Bobcat E48 Mini Excavator
The biggest mini excavator we rent. The Bobcat E48 has the reach and lifting power for deeper digs, setting heavy pipe and loading trucks, in a machine that still fits on a residential lot.
“I rented a dump trailer and a mini ex from them to redo my driveway. I experienced amazing customer service and great communication when orchestrating equipment drop-off and pickup. I will definitely be renting from them again!” — Ryan B.

Description
Helpful guide: How Deep Can a Mini Excavator Dig? E10 vs E35 vs E48 →
The E48 is for jobs that would wear out a smaller machine: long utility runs, deeper digs, heavy pipe and structures, and loading trucks all day. It has noticeably more reach and lifting power than the E35, so you spend less time repositioning and more time digging. It still has a compact footprint for a machine this capable, so it works on residential and tight commercial sites.
Good jobs for the E48
- Basements, foundations and larger footings
- Sewer, water and storm lines
- Setting pipe, culverts, catch basins and other heavy pieces
- Ponds and larger grading jobs
- Demolition cleanup and loading trucks
Picking the right size
For most backyard and residential work, the Bobcat E35 is plenty and easier to haul. Choose the E48 when the job calls for more depth, reach or lifting.
