Bobcat E17 Excavator

The Bobcat E17 is a 1.7-tonne mini excavator from Bobcat, sized for urban, landscaping, and tight-space utility work. Bobcat E17 — 1.7-tonne zero tail-swing micro mini. The Bobcat E17 is powered by the Kubota D1005 — 14.8 hp, runs a bucket capacity of 0.04 m³, and reaches a maximum digging depth of 2.30 m with a 3.80 m maximum reach. Common applications for the Bobcat E17 include urban landscaping, plumbing, compact work. For Caribbean and African buyers, the Bobcat E17 arrives pre-inspected, hydraulic-tested, and configured to the operating profile of the destination job site — undercarriage track-shoe selection, bucket capacity and pattern, and attachment-line specification are all confirmed before export. The unit is supported by our regional parts warehouse and field-service network across both regions. Operator training packages, manufacturer-backed financing through the brand's regional credit programme, and extended-warranty coverage are available on request.

After-sales support

Buying an excavator from us is only the start. Post-delivery, each machine is enrolled in our service tracking — scheduled maintenance reminders, parts pre-positioning, and 72-hour breakdown response are standard. Our regional warehouse in Paramaribo holds fast-moving parts inventory for every major brand we supply — bushings, pins, hydraulic seals, fuel and oil filters, undercarriage components, and common consumables. For Suriname-specific needs, we maintain pre-positioned parts at our regional logistics hubs, which means typical part lead times measure in days rather than weeks. Field-service callouts are available across the country for major mechanical events. Our technicians are trained on all twelve brands we supply, with manufacturer-certified service authority for several. Operator training packages are included with every major sale — typically a one-week on-site programme covering safe operation, basic maintenance, daily walk-around inspection, and productivity techniques. We also offer extended warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer's standard term, structured monthly or annually depending on duty cycle.

Financing options

Buyers requiring financing can submit project documents alongside the quote request — we typically return indicative terms within five business days. For Suriname buyers specifically, we structure financing in USD or local currency depending on the buyer's preference and the project's cash-flow profile. Manufacturer-backed credit lines (SANY Capital, Hyundai Capital, XCMG Finance, JCB Finance) typically offer 12-60 month terms with first-payment-defer options for project-cycle buyers. Regional bank financing through partner institutions in Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and the Dominican Republic supports buyers wanting local-currency exposure. Lease-to-own structures convert a 12-24 month rental into an ownership transfer at term end, useful for contractors testing a new brand or wanting flexibility. We typically return indicative financing terms within five business days of receiving project documentation (typically: contract, project schedule, three years of audited accounts, and a deposit commitment). Final terms are subject to financier credit approval.
