CASE Excavators: Why Do I Need One?

Most construction contractors will attest to the fact that crawler excavators can make a noticeable difference on a construction site. These machines are engineered to dig, demolish, and move materials or ground from one location to another with ease. Riding on crawler tracks, they can traverse almost any terrain type without any problem. The only drawback to these vehicles is that they are big and heavy.

CASE Construction offers a sensible range with their C-Series crawler excavators. These construction vehicles feature cutting-edge technologies. These allow the excavators to maximise power usage and deliver optimal performance ratings for digging, earthmoving, and quarrying applications. Today, we discuss the applications and benefits of these machines.

Applications of a Crawler Excavator

• Mining: The mining industry is one of the largest and most active industries in South Africa and its neighbouring countries. CASE Construction’s range of crawler excavators can be directly applied to this industry. They are highly effective when used for quarrying, earthmoving, and digging purposes.
• Demolition: Demolition is part of the construction industry. Its primary purpose is to create room for new structures and buildings by removing building materials or collapsed structures that are in the way.
• Forestry: Yet another booming industry in southern Africa. Not only can crawler excavators be useful in this sector, but they are also set up to traverse tricky, loose, and slippery terrain with ease.
• Construction: These versatile machines can be used for a variety of applications throughout the construction industry. These include digging holes and trenches, as well as assisting with foundations. When you have a large-scale construction project in the pipelines, you could use a CASE C-Series to your advantage.
• Earthmoving: Crawler excavators are ideal earthmovers. Their functionality can also be applied to loading, grading, and lifting/carrying applications.
• Dredging: With an abundance of groundwater sources in parts of southern Africa, chances are that you might need machines that can dredge water while performing construction tasks. Luckily, the crawler tracks are not afraid of getting wet.

Benefits of a Crawler Excavator

• Stability: Most large-scale construction vehicles require some type of counterbalance to keep them upright and pointing in the right direction. CASE crawler excavators sit on heavy-duty crawler tracks and are designed for optimal stability during operations.
• Heavy-Duty Made Easy: These construction vehicles make heavy-duty digging, earthmoving, and lifting easy for the operator. By design, they can get the job done on a larger scale.
• Conquer Elevations and Slopes: By sitting on crawler tracks, the C-Series can easily position itself up against slopes or inclines. This gives them the unique ability to scale slopes as well. Therefore, they can be used to even out and landscape sloped areas more efficiently. They can also be used to even out uneven terrain that might be tricky for other excavators or diggers to accomplish.
