New Holland Construction introduces the all-new E90D midi excavator. Powered by a robust 73-horsepower engine, the E90D boasts the highest horsepower in its class, setting a new standard for power and efficiency in midi excavators.

“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.”

Here’s the scoop on the E90D midi excavator

The E90D’s innovative design features a 4-cylinder, 300-inch displacement engine that ensures superior performance across various applications. Its hydraulic system delivers an impressive 42 gallons per minute, providing operators with the hydraulic power necessary to run multiple attachments simultaneously without compromising efficiency. With this powerful combination, the E90D midi excavator excels in demanding environments, making it an invaluable asset to contractors, landscapers and municipalities alike.

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications in a compact form, the E90D midi excavator boasts impressive specifications, including a dump height and dig depth of almost 7 feet. This capability allows operators to tackle various tasks such as grading, trenching and site preparation with ease. The machine’s bucket breakout force of 13,000 lbs. ensures it can handle the toughest materials, from hard soil to rocky terrain, while its operating weight of 20,305 lbs. strikes the perfect balance between strength and maneuverability, enabling it to navigate tight jobsites with confidence.

Built for every application

One of the standout features of the E90D is its 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 boasts a fuel consumption rate of just 2.5 gallons per hour. This efficiency, combined with a substantial 42 gallons per minute auxiliary hydraulic flow, positions 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 jobsites and conditions.

Maintenance is simplified in this midi excavator with a focus on serviceability that makes 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.

Offering unmatched operator customization and in-cab safety

The E90D features a high-tech automotive cab equipped with climate controls to ensure a comfortable working environment regardless of external conditions. An ergonomically designed joystick with comfortable hand curvature provides intuitive operation with customizable settings that can be adjusted through an easy-to-navigate monitor. This attention to detail allows operators to tailor the machine’s functionality to their specific preferences, enhancing productivity and comfort during long work hours.

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.

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 states.

The E90D midi excavator will be on display at Equip Expo from October 15-18, 2024, in the New Holland Construction booth #7068. This new midi model will be available for ordering on November 1, 2024, at any local New Holland Construction dealership. For more information, visit construction.newholland.com
