The Bobcat E50 is a five-tonne class mini-excavator produced from 2010 to the present, with an operating weight of 5151 kg and an engine output of 50 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.19 m3, placing it in the upper segment of the compact excavator category. The E50 is manufactured by Bobcat and represents a widely deployed platform across European and global construction markets.
Mini-excavators in the five-tonne class are well suited to urban construction, utility installation, landscaping, and confined-site earthmoving where larger machines cannot operate effectively. The E50 is commonly deployed for trenching, foundation preparation, and drainage work. Its compact footprint makes it a practical choice for contractors working in restricted access environments such as residential sites and road corridors.
When inspecting a used Bobcat E50, buyers should assess the condition of the undercarriage, including track wear, rollers, and idlers, as these components represent significant lifecycle costs on any compact excavator. The boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings should be checked for play and wear. Hydraulic circuits should be tested for responsiveness and leak-free operation across all functions. Engine condition, including coolant and oil quality, should be evaluated alongside service documentation to verify maintenance history. Structural integrity of the upperstructure and slew ring should be confirmed prior to purchase.
On the European used market, the Bobcat E50 carries an average asking price of EUR 35036, with a typical transaction range observed between EUR 30800 and EUR 32000. This positions the E50 competitively against comparable models in the five-tonne class, including the Caterpillar 305 and the Komatsu PC55. Buyers evaluating the segment should use the EUR 30800 to EUR 32000 range as a practical benchmark when assessing individual machine valuations.
