Features May Include:

Performance
Leading Lift Capacity

• The E40's lift capacity is among the best in its class. It delivers an over-the-blade lift capacity and over-the-side lift capacity that competitors can only achieve or come close to with conventional tail-swing models. With the E40, operators get high performance, fast cycle times and optimal maneuverability at base pricing.

High Slewing Power

• With its carefully tuned hydraulics, durable slew bearing and powerful engine, the E40 gives you a noticable performance advantage when backfilling trenches or slewing a loaded bucket uphill. 

Bobcat Engine

Simple & State-of-the-Art

• The E40 is powered by a 40-hp, Tier 4, turbocharged Bobcat engine. Operators will notice turbo-charged performance with consistently high torque levels, regardless of elevation, plus a number of convenient features that reduce and simplify routine maintenance. It also offers excellent cold-weather operation.

Non-DPF Tier 4 Solution

• The Tier 4 engine achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). This means fewer components for easier maintenance, plus no work stoppage due to DPF regeneration.

Improved Fuel Filter

• The large E40 fuel filter provides optimum system protection and longer filter life.  It has a large holding capacity to capture impurities for long  intervals, extending the life of the fuel filter. The filter is also easy to change. It includes a clear water bowl for easy monitoring and a sensor to notify you when draining is needed. To simplify upkeep, the display lets you know when the filter needs to be serviced.

Enhanced Hydraulics

• The main valve of the E40 is finely tuned to deliver ideal performance that's matched to the boom, blade and travel motors. It's also designed for improved metering and finite movement, providing optimal controllability and fast cycle times. On every job, you can rely on exceptional performance and power that's measured in more accomplished per hour.

Large Boom Cylinder & Swing Casting

• A large boom cylinder and cylinder mount on the swing casting provide extra strength for penetrating tough ground or lifting heavy loads.

Fast Cycle Integrated Lift Eye

• The standard lift eye gives you a convenient method for handling objects or moving them in and out of the trench.

Standard Counterweight

• The counterweight comes standard to support the E40's enhanced reach and digging-depth capabilities. 

Standard Long Arm

• The long arm, which comes standard, adds 12 inches of additional digging depth and reach. 

High-Performance Cooling System

• The cooling system, with side-by-side heat exchangers, controls  operating temperatures more efficiently than ever before, improving performance and serviceability while protecting engine component life. Cleanout is easy too. There is no need to separate coolers to clean debris. It also generates less noise which enhances operator comfort.

Angle Blade

• An angle blade is important for fast backfilling and grading. This option allows you to angle your backfill blade 25 degrees left or right to direct spoil from one side to the other – without forming windrows on both sides of the blade.

Durable Travel Motors

• The travel motors have a more durable design for increased uptime and reliable performance.

Minimal Tail Swing

• A minimal tail swing of less than 2 inches of overhang ensures easy work in tight areas or against obstacles. Easily slew and deposit soil with less repositioning or worry about inadvertent contact with surrounding objects.

In-Track Swing Frame

• Bobcat compact excavators feature the exclusive in-track swing frame, which allows operators to get closer to their work. Our swing frame castings and cylinders stay within the tracks when offset digging - giving operators the ability to truly dig flush up against an obstacle and see their work in tight areas. 

Simple Machine Tie-Downs

• Convenient tie-down locations allow you to easily, confidently and quickly secure your machine to trailers.

Uptime Protection
Dealer Network

• Bobcat customers are backed by the support of a large, North American network of independent dealers who are committed to helping customers accomplish more. 

Polycarbonate Top Window

• The strong polycarbonate flat top window provides optimal durability that stands up to job debris and provides a clear view of the work – especially when loading high-sided trucks. It also makes the machine FOPS level 1 certified – without any additional kits.

Composite Tailgate With Steel Interior

• The tailgate provides maximum durability to protect your excavator’s  engine and hydraulic  components. An improved fit and finish reduces noise and vibration.

Comfort
R2-Series Cab

• The cab offers an unbeatable operator experience. When you take the seat, you can feel the difference, and you can see refinements everywhere you look. 
• The tall, wide windows inside the cab have more surface area, which includes an improved top window and narrower side pillars for optimal visibility.
• Operators will appreciate the spacious foot room and legroom. To maximize floor space even more, redesigned floor pedals conveniently fold away. The wide cab provides plenty of leg room and a suspension seat. When working in punishing conditions, you’ll enjoy a spacious, comfortable seat and plenty of elbow room.

Optimal Glass Surface Area

• The tall, wide windows on the R2-Series cab have more surface area. This includes a top window and narrower side pillars for visibility that’s never been better.

Dual-Flange Track Roller System

• Dual flange track rollers increase over-the-side lift capacity and provide a ride quality that’s smoother and more comfortable. The dual-flange roller and track system noticeably improves ride quality, bringing you greater comfort while moving across jobsites.

Low-Effort Joysticks

• The low-effort joysticks respond easily to operator input, enabling longer operation with less fatigue. Equipped with fingertip boom swing and auxiliary control, Bobcat joysticks provide quick, precise movement with low effort.

Standard LED Lights

• At night or in dark working conditions, your productivity can still shine. Bright, efficient and reliable standard LED lights provide far-reaching visibility when the light level is low.

Boom-Mounted LED Workgroup Light

• The reliable LED workgroup light is mounted under the boom for a more direct beam of light to where you're working, enhancing  lumination in low light levels. The structure of the boom provides rugged protection from debris and obstacles, ensuring your lighting is ready when you need it.

Optional Keyless Start

• Optional, password-protected keyless start gives you strong theft protection and eliminates lost keys.

Standard Display

• An easy-to-read cab display panel provides machine interaction and monitoring as well as warning and troubleshooting information.

Serviceability
New Fuel Filter

• The E40 features a large fuel filter that enables better system protection and longer filter life, with more than double the media surface area. It has more holding capacity to capture impurities for longer intervals, greatly extending the life of the fuel filter. The filter is also easier to change, and it includes a clear water bowl for easy monitoring and a sensor to notify you when draining is needed. To simplify upkeep, the display lets you know when the filter needs to be serviced. 

Greaseless Composite Bushings

• Bushings for the base end of the boom offset cylinder require no grease, simplifying regular maintenance for your excavator.

Increased Engine Oil Service Interval

• The recommended engine oil service interval has increased from 500 to 750 hours, giving you more uptime per oil change.

Integrated Tool Box & Grease Gun Holder
