CASE adds new D Series excavator

Racine, Wis., – CASE Construction Equipment introduces the CX145D SR minimum-swing radius excavator to its D Series lineup. Designed to provide ample digging and lifting power in a small footprint, the CX145D SR features a compact counterweight and modified boom placement. The excavator was designed to be maneuverable and easy to transport. It can be used for road and bridge work, utilities, urban construction and landscaping applications.

With an operating weight of 32,100 pounds and a 102 HP Tier 4 Final engine, the CX145D SR offers bucket digging forces up to 21,400 foot-pounds and lift capacities up to 21,350 pounds. Options include a dozer blade configuration as well as the choice between either steel or rubber tracks depending on operating conditions and jobsite requirements.

Each D Series model features an electronically controlled hydraulic pump and larger control and solenoid valves to increase lifting capacities and improve responsiveness.

D Series models offer more standard features than previous CASE excavators, to make them versatile and operator friendly.

The CASE CX145D SR excavator meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards through a combination of selective catalytic reduction (SCR), cooled gas exhaust recirculation (CEGR) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) technologies, which helps maximize uptime and performance.

A new electronically controlled pump a larger control valve and multiple sensors offer faster cycle times.

The four systems that make up the CASE Intelligent Hydraulic System are: Boom Economy Control (BEC), which reduces RPMs by using gravity during boom down and swing; Auto Economy Control (AEC), which lowers RPMs during idle and automatically shuts down the engine after a preset idle time; Swing Relief Control (SWC), which reduces hydraulic power at the swing start; and Spool Stroke Control (SSC), which adjusts hydraulic pressure during digs. It actively manages hydraulic power throughout lift/dump and dig/curl movements to maximize speed and efficiency while reducing fuel consumption by minimizing unnecessary hydraulic flow.

An Auto Power Boost feature provides increased breakout forces in tough applications. The excavator has three power modes. • Automatic (A): The best balance between productivity and fuel efficiency • Heavy Duty (HD): High workload mode • Speed Priority (SP): Extra speed and power for demanding jobs that require maximum productivity

Free Swing for improved craning, laying or lifting of offset loads; oil sample ports for quick sampling of engine and hydraulic oils; and an easy pattern selector for the operator’s preference of ISO or SAE controls are now standard features.

The CX145D SR features a more spacious cab with more visibility, a standard fully-adjustable heated air-ride seat, ergonomic multifunctional controls, and a pressurized, viscous-mounted cab to reduce noise and vibration. Bluetooth radios are also standard. Standard rear-view and side-view cameras feed a 7-inch widescreen monitor that also provides operators with real-time access to performance parameters, including fuel consumption, operating hours and machine information. The optional CASE Max View Monitor provides 270-degree visibility for jobsite safety awareness and providing the operator full visibility of the machine’s surroundings.

Each D Series machine is available with a new (optional) LED working light package that provides bright illumination for around-the-clock work. The LED package includes six LED lights (two front, two rear and one on each side).

All CASE D Series excavators are covered under CASE ProCare – a suite of product assurances that includes a three-year Advanced CASE SiteWatch telematics subscription, a three-year/3,000-hour full-machine factory warranty, and a three-year/3,000-hour planned maintenance contract.
