and manoeuvrability, making the E26 a widely traded machine in the used equipment market across Europe.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mini-excavators in the E26 class are suited to confined-site groundwork, utility trenching, and landscaping operations where larger machines cannot access or operate efficiently. They are commonly deployed in urban construction, drainage installation, and site preparation tasks. The compact footprint makes this weight class a practical choice for contractors managing multiple small-to-medium project types.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used mini-excavator of this class, buyers should assess the condition of the undercarriage, including rubber tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as these are subject to accelerating wear. The slew ring and boom pin joints should be checked for play, and hydraulic hoses and cylinders should be examined for leaks or abrasion damage. A full review of service records is recommended to confirm that scheduled maintenance has been carried out, and a function test of all hydraulic circuits, including any auxiliary lines, should be completed before purchase.

Current market

Price position

In the European used market, the Bobcat E26 carries an average asking price of EUR 21550, with the typical price range running from EUR 16540 to EUR 25300. Positioning within that range depends on factors such as age, hours, condition, and attachments. Comparable machines in this class include the Komatsu PC26 and the Volvo EC27, and buyers evaluating the E26 should consider how specification and service history align against those alternatives at equivalent price points.
