Bobcat launch E57W wheeled excavator
New Stage IIIB machine offers improved productivity, fuel economy, ergonomics and reliability
BUILDING on the success of the company’s previous E55W model, Bobcat have launched the new E57W Stage IIIB-compliant wheeled excavator. The new E57W is equipped with the Bobcat D24 diesel engine that delivers a 4% increase in power (42.5kW) together with 7% fuel savings.
The Bobcat engine offers a distinctive solution to Stage IIIB compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF). As well as reducing fuel consumption, this ‘non-DPF’ solution simplifies the operation and service of the machine, as there is no need for DPF regeneration.
The E57W has an operating weight of 5,920kg and incorporates an updated hydraulic system that delivers enhanced hydraulic performance and a 10% improvement in lift capacity.
A long-arm option increases the machine’s digging depth to 3,795mm and the dump height to 4,510mm. Peripheral equipment, which can be attached via first, second or an optional third auxiliary circuit, is operated with proportional controls.
A newly designed cab and operator area features a 7in display which provides fingertip operation of all machine functions. Also, the ROPS-certified cab has excellent visibility, a heated seat, ergonomically placed controls and simple, efficient operating procedures to help reduce driver fatigue.
