New Case E-Series crawler excavators

Case Construction Equipment has announced the launch of its new Case E-Series Crawler Excavator range. Building on a legacy of earth moving innovation spanning 180 years, alongside its manufacturing experience and customer feedback, the Case E-Series range includes seven new models from 13- to 30-tonne: CX130E, CX160E, CX180E, CX210E, CX240E, CX250E, CX300E.

Market-leading features include new FPT Industrial (FPT) Stage 5 engines, enhanced cab design and operator experience, improved hydraulics’ controls and settings, machine structure, undercarriage and new full range of Case Service Solutions. As a result, customers benefit from greater controllability, reliability, operator comfort, efficiency, productivity and total cost of ownership (TCO). 

The new E-Series range has many new features that integrate and work together to deliver market-leading uptime, productivity and profitability for customers. When combined, the new Stage 5 FPT engines, Case Intelligent Hydraulic System (CIHS), new work modes, telematics, optimised cab control layout and improved visibility lead to greater controllability and precision. In turn, this results in safer, more productive and more profitable operations. The new E-Series is delivering competitive advantage to customers.

CIHS, a leading feature of the previous generation, is now integrated with four new work modes, with additional customisable hydraulic settings to adjust the flow priority for arm, boom or swing movements all controllable by the operator. Efficiency-enhancing Super Power (SP) mode delivers maximum productivity, Power (P) mode provides a surge of power when needed and Lifting (L) mode optimises object handling. When paired with the new FPT engines, the Eco (E) mode delivers fuel savings of up to 17% on some models. 

Case reinforces the long-standing partnership with FPT, with its strengths in construction powertrain design. The E-Series incorporates more powerful and efficient Stage 5 engines in all new series models. The 13- to 18-tonne models feature N45, the 4.5-litre engines from the renowned NEF series, while the N67, from the same engine family, powers the 21- to 30-tonne models providing 6.7-litre displacement.

The new e-Series is equipped with HI-eSCR2, the patented after-treatment solution by FPT that is completely maintenance free and built for-life. There is no requirement for mechanical cleaning or replacement over the life cycle. Case has also improved the service experience by doubling the maintenance intervals up to 1,000 hours for engine oil, fuel filters and oil filters.

The new FPT Stage 5 engines are designed to offer flexible fuelling solutions for customers, particularly those operating in jurisdictions with demanding local regulations. All E-Series models can run on regular or alternative fuels, such as increasingly popular HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oils).

In addition to the new work modes, the E-Series provides operators with increased levels of comfort and visibility. The cab has many new features that will enhance the overall operating experience. Improved access, a brand new 10-inch LCD monitor with five configurable buttons, new control layout, suspended pilot lever console, improved air conditioning system and larger storage compartments.

All E-Series models retain the top tier comfort and safety features of the previous generation crawler excavators: spacious and roomy, fully adjustable ergonomic seats, optimised armrest position and joystick control. The right-hand side visibility was good before, and now it is excellent. Operator protection is still a priority, with standard safety features, such as the falling object protective structure (FOPS) level 2, retained.   

Additional competitive advantage for customers comes from the productivity, profitability and uptime of the new Case E-Series Crawler Excavator range. Case Service Solutions is a range of connected and non-connected after sales services that support customer experiences. Meanwhile, the bidirectional modem enables the use of Case SiteConnect and Case SiteWatchTM, a complete fleet management tool.

Full details, including an in-depth report on the first Case E-Series in the UK, will feature in the May 2022 issue of EARTHMOVERS MAGAZINE, on sale Friday April 1st!
