CASE Construction Equipment has expanded its mini excavator line-up, with the addition of a 3.9-tonne machine, that delivers a cost-effective, feature-rich alternative for a wide variety of applications. The CX38D is the 20th model in the market-leading CASE compact excavator range.
It weighs 430kg more than the popular CX35D and sits on a 120mm wider undercarriage, for additional stability, with an optional six-way dozer blade further enhancing its versatility. Maximum digging depth and reach are increased, thanks to a 200mm longer dipper arm than the CX35D, with a 250mm longer arm available as an option. If additional lifting capability is required, there is also the option of a heavier counterweight.
Hydraulic power
Innovative load sensing hydraulics provide accurate, simultaneous movement of all hydraulic functions, with low-effort joysticks making life easier for the operator. The CX38D can be supplied with up to three auxiliary circuits, all controlled through electro-proportional roller switches on the joysticks.
New hydraulic architecture has been introduced to provide excellent breakout forces, lifting capacity and upper carriage swing performance. The dozer blade is equipped with a float function, making it easier for operators to level ground and clear the job site. Two options normally only available on larger models, include electro-proportional flow control for the first auxiliary service and electro-proportional engine rpm control with auto-idle functionality.
Operator comfort
As with all CASE D-Series compact excavators, the machine benefits from an optimised full-size operator cab, though retaining its zero-tail swing design. There are new footrests, providing additional clearance on the cab floor, while an increased number of air vents delivers improved ventilation and demisting capability. The main cab air conditioning components have been relocated to the upper rear spoiler, allowing zero-tail swing in the vertical axis and improved visibility.
Featuring a more advanced digital display screen, the cab is designed to increase operator comfort in all areas. There are additional storage compartments in the cab for stowage of personal items. New anti-theft technology makes it possible to avoid the use of a second key as an immobiliser, which will benefit rental companies with multiple users.
Service access
Though sporting a zero-tail swing design, to minimise the possibility of damage to the rear of the machine and to add versatility in operation, the CX38D has outstanding service accessibility, thanks to wide engine covers. In addition, the entire cab structure can be tilted forward, to provide easy access to major components for service and repair.
Service Solutions
All CASE mini excavators are supported by a full suite of CASE Service Solutions designed to maximise uptime and optimise performance, including the CASE Protect extended warranty and the CASE Care planned maintenance program. This program offers various durations and application coverage as well as payment options, significantly reducing the total cost of maintenance. These services can be combined with personalised services such as fluid sampling and periodic inspection, provided by expert technicians at CASE dealerships.
The new CX38D comes equipped with an integrated telematics module, enabling real-time data transmission and smart alerts for dealers, customers and operators. This connectivity gives everyone useful insights into machine performance and health.
CASE employs artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to ensure uptime and enhance productivity.
For CASE dealers, this means complete visibility and remote access to machine status. Alerts, reminders, and notifications help them proactively address customer needs. If a potential issue is detected, an alert is sent to the CASE dealer with specific recommendations and actions to resolve problems before they escalate.
On the customer side, CASE offers myCASEConstruction, a dedicated app and portal that goes beyond traditional fleet management. More than just a tracking tool, it provides a centralized platform for accessing machine insights, managing jobsites, and reviewing performance reports, enabling smarter decisions and greater control over operating costs.
Market appeal
With the addition of the CX38D, along with the smaller CX35D and the popular CX30D, CASE Construction Equipment has a compact crawler excavator to suit every application, across all industry sectors. The power, lifting and digging capability of a 4-tonne machine, meeting Stage V emissions standards with no requirement for after-treatment, is a winning combination. Whatever the job site or the specific application, CASE has a compact excavator to meet all customer demands.
