CASE Construction Equipment introduces a new range of compact excavators that offers superior performance in utility, commercial and residential construction applications.
The new 5.5-tonne CX55Bx excavators, according to Case Product Marketing Manager, Blake Irwin offer superior lift capacity, digging force and operator comfort. Especially suitable for working in tight spots, the compact excavator has all the power of a full-sized excavator, making this new model one of the most versatile and productive machines on the market.
The Case CX55Bx excavators come with a range of attachments including buckets, hammers and augers as well as a standard dozer blade for finish grading work. The standard dozer blade features a 38-degree approach angle, and its shape rolls the dirt as it pushes, leaving a smooth and level surface.
A bigger fuel tank for extended operation, better operator comfort with a larger cabin and superior visibility as well as an easy maintenance design are some of the features in the new Case excavator range.
