Feature Details
Maximum Headroom and Legroom
When you step inside the redesigned cab of a R-Series compact (mini) excavator, you’ll find more space everywhere you look. It provides maximum headroom and legroom for dependable comfort all day long. Additionally, the suspension seat is wider and floorspace has been increased by 29 percent when compared to previous generations. Even tall operators will be comfortable with plenty of headroom.
Clear Visibility
When you have clear visibility to your work area, your productivity can take off. Bobcat compact (mini) excavators are engineered with narrower cab pillars and more glass surface area. We give you the industry’s best visibility to your workgroup and blade cutting edge.
Automatic Climate Control
Set your temperature and forget it. With the optional automatic climate control, your machine automatically adjusts to keep you comfortable, freeing you up to focus on your work.
Heated Seat
When it’s cold outside, the heated seat makes a perfect complement to the automatic temperature control, keeping your body warm on frigid days.
Reduced Vibration
Inside the premium cab of R-Series compact (mini) excavators, you’ll experience dramatically reduced vibration. Many features contribute to the improvement, including a dual-flange track roller system, a tighter connection between body panels and robust hinges and latches. They all work together to make operating your Bobcat compact excavator more comfortable for longer, more productive days on the jobsite.
Operator-Friendly Controls
Simple, ergonomic controls keep you productive all day long. Control your attachments and travel with precision, flexibility and low fatigue. Feel the quality at your fingertips, as the newly designed joysticks fit better in your hands.
Adjustable Seat
No matter your height or weight, it’s easy to find a comfortable operating position with multiple adjustment points. Find the perfect position by moving your seat backward or forward.
Radio
Order your excavator with a stereo to enhance your workday. The radio features an auxiliary audio input jack that is ready for an MP3 player or other device.
Cup Holders and Storage
Storage bins are located throughout the interior. You can store items wherever it’s convenient – on your right or behind you. Keep your beverage in one of the two large cup holders.
Removable Floor Mats
Easily remove the rubber floor mats from the excavator for cleaning. Use a hose or pressure washer to remove dirt, dust, and other jobsite grime.
