About · Bobcat E45

Overview

The Bobcat E45 is a 4570 kg mini-excavator rated at 45 hp, positioning it in the upper tier of the compact excavator segment. It is produced by Bobcat, a manufacturer with an established distribution and parts network across European markets. The machine is designed to deliver a balance between lifting capacity and transport practicality, making it a relevant option for contractors requiring a mid-range compact unit.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mini-excavators in this weight and power class are suited to foundation work, utility trenching, landscaping, and confined-site excavation where larger machines cannot operate. They are frequently deployed on residential construction projects, roadside maintenance tasks, and municipal infrastructure work. The 45 hp output supports attachments such as augers, hydraulic breakers, and grapples, broadening operational scope beyond simple digging.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Inspection of a used Bobcat E45 should cover the condition of the undercarriage, including track wear, rollers, and sprockets, as these components represent a significant portion of ownership cost in the mini-excavator class. The boom, arm, and bucket pin points warrant close examination for play and bushing wear, and hydraulic hoses should be checked for chafing or weeping. Swing bearing movement and blade cylinder seals are common wear areas on machines of this type. Service records supporting consistent oil and filter changes are a meaningful indicator of how the machine has been managed, and a cold-start check will confirm engine health before purchase.

Current market

Price position

In European markets, the Bobcat E45 trades at an average of EUR 26900, with a typical price range spanning EUR 22700 to EUR 31100 depending on age, hours, and configuration. This positions the model competitively within its segment alongside comparable units such as the New Holland E50 and the Yanmar VIO45, both of which target buyers in the same duty class. Buyers at the lower end of the range should anticipate older or higher-hour examples, while units toward EUR 31100 generally reflect more recent or better-specified machines.
