Case Construction Equipment expanded its compact excavator product line into a new class segment with the introduction of the Case CX55B minimum tail swing model at ConExpo last month in Las Vegas.
With a large boom and arm for greater reach, the Case CX55B delivers 11,240 foot pounds of bucket digging force. Its 39.3-hp engine, operating weight of 12,295 pounds and dig depth of 12 feet, 10 inches gives the CX55B enough size and power for tackling a variety of utility, commercial and residential construction applications. Its compact size and cab height of 8 feet, 4 inches make the Case CX55B excavator as easy to trailer between jobsites as a skid steer, the company said.
“The CX55B is a compact excavator with all the power of a full-sized excavator,” said Curtis Goettel, marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment. “Whether you’re digging, lifting, loading or dozing, the CX55B will satisfy the most demanding operators.”
The full-size cab design is 10-percent larger and 7 inches wider than other Case B Series compact excavator cabs. Large front and rear windows improve operator visibility, and a new slide-up front window improves air flow and helps the operator communicate more effectively with coworkers near the machine.
Case Construction Equipment sells and supports a full line of construction equipment, including loader/backhoes, articulated trucks, excavators, telescopic handlers, motor graders, wheel loaders, vibratory compaction rollers, crawler dozers, skid steers, compact track loaders and rough-terrain forklifts.
