Case Construction Equipment has expanded its mini excavator portfolio with three new diesel-powered D Series machines, plus one electric model.
The four new models are easy to transport, simple to use and equipped with features to give crews more flexibility on smaller projects and tight jobsites.
“Labour shortages, close-quarter environments, more stringent jobsite requirements — the challenges crews are up against today are more varied than ever,” said Terry Dolan, head of CNH Construction Brands, North America.
“Helping crews meet the demands of the modern worksite is what drives our practical approach to innovation, and it’s why we’ve focused heavily on enhancing our robust lineup of mini excavators to offer the most efficient solutions. These new models deliver big on power, but they’re also easier to transport, move around the jobsite, operate, maintain and own, compared to larger machines.”
The additions to the mini excavator lineup include the ultra-compact, 11.8-hp CX12D; the 18.4-hp CX19D; the electric, 32.3 kWh CX25EV and the heavy-duty, 59.4-hp CX60D. The new D Series models provide efficient, manoeuvrable solutions for projects like trenching, dirt moving, truck loading and site prep, as well as grading, foundation digging and land clearing.

All models feature zero or minimal tail swing and intuitive controls, making them easy to operate in tight spaces. Easy-to-access service points make them simple to maintain, and with two standard auxiliary hydraulic circuits and optional quick couplers to streamline attachment changes, these machines offer excellent attachment versatility, letting crews expand their tool set to take on more jobs.
CX12D mini excavator
At the smallest end of the range is the 1,330-kg CX12D mini excavator. The small machine features a simple, straightforward design that’s easy to service, control and transport without sacrificing attachment flexibility. Ideal for constricted environments, the CX12D offers a lighter footprint, can easily move through gates and around structures and works effectively in hard-to-reach places.
The cost-efficient CX12D offers a right-sized solution for smaller jobs, with low acquisition, operating costs and excellent fuel efficiency.
Case CX19D
For slightly larger tasks, the Case CX19D mini excavator, with an operating weight starting at 1,880 kg, delivers more power and efficiency in a compact footprint.
Available with a canopy or a heated cab, the ergonomic design and hydraulic controls make it comfortable to operate in a range of environments.
The mini excavator also offers more attachment flexibility with the ability to run specialized attachments like hammers, augers, compactors and tilt-rotators with work tools.
CX25EV
For crews facing unique jobsite requirements where noise or emissions need to be kept to a minimum, the 32.3 kWh CX25EV electric mini excavator, with an operating weight starting at 2,340 kg, delivers quiet and emissions-free performance. Originally announced in late 2024 as part of a broader Case EV launch, the CX25EV is now available, offering clean, low-noise operation and excellent control that is well-suited for close-quarters and sensitive environments.
This electric machine includes hydraulic flow settings and up to three auxiliary circuits that can be paired with a quick coupler and a variety of attachments.
The CX25EV is also equipped with electrohydraulic controls that are fully customizable to the operator’s taste for speed, ramp-up speed and smoothness, and the short-radius design makes it easy to move around in tight spaces.
The CX60D
For bigger jobs, the 5,970 kg, 6-tonne Case CX60D mini excavator offers powerful performance and versatility in a compact, fuel-efficient design.
The CX60D features a long arm, along with a thumb-ready design for use with an optional six-way blade for extra precise grading and levelling.
Operators can also enjoy greater comfort in the CX60D thanks to the modern and comfortable, automotive-style cab design. The cab incorporates features like auto heat and air conditioning, an air-suspension seat, all-around LED lights for better visibility and an LCD screen that provides customizable features and important operating and health data about the machine.
With the improved D Series mini excavator lineup, Case brings a bigger range of solutions at a more competitive price point than ever before to deliver strong value across a broad range of sizes and capabilities, including the existing CX42D and CX50D models.
“Helping crews get more done on the job, and helping contractors and rental houses grow their business is what drives our relentless focus on continuous improvement,” Dolan said. “With our expanded mini excavator lineup, we’re equipping teams with the most advanced technology, powerful performance and intuitive design so they can work more efficiently than ever before.”
