Along with rolling out a new E40 compact excavator, Bobcat has changed the names on three of the models in its 3- to 5-metric-ton lineup.
The company says the excavators’ model name changes “more closely align with the industry’s size class.”
The changes are as follows:
- The 33-horsepower Bobcat E35 has been renamed the Bobcat E38. The company is aligning the E38 with the 3.8-metric-ton class. It features zero tailswing. The standard arm version has an operating weight of 7,893 pounds, or 3.58 meters. Though the 33-horspower model name is changing, Bobcat will keep its 25-horsepower E35 with the same name. The E35 also has zero tailswing. It aligns with the 3.5-metric-ton class and has an operating weight of 3.474 metric tons. Long arm options for both the E35 and E38 add to their operating weights.
- The Bobcat E42 will now be the E48. It weighs 9,830 pounds, or 4.49 metric tons, and has a conventional tailswing.
- The Bobcat E50 has been renamed the Bobcat E55. It is a minimal tailswing excavator with about a 1-inch overhang and weighs 11,876 pounds, or 5.387 metric tons.

The model name changes follow the recent announcement of the new 4-metric-ton E40 excavator, which will hit the market in late 2023. It features a reduced tailswing with less than 2 inches of overhang, a standard long arm and nearly 4,000 pounds of lifting capacity. The new model runs on a 40-horsepower, turbocharged Bobcat engine.
With the new excavator, Bobcat’s 3- to 5-metric-ton lineup now consists of six models: E32, E35, E38, E40, E48 and E55. It also has models ranging from 1 to 2 metric tons and 16 to 18 metric tons.
