Bobcat E19 Cabbed Excavator Hire
Fully cabbed 2-tonne for year-round comfort.
The Bobcat E19 with full enclosed cab — heater, wipers, proper weather protection. Same class-leading dig performance as the E17 in a cab that keeps your operator warm and dry through a British winter.
The Bobcat E19 Cabbed sits between the E17 and the 3-tonne class, offering proper 2-tonne dig performance with the weather protection that matters on winter sites. The fully enclosed cab has heating, a front windscreen wiper, and all-round glazing — no more stopping work when the rain comes in.
With a retractable undercarriage (990–1,360 mm), it keeps the tight-access advantage of the E17 while stepping up dig depth and cycle times. The Kubota D1105 engine delivers 14 kW — enough for serious domestic groundworks and light commercial work without tipping over into the 3-tonne weight band for transport.
Popular with professional builders and landscapers running into December/January who need a machine they can work on in any weather.

Questions about this machine
Slightly — operating weight is up 120 kg and it sits a touch taller due to the cab. Track width and overall footprint are nearly identical, so access through gates is the same.
For one-day summer hires, probably not. For multi-day hires or any work between October and March, the cab pays for itself in productivity — no stopping for rain, no operator fatigue from cold.
Yes — auxiliary hydraulic circuit supports breakers, augers, and other powered attachments. Ask us about attachment bundles on booking.
