Bobcat presents electric mini-excavator

Robust and wear-resistant E19e becomes topper in its genre

In the late 1970s, hardly anyone in Belgium had heard of Bobcat. That is different now. One of the founders of this popular brand in our country was the metal construction company Vangaever, which entered into a partnership with Bobcat in 1977. And the pioneering work of both was rewarded. Because both in agriculture and horticulture, gardening, with contractors of demolition, earthworks or construction ... the compact equipment is a fixture.

The intention of the inventors of Bobcat machines? Agile and flexible work in compact spaces. But the brand also scores high marks on the relatively new market of battery-driven machines. Recently, Vangaever presented the E19e electric mini-excavator. The E19e is the electric version of Bobcat's popular diesel model, the E19.

Low noise and no CO₂-emissions

With its width of only 98 cm, the new E19e is ideal for tight spaces and does its work quietly and with no CO2 emissions. These are very good features for both indoor applications and some outdoor jobs. Moreover, the E19e goes through a full 8-hour workday thanks to the optional external Bobcat supercharger, which allows the battery to be recharged during the operator's breaks.

Unsurpassed comfort

Bruno Vangaever, managing director: "The E19e was officially introduced on Oct. 24, during Bauma, and immediately attracted attention. The E19e electric mini-excavator couples a safe, low-noise and emission-free design with the E19's proven functionality and powerful performance for work in tight spaces. The E19e also offers the unsurpassed operator comfort of the diesel version, plus a number of unique features specific to the electric version. These include proportional manual function and side boom adjustment, adjustable auxiliary hydraulics with dual function (3 modes), no "unicorn" effect (boom adjustment cylinder does not protrude outside the U/C profile), smart display, built-in charger for standard 230 V, and so much more. So the robust and wear-resistant E19e also promises to be a topper in its genre!"
