Key features of the Bobcat E17Z
The Bobcat E17Z continues to be one of the most popular compact excavators on the market, particularly in regional areas like Horsham where operators often need a machine capable of tackling a broad mix of tasks. Key features include:
- Zero tail swing for safer and easier manoeuvring in confined areas

These features make the E17Z especially useful for contractors completing service trenching, backyard projects, small-scale civil works and rural property maintenance across Horsham and surrounding areas.
Benefits of buying through a local dealer
Choosing a local machinery supplier provides major advantages, particularly when equipment forms the backbone of day-to-day operations. FSR Equipment offers personalised sales support, making it easier for contractors to choose the right excavator based on job requirements, soil conditions and budget.
Local dealer support also ensures fast access to parts, attachments and servicing, reducing downtime and improving overall machine longevity. For active worksites, this can mean the difference between completing a project on schedule or dealing with extended delays. FSR Equipment maintains strong relationships with leading machinery manufacturers, providing customers with reliable machinery and expert advice backed by industry knowledge.
Warranty and after sales support
After sales support is one of the biggest advantages of purchasing through a trusted supplier. FSR Equipment provides ongoing assistance throughout the lifespan of the machine, including scheduled servicing, diagnostics, repairs and on site breakdown support. With technicians experienced across dozens of machinery brands, customers benefit from fast, accurate service delivered locally.
Warranty coverage varies depending on the brand and machine model. However, all new equipment purchased through FSR Equipment is supported by manufacturer-backed warranties for added peace of mind. Customers can speak directly with the team to understand the exact warranty conditions for their machine and recommended servicing intervals.
Finance and hire options for flexibility
Not all contractors require long-term ownership of an excavator, which is why FSR Equipment also provides flexible finance and rental options. Finance solutions can help smaller operators access modern machinery without the upfront investment, while hire options are ideal for short-term or seasonal workloads.
Short and long term rental is available for forklifts, material handling equipment and a selection of earthmoving machinery. This gives contractors, farmers and councils the flexibility to scale machinery use according to project timelines and budgets.
Popular attachments available for the E17Z
One of the major advantages of the Bobcat E17Z is its compatibility with a wide range of attachments. Popular options include:
- Auger attachments for fencing and deep foundation holes
- General-purpose and trenching buckets in various sizes
- Rock breakers for demolition and hard-ground breaking
- Grabs for landscaping or demolition waste handling
- Specialised earthmoving tools from Auger Torque, Digga and EI-Engineering
These attachments give the E17Z the versatility to manage multiple tasks on a single job site, helping contractors maintain efficiency without needing additional machinery.
