Case Excavators Summarized — 2019 Spec Guide
Seven Compact Machines Offer Precision, Versatility and Operator Comfort
Case Construction Equipment offers seven mini excavators: the CX17C, CX26C, CX33C, CX30C, CX37C, CX57C and CX60C. This updated offering expands the Case mini excavator lineup to its broadest range of sizes ever and provides a more comprehensive and feature-driven compact excavator solution to the construction, landscaping, utility and rental markets. The CX57C and CX60C offer best-in-class horsepower and provide greater power and performance than any previous Case mini excavators, notes the company.
Each model features a variety of standards designed to improve productivity and performance. Offered in zero tail swing, short radius or conventional configurations, C Series mini excavators feature an adjustable boom with the ability to offset left or right to work closer to buildings and obstacles. The CX17C features a variable-width undercarriage and adjustable blade capable of passing through most common gates and for working on confined jobsites, close to buildings and in developed areas.
Weighing 7,990 lbs and with bucket digging forces up to 4,470 ft-lbs, the CX37C is a versatile machine — powerful enough for tough jobs but nimble enough to access more confined areas. In addition to that, like all C Series models — with the exception of the CX57C and CX60C — it can be towed with a pickup truck without the need for a CDL (depending on local and state regulations).
Standard proportional controls provide precision control of all attachments with the ease-of-thumb control, while a standard auxiliary flow diverter valve (CX17C to CX37C) allows the operator to easily switch between single and bi-directional flow for use with a variety of attachments. An easy-to-use pattern selector also comes standard, allowing operators to choose their control pattern preference for optimal productivity.
A standard Auto-Shift travel system provides operator comfort and convenience by securing travel speed and torque as ground conditions change. All C Series mini excavators also feature standard auxiliary hydraulics for easy thumb and attachment setup, as well as standard boom and blade guarding. The CX57C and CX60C come standard with an LCD touchscreen with up-to-the-minute machine performance data and intuitive access to machine settings.
The C Series models provide a spacious operator environment and feature all-around visibility, ergonomic controls and line-of-sight digital displays.
Advice to Buyers
“With a variety of sizes available, as well as conventional, short radius and zero tail swing configurations, it can be confusing to know which is best,” says Ed Brenton, brand marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment. “The most important factor is for the job to get done safely with the right lifting capacities and proper amount of reach. This will help identify which model is right and optimize the overall return on their investment.”
