“hay day” for the historical ct in Nebraska’s capital city


Construction work for the new sports arena debuted in fall 2011, on a 500,000-square- foot stage with an entourage of excavation equipment of varying capacities that included Bobcat excavators and skid-steer loaders. One of the major roles completed by General Excavating involved the removal of more than 14,000 cubic yards of soil. Additional supporting roles included the rerouting of an existing sewer line and replacing the massive volume of soil removed earlier before any other work could begin.


Bobcat equipment has been a trusted partner of General Excavating for the entirety of its 26-year existence. In 2012, it added three new 33-horsepower E35 excavators and six S130 skid- steer loaders to its equipment fl eet. Bobcat S130 loaders are just 60 inches wide (with bucket) and well-suited for operating in areas where larger excavating equipment won’t fi t.


“The Zero Tail Swing (ZTS) capabilities of the E35 excavator make a big difference on a lot of our jobs,” says Joe D’Amico, vice president of General Excavating.


With ZTS, the E35 — part of the Bobcat M-Series lineup —


has more unrestricted rotation and fl exibility when working close to buildings or other structures than equipment such as tractor loader backhoes.


“The ease of changing the many available attachments helps reduce time and labor so our guys spend more time on the job and less time with equipment issues,” D’Amico continues. “It all contributes to the bottom line.”


Bobcat excavators have the most cab space in the compact equipment industry, a fact recognized by D’Amico and his operators.


“The operator station of the E35 excavator is very user- friendly,” D’Amico says, “and the smooth-fl owing hydraulics help reduce operator fatigue. Operator comfort is one of those intangibles that is diffi cult to quantify, but our operators certainly understand it.


“In fi nal analysis, we just want a machine that will do the job effi ciently, is easy to maintain and reliable. That’s why Bobcat equipment has been a part of General Excavating for as long as we’ve been in business.”
