Ranging from 25-40 tonnes, 176 Case Construction Equipment is unveiling its four new generation D Series crawler excavators.

The quartet of new models – CX250D, CX300D, CX350D, and CX370D - have Tier 4 Final (Stage IV) engines and boast new features and upgrades said to raise the bar on the performance of CX excavators.

The new D Series machines feature the proven Case Intelligent Hydraulic System, said to place Case CX excavators among the very best in the market for their impressive controllability and performance. The new electronically controlled hydraulic pumps and larger main valve further raise the new generation’s productivity: they improve the machine’s responsiveness, said to result 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.

Furthermore, the CX370D features two bigger pumps compared to the model it replaces, with a maximum flow of 2x300litres/minute.

The new D Series crawler excavators are said to strengthen Case’s leadership in fuel efficiency, claimed to be up to 8% higher than the previous generation’s as a result of the engine technology and the improved hydraulics.

D Series models comply with Tier 4 Final (Stage IV) emissions standards with Case’s maintenance-free SCR solution, which requires no Diesel Particulate Filter or regeneration, resulting in maximum uptime and lower operating costs.

The models’ large AdBlue tank and low additive consumption are said to result in outstanding autonomy, as the AdBlue tank only needs to be refilled every five refuelling stops, so that Case customers will be able to work longer hours without pause.

The pressurised cab with cushioning system is said to ensure remarkably low noise and vibration levels, providing an operating environment among the quietest in the D Series’ class.

    Volvo says that its new EC140D excavator combines high fuel efficiency, uptime and productivity. The machine is powered by a Tier 2-compliant D3.8F engine that is said to be well-matched to its hydraulics to deliver low fuel consumption for an excavator in the 12.8-15.8tonne weight class. Operators can choose from five intelligent work modes – I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy), and P (Power Max) – to ensure only the right amount of flow is delivered for the task at hand.

    Caterpillar’s seventh generation 988 wheeled loader – the 988K – is powered by a Tier 4 Final/Stage IV Cat C18 ACERT diesel engine, featuring selective catalytic reduction and delivering 362kW. The engine is said to deliver a 20% fuel efficiency benefit compared to the 988H, thanks in part to an ECO mode with on-demand throttle, auto idle and engine idle kickdown/auto resume system. The 50tonne machine moves away from its predecessor’s monoboom loader arm design in favour of a Z-bar linkage.
