Bobcat E60 Compatible Attachments
The Bobcat E60 is a 6-ton class conventional tail swing compact excavator, engineered for powerful performance and versatility in medium-duty construction, landscaping, and utility applications. Powered by a Tier 4 diesel engine delivering 55.7 hp, this machine combines substantial digging force with a rated lift capacity of 6,411 lb for demanding attachment work in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.
With a maximum dig depth of 157.2 inches and reach at ground level of 246 inches, the E60 excels at trenching, excavation, material handling, and demolition support where conventional tail swing stability provides enhanced lifting performance. Attachment fitment should be checked against the machine's carrier weight, hydraulic flow and pressure, pin dimensions, and the material being handled. BHE Attachments can help review these details before quoting or installing an attachment.
Bobcat E60 Attachment Matches
The attachment categories below are organized for the Bobcat E60 carrier class. Final compatibility should be confirmed using the exact machine configuration, hydraulic setup, mounting dimensions, coupler style, and job application.
Hydraulic Breakers for Concrete, Rock & Asphalt
Hydraulic breakers and hammers are a key attachment match for the Bobcat E60 when the job requires concrete breaking, rock breaking, asphalt removal, trenching through hard material, or demolition support in residential and commercial construction environments.
Montabert breaker models previously identified for review with this carrier class include the SC28 and SC36. Final selection should be based on the carrier's auxiliary hydraulic flow of 20 gal/min at 2,045 psi, breaker weight, bracket setup, and duty cycle. The machine features standard auxiliary hydraulics and secondary auxiliary hydraulics for versatile powered attachment operation.
Digging, Trenching, Grading & Cleanup Buckets
Bucket selection for the Bobcat E60 should match the work being performed. Digging buckets are commonly used for excavation and trenching in utility and construction projects, while grading or cleanup buckets are better suited for ditching, slope work, backfill shaping, and finish grading alongside the standard angle blade.
Bucket fitment should be checked by pin diameter, pin spread, stick width, coupler configuration, width, capacity, tooth style, edge type, and material conditions. The E60 features a quick tach system for rapid attachment changes and delivers 10,261 lbf bucket digging force and 6,446 lbf arm digging force for powerful breakout performance in medium-duty applications.
Couplers, Thumbs & Grapples
Couplers, thumbs, and grapples can improve the Bobcat E60's versatility for attachment changes, debris handling, brush handling, demolition cleanup, pipe handling, and sorting material on job sites where construction and utility work demand frequent tool changes.
These tools should be reviewed for stick geometry, thumb length, coupler type, hydraulic plumbing, bracket style, and the machine's lifting and stability limits. The E60 features a conventional tail swing design with a rated lift capacity of 6,411 lb at 118-inch radius, providing substantial lifting performance for material handling tasks. Boom swing of 75° left and 50° right enhances maneuverability in tight spaces.
Plate Compactors for Trench & Backfill Work
Plate compactors can be reviewed for the Bobcat E60 when the work involves trench compaction, utility installation, backfill compaction, road repair, or site preparation in medium-duty construction and landscaping environments.
Compactor compatibility should be confirmed by attachment weight, hydraulic flow, pressure range, mounting bracket, hose routing, and the compaction area required for the job. The E60 delivers 20 gal/min auxiliary hydraulic flow at 2,045 psi with standard and secondary auxiliary hydraulic circuits for smooth powered attachment operation. The standard angle blade simplifies ground leveling and site preparation.
Rippers & Specialty Excavator Tools
Rippers and specialty tools may be considered for the Bobcat E60 when the machine is working in compacted soil, frost, hardpan, rocky material, or site preparation conditions where a standard bucket is not the most efficient first tool for medium-duty ground conditions.
Tool selection should be based on material type, breakout needs, carrier size, mounting setup, and whether the tool will be used before bucket excavation or as part of demolition cleanup. The E60 delivers 10,261 lbf bucket digging force and 6,446 lbf arm digging force for tough ground conditions, with rubber tracks for reduced ground disturbance on sensitive surfaces.
Bobcat E60 Jobsite Applications
These application notes help connect the Bobcat E60 to the attachment type most often used for each kind of work.
Concrete & Rock Breaking
Use a properly sized hydraulic breaker or hammer when the Bobcat E60 is assigned to concrete removal, rock breaking, asphalt removal, trench obstruction removal, or demolition prep in residential and commercial construction.
Excavation & Trenching
Use digging, trenching, or rock buckets when the machine is being used for utility installation, drainage work, road construction, foundations, landscaping, and general excavation.
Grading & Cleanup
Use grading, cleanup, or ditching buckets when the job requires finish shaping, slope work, ditch cleaning, loose material handling, or surface cleanup on construction and landscaping job sites. The standard angle blade simplifies ground leveling.
Material Handling
Use thumbs, grapples, or coupler-supported tools when the Bobcat E60 needs to handle debris, brush, pipe, demolition material, or irregular objects on construction and utility job sites.
Compaction
Use a plate compactor when the machine is supporting trench backfill, utility repair, road repair, or site preparation where controlled compaction is needed in medium-duty work areas.
Hard Ground Preparation
Use a ripper or specialty ground-engagement tool when compacted soil, frost, hardpan, or rocky material needs to be loosened before excavation in construction or landscaping settings.
Attachment Fitment Factors
The Bobcat E60 should be matched with attachments using both machine specifications and jobsite requirements. These checks help reduce incorrect fitment, poor performance, and unnecessary attachment wear.
Machine & Mounting Requirements
- Confirm carrier operating weight (12,315 lb / 6-ton weight class) and excavator size class.
- Check pin diameter, pin spread, stick width, and coupler configuration.
- Match the attachment bracket to the Bobcat E60 mounting setup.
- Review attachment weight against machine lifting capacity (6,411 lb rated at 118-inch radius) and stability limits.
- For buckets, confirm width, capacity, tooth style, edge type, and application rating.
- Verify quick tach system compatibility for rapid attachment changes.
- Consider rubber track configuration for reduced ground disturbance on sensitive surfaces.
Hydraulic & Application Requirements
- Confirm auxiliary hydraulic flow (20 gal/min at 2,045 psi) for powered attachments.
- Verify standard and secondary auxiliary hydraulic circuit setup, controls, and hose routing.
- Select breaker tools based on material, including moil point, chisel, blunt, or specialty tools.
- Match the attachment to the material being worked: concrete, rock, asphalt, soil, brush, or debris.
- Review duty cycle, production needs, operator use, and jobsite conditions before final selection.
- Consider travel speed ranges (1.8 mph low / 2.8 mph high) for site mobility with attachments.
