Case to introduce compact electric wheel loader and excavator

In addition to its recently announced 580EV electric backhoe, Case will also make two more EV models available in the coming months. 

The Case CX25EV electric mini excavator and the CL36EV electric compact wheel loader will round out the CASE EV lineup for a total of five machines. 

The two new machines join the 580EV, the CX15EV electric mini excavator and the SL22EV small articulated loader. 

“These new machines set a new benchmark in electrification and sustainable construction, and they’re a testament to our customer-centered approach to practical innovation as we expand our product portfolio,” said Terry Dolan, Vice President, North America for Case Construction Equipment. 

“Complementing our diesel lineup, electrification brings real-world solutions to unique jobsite demands, helping urban construction contractors, utility teams, municipal crews and other contractors further improve productivity, efficiency and their bottom line.”

Case CX25EV

The 2.5-tonne CX25EV is a bigger, more powerful version of Case’s existing electric mini excavator. The CX25EV delivers emissions-free performance that is ideal for urban and infrastructure sites with high traffic.

The machine includes hydraulic flow settings and up to three auxiliary circuits that can be paired with a variety of quick couplers and attachments.

It’s also equipped with electrohydraulic controls and a short-radius design, making it easy to manoeuvrer in tight spaces. 

CL36EV

The 3.6-tonne Case CL36EV electric compact wheel loader delivers the same power and performance as a diesel-powered loader of a comparable size, along with simplified maintenance and lower lifetime total cost of ownership. 

The compact loader can be matched with a full range of attachments and features a hinge-pin height of more than 3 metres, making it an ideal solution for supply yards, large-scale building renovations or projects where indoor operation is required. 

The new machines complement the Case portfolio of diesel machines by giving crews more ways to get work done while also minimizing carbon footprints.  

“All of these new machines represent a new benchmark in electrification and sustainable construction, bringing practical solutions to unique demands on the jobsite,” said Brad Stemper, Product Management Lead, North America, Case.

“EVs are new specialized tools that add to the toolbox for unique job site challenges so that workers can get the job done right. It’s an exciting time for the industry, as advancements in electrification transform what we can achieve on the job.”
