Bobcat E-42 Mini Excavator

Bobcat E-42 Mini Excavator – Rental Overview

The Bobcat E42 Mini Excavator is a reliable, mid-size compact excavator ideal for contractors and homeowners who need strong digging performance without stepping up to a full-size machine. Its balance of power, reach, and maneuverability makes it a go-to rental for a wide range of excavation and site-prep jobs.

With an approximate 10-foot digging depth and 17-foot reach at ground level, the E42 is well-suited for trenching, footing work, utility installs, and general earthmoving. Its compact footprint allows it to work efficiently on residential and commercial job sites where space is limited, while still delivering the performance needed to stay productive.

The hydraulic system provides smooth, predictable control, making the machine easy to operate for both experienced operators and renters who may be newer to excavators. This precision helps reduce rework and fatigue over long days.
