Racine, Wisconsin-based Case Construction Equipment now is offering four new mini excavator models it says are easy to transport, simple to use and offering features that give operators more flexibility on smaller projects and tight jobsites.

The equipment company says its three new diesel-powered D Series mini excavators and one electric model also offer “cost-effective pricing to aid in customer success," and that they can fit on a pickup truck trailer before engaging in work even “in the most challenging environments,” such as confined demolition jobsites.

“Labor shortages, close-quarter environments more stringent jobsite requirements—the challenges crews are up against today are more varied than ever,” says Terry Dolan, head of CNH Construction Brands, North America. (Case is part of Europe-based CNH Industrial.)

“Helping crews meet the demands of the modern worksite is what drives our practical approach to innovation, and it’s why we’ve focused heavily on enhancing our robust lineup of mini excavators to offer the most efficient solutions. These new models deliver big on power, but they’re also easier to transport, move around the jobsite, operate, maintain and own, compared to larger machines."

Construction contractors, municipal crews, utility teams, landscapers and specialty contractors who need versatile tool carriers for diverse jobsite challenges are among those who can find applications for the four mini excavators, according to Case.

New to Case’s lineup are the ultra-compact, 11.8-horsepower CX12D; the 18.4-horsepower CX19D; the all-electric, 32.3-kilowatt-hour CX25EV; and the heavy-duty model of the four, the 59.4-horsepower CX60D.

All the new models feature zero or minimal tail swing and what Case calls intuitive controls, designed to make them easy to operate in tight spaces.

Easy-to-access service points make them simple to maintain, according to the firm, and with two standard auxiliary hydraulic circuits and optional quick couplers to streamline attachment changes, the machines “offer excellent attachment versatility, letting crews expand their tool set to take on more jobs."

Regarding the electric-powered CX25EV, Case says it is an ideal machine when a crew faces unique jobsite requirements where noise or emissions need to be kept to a minimum, such as interior dismantling applications.

“Helping crews get more done on the job and helping contractors and rental houses grow their business is what drives our relentless focus on continuous improvement,” Dolan says. “With our expanded mini excavator lineup, we’re equipping teams with the most advanced technology, powerful performance and intuitive design so they can work more efficiently than ever before.”
