New Holland Construction has added a new machine to its midi excavator lineup. The E90D is powered by a 73-hp engine, and built for competitive power and efficiency in the midi excavator class. 

The E90D's new design features a four-cylinder, 300-inch displacement engine that ensures performance across various applications. Its hydraulic system delivers 42 gallons per minute, providing operators with the hydraulic power necessary to run multiple attachments simultaneously without compromising efficiency. With this combination, the E90D midi excavator works in demanding environments, making it an asset to contractors, landscapers, and municipalities.

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications in a compact form, the E90D midi excavator has a dump height of 15 feet and dig depth of 14 feet. This capability allows operators to tackle various tasks such as grading, trenching, and site preparation. The machine's bucket breakout force of 13,000 pounds ensures it can handle the toughest materials, from hard soil to rocky terrain, while its operating weight of 20,305 pounds strikes a balance between strength and manoeverability, enabling it to navigate tight job sites with confidence.

Built to be versatile, with a special mulcher provision

The E90D has been designed for versatility. The excavator comes standard with both one-way and two-way auxiliary hydraulics, along with a second set of two-way auxiliary hydraulics, making it ready to accommodate a wide range of attachments, including hammers, thumbs, and compaction plates. 

Unique to this model is a dedicated constant flow provision for mulchers, which allows operators to run their mulchers efficiently without sacrificing hydraulic flow for other attachments.

Designed to be cost-effective, the E90D midi excavator has a fuel consumption rate of just 2.5 gallons per hour. This efficiency, combined with 42 gallons per minute auxiliary hydraulic flow, aims to position the E90D as a powerful yet economical choice for contractors.

The compact footprint allows for operation in confined spaces with minimal disturbance to surrounding areas, making it perfect for urban settings and projects requiring precision. Machine owners can choose between rubber tracks, steel tracks, or steel tracks with rubber pads, ensuring adaptability across various job sites and conditions.

Maintenance is simplified in this midi excavator with a design focus on keeping upkeep easy and accessible. The hydraulic reversible fan operates intermittently to clean the engine area automatically. Additionally, the centralized grease container allows operators to perform maintenance without leaving the cab, streamlining the servicing process.

Operator customization and in-cab safety features

Customization options are extensive, with operators able to adjust breakout forces for the arm, boom, and bucket according to their preferences. This flexibility ensures that every user can tailor the E90D midi excavator to their personal requirements. Enhanced visibility is provided by strategically placed LED lights around the machine and walk-up and exit lights that illuminate the area when approached in low-light conditions.

Prioritizing operator comfort and safety, the E90D features a ROPS- and FOPS-certified cab that provides critical protection against rolling or falling objects. Standard safety features include a rear-view camera, travel alarms, and optional Level 2 ROPS protection, which incorporates reinforced grates over the top and front of the cab for added security during demolition work.

"We are excited to unveil the E90D midi excavator, a machine that not only delivers superior horsepower but also emphasizes versatility, customization, and safety," says Dan Kakareka, product manager for New Holland Construction North America. "With features designed for the modern operator, the E90D is equipped to handle a wide range of applications, making it an indispensable tool for any job site."

The E90D midi excavator also incorporates New Holland's advanced FleetForce telematics system, allowing operators to monitor the machine's performance remotely. Users can receive alerts regarding maintenance needs, set geofences, and track operational metrics in real time. This level of oversight ensures that machines are maintained proactively to reduce downtime and optimize operational efficiency.

"When operators jump into the cab of the E90D, they will quickly discover why it stands out in the midi excavator category — delivering quality, comfort, and performance that is second to none," Kakareka says.
