Upgrades drive greater productivity, operator
satisfaction, efficiency and improved total cost of
ownership over the life of the machine
Two new size classes, massive new operator
interface with new control customizations/configurations, improved
engine performance and hydraulics all drive greater performance and
operational gains
RACINE,
Wis., Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CASE
Construction Equipment continues turning heads with major rollouts
— on the heels of introducing the first-of-its-kind CASE Minotaur™
DL550 compact dozer loader, the manufacturer is completely
reloading its entire line of excavators. Today the company
introduced seven new models of E Series excavators — including two
in new size classes — focused on enhancing the total operator
experience in performance and control to deliver even greater
productivity, operator satisfaction, and operational efficiency
while driving down total cost of ownership over the life of the
machine.
These new excavators also represent an enhanced level of
hydraulic performance and precision, greater engine power and
responsiveness, extended service intervals, and greater
connectivity for streamlined fleet management and service. The new
offering also includes one of the industry's most expansive
offerings of OEM-fit 2D and 3D machine control systems to simplify
the adoption and expansion of precision excavation solutions.
"CASE E Series excavators build on the powerful, smooth and
responsive controls that CASE is known for, while adding all-new
control customizations and configurations to drive that improved
operator experience," says Brad
Stemper, head of construction equipment product management
in North America for CASE. "The E
Series is both highly engineered for performance and built on a
platform proven to withstand the heavy work and harsh working
environments excavators work in every day."
The seven new models for the North American market include:

The new lineup replaces five key models in the CASE excavator
lineup, while also introducing two all-new models: the CX190E and
the CX365E SR. Dozer blade and long reach models are also available
in select configurations, and certain D Series excavator models
will remain in the CASE product offering — next-generation versions
of those machines will be introduced later.
"The CX190E is a 41,000-pound machine that fits a very important
area of demand for contractors throughout North America, and the CX365E SR represents
something that our partners have made clear they want — a minimum
swing radius excavator in that 3.5 metric ton or larger class,"
says Stemper. "The size, power and performance of that machine in a
tighter footprint will transform the workflow and productivity on
jobsites with space restrictions."
"Between building out a more comprehensive product offering and
delivering one of the broadest offerings of 2D and 3D OEM-fit
machine control solutions, CASE E Series excavators are built to
drive performance and efficiency for excavation businesses of all
shapes and sizes."
Putting More Control and Confidence into the
Workspace
Enhancing total operator control and experience is about the
marriage of the operator environment and the overall performance of
the machine — and that all comes together with the operator
interface of the machine.
One of the most noticeable enhancements in the cab of the new
CASE E Series excavators is the 10-inch LCD display that provides
even greater access and visibility to cameras, machine data and
controls. This includes the ability to display rear- and sideview
cameras at all times while still accessing machine data and
controls, ensuring optimal visibility and jobsite awareness. This
includes the popular optional CASE Max View™ display for even
greater visibility and safer operation that provides 270 degrees of
visibility around the machine.
The new display allows for excellent control customization with
five configurable buttons that can be set to each operator's most
used functions – including, but not limited to fuel consumption,
machine information, auxiliary hydraulics and emissions controls.
The new Hydraulic Flow Control Balance for the hydraulic system, as
well as the new attachment controls, are also controlled through
this display.
CASE has also expanded on the operator comfort and ergonomics
that were a hallmark of the D Series excavators with a new
suspended operator station that locks the seat and console together
so that, no matter the size of the operator, they have the same
experience in terms of orientation to the armrests and the
controls. Both the console and the armrest can now be further
adjusted to meet operator preference.
Next-Level Engine and Hydraulic Power
CASE excavators have always been known for smooth and responsive
hydraulics thanks to the CASE Intelligent Hydraulic System, but the
addition of new FPT Industrial engines throughout the product line,
along with new enhancements to the hydraulic systems, provide even
greater power and performance.
The FPT Industrial engines offer greater displacement,
horsepower and torque than previous models within the CASE
lineup1, driving even more power and responsiveness for
the operator. Four new work modes (SP for Super Power, P for Power,
E for Eco and L for Lifting) are available to be set in a range of
up to 10 throttle settings allowing operators to dial in
performance to their work, and the new Eco mode drives lower fuel
consumption by as much as 18 percent compared to previous CASE
excavators2.
The addition of FPT Industrial engines to the CASE lineup brings
with it the manufacturer's legacy of innovative emissions solutions
that are both maintenance free and drive greater efficiency for the
owner/operator. New CASE E Series excavators feature an innovative
combination of diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) and particulate matter catalyst technologies that
further provide greater fuel efficiency, systems reliability and no
lifetime after-treatment replacement or mechanical service over
time. The system features 13 patents that ensure effective
emissions compliance and performance in all working
environments.
New hydraulic priority capabilities further allow the operator
to set machine performance and responsiveness to their liking. CASE
calls this Hydraulic Flow Control Balance, and it allows the
operator to set arm in, boom up and swinging flow to their liking.
Now the excavator will be even more responsive and efficient
directly as it relates to the preferences of the operator.
Attachment use has also been dialed in even further with the
ability to adjust hydraulic flows based on specific attachment
types through the new display, and to set maximum overflow for each
attachment for optimal attachment performance.
Improving Uptime, Responsiveness and Lifetime Owning &
Operating Costs
In addition to lifetime service and maintenance advancements —
such as extending service intervals on engine oil and fuel filters
— CASE has brought these machines even further into the world of
collaborative fleet management with the introduction of new
connectivity and telematics capabilities across the product
line.
CASE accomplishes this through the new SiteConnect Module along
with the new SiteManager App (iOS and Android). This app pairs the
operator's phone or device to the machine to enable remote
analysis. Certified CASE technicians then diagnose the health of
each connected machine through various parameter readings and fault
codes — and the technician determines whether the issue can be
addressed remotely (such as clearing codes or updating software) or
if it requires a trip to the machine.
CASE also leverages the SiteConnect Module to further improve
telematics data and performance, and the collaboration between
equipment owner, dealer and manufacturer. This enhanced
connectivity allows the machine owner to share — at their
discretion — real-time machine information with the dealer and the
CASE Uptime Center in Racine,
Wis.
The SiteConnect Module also improves the volume, flow and
integration of data to the CASE SiteWatch telematics platform for
real-time monitoring, management of maintenance and service
intervals, examination of equipment utilization and overall machine
record-keeping.
And to show that CASE fully stands behind this new line, each
new CASE E Series excavator comes standard with CASE ProCare: a
three-year CASE SiteWatch™ telematics subscription, a
three-year/3,000-hour full-machine factory warranty, and a
three-year/2,000-hour planned maintenance contract. ProCare allows
business owners to invest in new equipment while making owning and
operating costs predictable for the first three years of lease or
ownership.
Easier than Ever to Experience Precision Excavation
CASE has also expanded its OEM-fit 2D, 3D and semi-automatic
machine control solutions to an even broader range of models. This
ensures that the optimal combination of machine and solution is
installed and tested by CASE certified precision field specialists.
It also simplifies the acquisition process and allows for the
technology to be grouped in with the purchase of the machine —
combining the financing or lease approval, rate and payment in a
single package. It also gets the owner and operator of that machine
up and running with machine control faster.
