New 32,100-pound minimum-swing excavator offers reduced footprint, precision maneuverability and powerful bucket digging force and lift capacity for road and bridge work, utility, landscaping and general construction applications.

CASE Construction Equipment has introduced the all-new CX245D SR minimum-swing radius excavator to its D Series lineup. Designed to provide increased digging and lifting power in confined work areas, the CX245D SR features a compact counterweight and modified boom placement that minimizes the machine’s footprint, resulting in a highly productive and maneuverable excavator that’s ideal for restricted conditions, such as road and bridge work, residential projects and urban construction.

With an operating weight of 60,400 pounds and a 160 HP Tier 4 Final engine, the CX245D SR offers increased bucket digging forces (up to 34,600 pounds) and lift capacity (up to 22,950 pounds) compared to the previous model.

CASE Construction Equipment recently had four new products named to Construction Equipment’s 2016 Top 100 New Products list — the CASE CX210D LR, CX250D LR, CX490D and CX500D crawler excavators.

Compiled based on editors’ reviews and nominations, the Top 100 awards are designed to recognize the top equipment of the year based on advances in technology, new product lines, significant improvements to existing products and increasing competition in the field.
