Case CE Re-Enters Wheeled Excavator Market with the WX175E SR

Hit the streets at speeds up to 22 mph with the new WX175E SR short-radius wheeled excavator from Case Construction Equipment.

Previewed at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023, the WX175 E SR is one of several wheeled machines Case is adding to its E Series lineup of excavators. While Case has consistently offered wheel excavators overseas, the announcement marked the product line’s re-entry to the North American market.

Built for working on roadside projects and in metro areas, the WX175 SR offers powerful hydraulic performance, responsive controls, attachment flexibility and an enhanced operator experience with a large cab, automotive styling and creature comforts, Case says. As a wheeled machine, the unit is capable of self-transporting between jobs.

“Jobsites are becoming tighter; transporting steel-tracked equipment relatively short distances can be challenging, and steel tracks represent a large portion of the lifetime owning-and-operating costs of any piece of heavy equipment,” says Diego Butzke, product manager, Case. “The new lineup of Case wheeled excavators addresses and improves on those challenges while still delivering a full-featured excavator experience capable of both production-level hogging and more specialized use with attachments.”
