When it comes to excavators, the CASE C-Series is a big-boy construction vehicle that is designed for heavy-duty applications. This powerful and robust machine sits on crawler tracks to allow it to traverse almost any terrain type, including abrasive terrain that could cause harm to rubber wheels. Its swing arm is engineered to allow for optimal cycle speeds and can be used for mining and quarrying applications with ease.
If you are interested in adding a CASE C-Series to your construction fleet, this article is for you. In this article, we talk about the various elements and functions of these powerful construction vehicles to give you insight on what you can expect from such a machine in your construction fleet.
Getting Your Hands on a Big-Boy Excavator
- Power and Performance: The CASE C-Series range of excavators delivers power and performance in a package that is unrivalled. They are powered by Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT) power units that are specifically designed and engineered for the construction sector. These engines produce optimal amounts of power output and torque generation at low rpm – ensuring that the operator can safely drive and operate the vehicle without having to push the power unit to its limits. Not only does this save fuel, but it also reduces the need for constant maintenance.
- CIHS and Power Modes: The C-Series features the iconic CASE Intelligent Hydraulics System, or CIHS for short. This system ensures that the hydraulics on this machine are properly managed and controlled during operations, allowing for increased efficiency and reduced hydraulic fluid wastage. These machines are also fitted with power mode settings that gives the operator the means to match the power generation with the specific task at hand. Power modes include A-Mode, H-Mode, and SP-Mode, ranging from highly fuel-efficient to maximum power output to suit the specific task that needs to be completed.
- Robust and Durable Construction: These excavators are built to last and withstand harsh work conditions. Sitting on a crawler track chassis, they can traverse loose terrain without getting stuck. The cabin and swing arm rotation happens independently from the crawler tracks – allowing the vehicle to be parked at an ideal spot while the swing arm is freely operated. This is a useful feature when considering the vehicle’s weight and size.
- Operator Comfort and Visibility: The cabin provides the operator with optimal levels of comfort and visibility. The seats are adjustable, and the ergonomic control layout provides the operator with easy and comfortable access. This decreases operator fatigue to extend shifts and get the most out of the excavator during site operations. If you consider the different power modes as well, operators can enjoy extended shifts without having to constantly refuel the machine.
