ase Construction Equipment has
launched its new generation D Se-
ries crawler excavators at the Inter-
mat 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 out-
standing controllability, low fuel consump-
tion, high comfort and reliability these ma-
chines are known for. The new generation
D Series offers high productivity, comfort
and safety, combined with low running
costs that construction businesses look for.
The D Series crawler excavators feature
the proven Case Intelligent Hydraulic Sys-
tem that places Case CX excavators among
the best in the market for their impressive
controllability and performance. The elec-
tronically 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 two bigger
pumps compared to the model it replaces,
with a maximum flow of 2x300 litres/minute.
The new generation crawler excavators
strengthen the Case leadership in fuel effi-
ciency, which is up to 8 % higher than the
previous generation’s as a result of the en-
gine 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 re-
quires no Diesel Particulate Filter or regen-
eration, resulting in maximum uptime and
lower operating costs.
The large AdBlue tank and low additive con-
sumption result in outstanding autonomy, as
the AdBlue tank only needs to be refilled ev-
ery five refueling stops, so that Case custom-
ers will be able to work longer hours without
pause.
The pressurised cab, with cushioning system,
ensures 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 accommo-
dates a continuous camera view and all the
performance data the operator needs, such
as fuel consumption rates, maintenance in-
formation and machine diagnostics.
The cab meets ROPS and FOPS LEVEL II
safety standards, providing maximum pro-
tection 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 option-
al LED lighting package that provides a deep-
er 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 ex-
cavators 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 mis-
use of the equipment, while the lock code
protects the units from theft.
