 COMPACT
EXCAVATORS (MINI-EXCAVATORS)
The compact (or "mini") hydraulic excavator has many
advantages over the traditional center-mount backhoe.
These types of backhoes are commonplace on construction
sites today. When backhoe work becomes the primary
usage of a machine, the compact excavator presents a
more efficient way of doing this type of work.
 The
Bobcat compact excavator is designed specifically for
trenching and excavating. The operator is offset,
giving better visibility to the bucket. The
operator rotates with the upper structure reducing
fatigue due to head movement. The Bobcat excavator
has faster repositioning - no stabilizer and bucket to
raise and reset. The compact size allows the
machine onto more job sites and reduces disturbance to
surrounding areas. The compact excavator can
finish jobs started by larger excavators. The
Bobcat compact excavator has minimal tail swing with no
loader bucket in the rear to reduce the room needed to
work.
 Bobcat
compact excavators are available in many models and
capacities. Bobcat also offers many different
attachments to meet your job requirement.

The
Bobcat 430 and 435 are the world's first compact
excavators with ZERO HOUSE SWING (ZHS) and the FastTrack
drive system. Not only does the rear of the
machine stay within the excavator's width, so does the
front end - the machine's left and right front corners.
ZHS decreases the changes of accidentally striking
buildings or trees during operation. No damage to
the machine or surrounding objects means lower operating
costs. Zero House Swing also permits easier spoil
placement in tight quarters. If necessary, the
operator can slew completely around and dump soil behind
the machine. The ZHS design allows a zero radius
swing range of nearly 320-degrees. This makes the
430 and 435 ideal for jobsites where maneuverability in
small spaces is a must.
