CASE introduces two new midi excavators to its lineup
CASE Construction Equipment has introduced two new compact, feature-packed midi excavators designed to bolster productivity and flexibility on the job: the CX85E and CX90E midi excavators.
In an official news release, CASE describes both the CX85E and CX90E as ideal for construction crews working in residential or commercial construction sites, landscapers who are trenching, lifting, grading and digging, or rental companies seeking to offer a wider range of excavator options for their customers.
“Meeting modern worksite challenges takes innovative equipment that can help crews achieve more with less,” said Terry Dolan, head of CNH Construction Brands, North America. “Listening to what contractors need is what drives our ingenuity-obsessed mindset, and it’s why we built our newest CASE midi excavators to deliver big-machine performance in a smart, space-efficient design. It’s all about empowering crews to be more productive than ever in the most challenging environments.”
Combining space-saving dimensions with heavyweight performance, the CASE CX85E and CX90E midi excavators boast a robust 72-horsepower engine that provides ample power for aggressive digging, land clearing, craning, loading or using high-performance attachments, CASE stated. Operating weight on the CX85E is 19,467 lb (8,830 kg) while the CX90E operating weight is 20,305 lb (9,210 kg).
Both machines come with a comprehensive hydraulic package with standard auxiliary, drain-to-tank functionality and quick coupler circuits to drive a wide array of advanced attachments. These features eliminate the need for aftermarket modifications and make these machines well-suited for tackling various tasks across diverse jobsites—whether running hammers, rippers, augers, thumbs, buckets or grapples.
The new midi excavators are also designed to maximize output in confined work zones where larger excavators can’t fit but would otherwise be right for the job. The fixed-boom CX85E delivers maximum performance in tight spaces with zero tailswing, which allows operators to work up against walls, fences or other structures. The optimized swing boom on the CX90E provides 180 degrees of movement with superior reach and dig depth for trenching and confined-space excavation.
“Our goal at CASE is to help increase efficiency, productivity and profitability for contractors with swift, smooth and smart machines that meet today’s evolving jobsite conditions,” said Dolan. “The latest additions to our midi excavator lineup are a big step forward to provide crews with the power, versatility and precision they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive industry.”
