Case Launches New Generation D Series Crawler Excavators at Intermat 2015

Case Construction Equipment is launching its new generation D Series crawler excavators at the Intermat 2015 exhibition. The four new models, ranging from 25 to 40 tonnes operating weight, run a Tier 4 Final (Stage IV) engine and introduce new features and upgrades that raise the bar on the performance of CX excavators while strengthening the outstanding controllability, low fuel consumption, high comfort and reliability these machines are known for. The new generation D Series offers the high productivity, comfort and safety combined with low running costs that construction businesses look for.

D Series: ‘Time for a bigger performance’
The new D Series crawler excavators feature the proven Case Intelligent Hydraulic System that places Case CX excavators among the very best in the market for their impressive controllability and performance. The new electronically controlled hydraulic pumps and larger main valve further boost the new generation’s productivity: they improve the machine’s responsiveness, resulting in cycle times up to 12% faster than the previous generation’s; they result in a breakout force up to 6% higher than the C Series; and they increase the models’ lifting power. 
In addition, the CX370D features 2 bigger pumps compared to the model it replaces, with a maximum flow of 2x300 litres/minute.

Economical to run
The new generation D Series crawler excavators strengthen the Case leadership in fuel efficiency, which is up to 8% higher than the previous generation’s as a result of the engine technology and the improved hydraulics.
The new models comply with Tier 4 Final (Stage IV) emissions standards with Case’s maintenance-free SCR solution, which requires no Diesel Particulate Filter or regeneration, resulting in maximum uptime and lower operating costs. 
The large AdBlue tank and low additive consumption result in outstanding autonomy, as the AdBlue tank only needs to be refilled every 5 refuelling stops, so that Case customers will be able to work longer hours without pause.

Superior Operator Comfort
The pressurized cab with cushioning system ensure remarkably low noise and vibration levels, providing an operating environment among the quietest in the D Series’ class. The spacious cab with ample legroom for the operator features and the fully adjustable workstation with optional heated air-ride seat create an ideal working environment. 

The large widescreen monitor accommodates a continuous camera view and all the performance data the operator needs, such as fuel consumption rates, maintenance information and machine diagnostics. 

Designed for safety
The cab meets ROPS and fops LEVEL II safety standards, providing maximum protection to the operator. Daily service points are easily accessible and reached safely with the standard handrails. The excellent visibility is further enhanced after dark with the optional LED lighting package that provides a deeper and wider coverage of the area around the machine at work. The optional factory fitted travel alarm contributes to greater safety on the jobsite around the machine.

The new generation D Series crawler excavators also offer features to protect the customers’ asset; the SiteWatch telematics system enables the fleet manager to keep track of the machine and helps prevent misuse of the equipment, while the lock code protects the units from theft.
