THE CX365E SR SHORT RADIUS EXCAVATOR FITS IN A NEW SIZE CLASS FOR CASE.

In a complete update of its excavator line, CASE Construction Equipment has launched seven models, including a pair that slot into size classes previously untouched in the CASE portfolio.

The E Series includes updated and enhanced hydraulic performance and precision, greater engine power and responsiveness, extended service intervals, and greater connectivity for streamlined fleet management and service. It also features a range of 2D and 3D machine control options, all OEM-fit to make it easier for buyers to take advantage of precision excavation solutions.

Seven models span an operating weight range from 28,900 to 78,600 pounds and include the CX190E and CX365E SR, which are all-new in key size classes. The other five models replace existing D Series machines, though Case states that some D Series models will remain in the CASE product offering until next-generation versions are 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,” said Brad Stemper, head of construction equipment product management in North America for CASE. “The size, power, and performance of that machine in a tighter footprint will transform the workflow and productivity on job sites with space restrictions.”

New FPT Industrial engines are featured throughout the line, offering a variety of improvements over previous powerplants in CASE excavators. The new engines bring greater displacement, horsepower, and torque compared to previous CASE models, providing more power and responsiveness. They have four work modes – SP (Super Power), P (Power), E (Eco), and L (Lifting) that can be set within a range of 10 throttle settings. This allows operators to dial in performance as needed. Eco mode can lower fuel consumption by up to 18 percent compared to previous machines, CASE says.

FPT Industrial engines feature innovative emissions solutions; they use a combination of diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and particulate matter catalyst technologies that provide further fuel efficiency and reliability, while not requiring lifetime aftertreatment replacement or mechanical service.

CASE Hydraulic Flow Control Balance adds new hydraulic priority capabilities which allows operators to set performance and responsiveness as they prefer. Arm in, boom up, and swinging flow can be adjusted, improving the way the machine responds to the operator’s control inputs.

Extended service intervals on engine oil and fuel filters are one step to improve uptime on the E Series machines. Telematics updates using the CASE SiteConnect Module and SiteManager app allow operators to use their phone or device to enable remote access. CASE technicians can diagnose the health of connected machines remotely and assess whether a service call is needed. Owners can opt to share real-time data with their dealer and CASE to allow for greater analysis and optimization. SiteConnect Module can be used to improve the flow of data to the SiteWatch telematics platform as well.

Greater control is a key part of the redesign, according to CASE, and the interface between operator and machine has been updated. In the cab, the E Series has a 10-inch LCD display which provides easy access to cameras, machine data, and controls. Controls can be custom-set to the operator’s preferences through the system, offering access to machine information, fuel consumption, hydraulics, emissions controls, the new Hydraulic Flow Control Balance, and new attachment controls.

Rear- and side-view cameras can be displayed at all times while accessing machine data and controls, improving visibility and job site awareness. CASE offers an optional Max View display which provides 270 degrees of visibility around the machine.

Ergonomics have been improved as well, with a new suspended operator station that locks the seat and console together and ensures that all sizes of operator can get comfortable and work efficiently in the cab.

The availability of OEM-fit 2D, 3D, and semi-automatic machine control solutions has been expanded across more excavator models, ensuring that the optimal combination of machine and solution is installed and tested by CASE professionals. This also allows buyers to bundle the technology into the purchase of the machine.

BOBCAT’S NEW LOADERS DELIVER HIGHER CAPACITIES AND POWER COMPARED TO OTHER BOBCAT LOADERS.

They may be small machines, but skid-steer and compact track loaders are a big part of construction sites today. Bobcat’s latest loader introductions take that to heart by providing the most power of any compact machines the company has ever produced.

The T86 compact track loader and S86 skid-steer loader have been designed with a system that delivers three hydraulic flow options in one machine, adding performance and improving the machines’ versatility with attachments. They also feature Premium Power Performance, Bobcat’s power management system which, on loaders with high-flow and super-flow hydraulics, helps distribute power more efficiently.

To ensure that hydraulic performance is right for each user and every job, three flow options are available on these loaders. Standard flow, designed for operating attachments that require lower hydraulic horsepower, delivers 23.0 gpm and 3,500 psi. High flow, which delivers 36.6 gpm and 3,500 psi, offers added hydraulic power for attachments like trenchers, planers, stump grinders, and more. At the top of the range, the optional Super Flow offers 42 gpm and 4,061 psi and is aimed at users running milling attachments and land and brush clearing tools, among others.

Bobcat has designed these machines and attachments to match up ideally in electronics, hydraulics, and geometry. A small, seven-pin attachment harness activates power and fingertip control functions while taking out mechanical relays used on other loaders.

The T86 offers 105 hp and 3,800 pounds of rated operating capacity. Bobcat boosted the horsepower on the T86 and S86 while keeping machine weight optimized, resulting in greater lifting capacity, strong breakout forces, and faster cycle times. With the capacity to operate high-power attachments, multitask effectively, and handle heavier loads, these machines are quick and productive, Bobcat says, while also more efficient.

These machines feature Bobcat’s Tier 4 engine, which does not require a diesel particulate filter – a downtime-reducing benefit that also lowers long-term costs. Cooling is done with a high-capacity radiator and cooling fan about twice the size of traditional fans, which is more energy efficient and generates less noise.

In the cab, the T86 and S86 are comfortable and designed to give operators a good working experience all day. Design features throughout the machine help improve operator comfort – for example, the machines feature a one-piece sealed cab that blocks noise more efficiently, while a triple-flange rear idler and optional 5-link torsion suspension undercarriage cut down on vibration for easier operation through long days. Workgroup response settings give the operator an opportunity to adjust joystick sensitivity to their preference and desired level of precision.

The operator also has access to an easy-to-read cab display that allows for interaction and monitoring. A rear-view camera is standard on both machines. Bobcat’s Machine IQ allows for remote monitoring and management, and MaxControl adds the opportunity for remote operation and geofencing for object avoidance during semi-autonomous operation.
