Case CX130CCase has introduced two new excavators to its CX C Series, our sister site, Equipment World, reported.
The excavators–CX130C and CX160C–feature optimized hydraulics systems, improved fuel efficiency, easier maintenance and more.
A Tier 4 Interim engine powers each of the machines, delivering 100 horsepower to the CX130C and 124 horsepower to the CX160C.
The machines also feature improved lift capacities. The CX130C has a 4-percent improvement, while the CX160C has an improvement of 2 percent. In addition to lift improvement, the CX160C reduces cycle times by 3 percent.
The excavators come with three power modes that allow the operator to customize performance for specific applications: SP (speed priority), H (heavy duty) and A (automatic). Other features include Boom Economy Control to lower engine rpms during boom down and swing, as well as Auto Economy Control to lower rpms when the joysticks are inactive.
