If you need more reach, Bobcat offers the first and only clamp-ready extendable arm option for select compact excavators. It offers the best of both worlds: power and lifting performance, combined with the ability to extend the machine’s dig depth and reach when you need it.
At times, you need more reach than a standard arm configuration. Because we think about what is important on a job-site, Bobcat provides to you an extendable arm option. You can even use a clamp. Only Bobcat® excavators give you the most attachment flexibility on your job-site.
BOBCAT EXCAVATOR: EXTENDABLE ARM
GET EXTRA REACH
It delivers up to 30 in. of reach at full extension, so you can reach farther with less repositioning. Dump spoil further away from the excavator and reach further back into the trench for clean out purposes. Loading trucks is easier, too, because the extendable arm allows you to place material more efficiently into the truck without moving the excavator.
NO LOSS OF ORIGINAL ARM & BUCKET FORCES
Work with greater power with standard reach while keeping original arm and bucket forces. Enjoy greater longevity of your machine with replaceable composite wear pads to reinforce the excavator’s structure and maintain its integrity.
HYDRAULIC X-CHANGE COMPATIBLE
This option also allows the use of the hydraulic clamp and Hydraulic X-Change™ attachment mounting system, so you can lift, load and place materials. Get the power, versatility and extra reach you need — all from a compact machine.
EASY CONTROLS
Control the extension and retraction of the arm with a paddle on the right-hand joystick controls. When equipped with a clamp, the paddle on the left-hand joystick controls the clamp function. Together, it is a simple process to extend the arm and reach objects to lift and place them.
