Managing a construction vehicle fleet in South Africa requires you to have access to purpose-built construction vehicles for any and all tasks that might pop up on site. If you want to add a small, nimble, and agile digger to your lineup, CASE Construction has you covered. Our brand-new range of compact excavators fits this bill to the tee.
With a tall and compact frame that sits on a set of mini crawler tracks, such a compact excavator can reach confined spaces that have limited room for movement. It is the ideal fit for suburban ground excavations, where light poles, residential fences, and other obstacles can make it difficult for larger machinery to properly function. Today, we discuss some interesting facts about these compact excavators.
Interesting Facts About the CX26C and CX60C Compact Excavators
- Zero Tail Swing Design: Most crawler track excavators on the market experience some level of tail swing. This is caused by the cabin’s design that sits on the crawler tracks, mostly because of counterweight and balancing. As an operator of such a machine, you must always calculate for tail swing effects during operations. CASE’s CX26C and CX60C are designed to eliminate any tail swing, allowing for faster cycle times and more controlled 180° rotations.
- Smart Hydraulic Power: These compact excavators are fitted with a fully integrated flow-pump hydraulic system. This allows the vehicle to precisely direct hydraulic power to areas of need during operations. This system can prioritise the boom, the swing arm, or the crawler tracks, depending on what is needed at any given time. Now, you can operate these machines with confidence that you will have the necessary hydraulic power for the task at hand.
- The Highly Manoeuvrable CX26C: The CX26C features an automatic 2-speed travel configuration. This gives you the means to efficiently shift between high-speed tracking and high-torque digging modes, allowing you to effectively get where you want to be and start digging right away.
- The “Big Mini”: The CX60C is a testament to the saying that dynamite comes in small packages. For its size, it produces an impressive 9 200 lbs of breakout force. This gives you the power to efficiently dig through compacted ground and other materials that are difficult to penetrate with a digger alone. With a CX60C in your fleet, heavy digging in confined spaces just got a lot easier.
- A Variety of Attachments: CASE Construction’s range of compact excavators comes with a variety of hydraulic attachments. This adds to the versatility of these machines, as they can be transformed into tool carriers for landscaping purposes, demolition jobs, and various utility maintenance and installation purposes. If you consider all these elements, adding such a vehicle to your fleet will bolster your lineup and ensure that you can take on more jobs within confined spaces.
