Volvo vs. Case Excavators
#1
Introduction
Track-based excavators are critical in construction projects, and two major players dominate the market: Volvo and Case. Both have long-standing reputations for durability, performance, and innovation. Understanding their histories, product offerings, and key specifications helps contractors make informed choices for their specific operational needs.
Volvo Construction Equipment
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has origins dating back to 1832 in Sweden. Through mergers and acquisitions, including Bolinder-Munktell in 1950 and the formation of Volvo BM in 1973, Volvo CE became a global leader in construction machinery. By 1995, Volvo CE was a fully owned subsidiary of the Volvo Group, emphasizing innovation, safety, and sustainability.
Volvo excavators, such as the EC950F, are recognized for advanced hydraulics, fuel efficiency, and operator comfort. Features like the Volvo Co-Pilot system allow for precise guidance and real-time data analytics. Key strengths include:
  • Over 190 years of experience in construction equipment
  • Advanced technology, automation, and connectivity
  • Wide range of models for different applications
  • Ergonomic cabins and high operator comfort
  • Fuel-saving systems integrated into engine design
  • Extensive global dealer network and after-sales support
Case Construction Equipment
Case Construction Equipment, founded in 1842 in Wisconsin, USA, has a legacy in agricultural and industrial machinery. Its early innovations include portable steam engines, and after merging with New Holland in 1999 to form CNH Global, Case became a major construction equipment manufacturer under CNH Industrial.
Case excavators like the CX750D and CX350D are designed for durability, ease of maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. Core features include:
  • Over 180 years of experience in construction machinery
  • Durable, practical design with low operating costs
  • Wide range of models suitable for diverse construction tasks
  • Spacious cabins with intuitive controls
  • Competitive fuel efficiency
  • Strong dealer network and localized support
Performance and Productivity
  • Volvo excavators utilize advanced hydraulic systems for precise control and fast cycle times, boosting efficiency and output.
  • Case machines emphasize robust construction, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions over extended use.
Operator Comfort and Safety
  • Volvo cabins offer low noise, climate control, and high visibility, with ROPS/FOPS-certified safety systems.
  • Case cabins focus on intuitive controls, enhanced visibility, and stability systems to ensure operator safety.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Impact
  • Volvo engines incorporate intelligent fuel optimization, maintaining power while reducing consumption.
  • Case excavators balance fuel efficiency with operational performance, lowering both costs and environmental footprint.
After-Sales Support
  • Volvo provides global support for maintenance, parts, and training, accessible in nearly all operational regions.
  • Case offers a similarly robust network, with services adapted to local markets for fast, reliable support.
Conclusion
Choosing between Volvo and Case excavators depends on project needs and priorities. Volvo excels in advanced technology, automation, and sustainability, ideal for precision-demanding operations. Case offers durability, ease of maintenance, and cost efficiency, making it a reliable choice for standard heavy-duty applications. Both brands maintain strong innovation pipelines, ensuring longevity and competitiveness in the construction equipment industry.
