Case Construction Equipment Overview
#1
Introduction
Case Construction Equipment, a division of CNH Industrial, has a rich history dating back to 1842 when Jerome Increase Case founded the company in Racine, Wisconsin. Initially producing threshing machines, Case evolved into a global manufacturer of construction and agricultural machinery. Case equipment, particularly its skid steers, backhoes, and excavators, has earned a reputation for durability, versatility, and operator-friendly design. The brand has been a staple on construction sites worldwide, with thousands of machines sold annually.
Key Equipment Features
  • Skid Steer Loaders: Compact, agile, and highly maneuverable, Case skid steers are designed for tight job sites. Features include vertical lift path options, hydraulic quick couplers, and rated operating capacities from 1,000 to 2,200 pounds depending on model.
  • Backhoe Loaders: Combining a loader and backhoe in one machine, Case backhoes offer dig depths up to 17 feet, loader bucket capacities of 1.0 to 1.2 cubic yards, and powerful hydraulic systems delivering up to 45 gallons per minute.
  • Excavators: Case excavators range from mini models at 3 tons to full-size 30-ton units. Key attributes include high breakout force, adjustable undercarriage width, and advanced hydraulic control systems for precision digging.
  • Wheel Loaders: Featuring Z-bar linkage designs, Case wheel loaders provide high breakout forces and excellent visibility. Standard operating weights range from 10,000 to 35,000 pounds.
Technological Advancements
Case integrates advanced telematics systems in many modern machines, allowing fleet managers to monitor fuel consumption, engine hours, and maintenance needs remotely. This technology improves uptime, reduces operating costs, and enhances overall site efficiency. Additionally, Case machines often feature operator comfort upgrades such as adjustable seats, intuitive joystick controls, and climate-controlled cabins.
Maintenance and Service
Routine maintenance is straightforward on Case machines, thanks to centralized service points and easily accessible components. Hydraulic filters, engine oil, and air filters are located to minimize downtime. Many models also incorporate diagnostic systems that alert operators to potential issues before they become critical. A well-maintained Case machine can operate reliably for over 10,000 hours in heavy-duty applications.
Market Presence and Legacy
Case has consistently ranked among the top global manufacturers in construction equipment sales. Its commitment to innovation, durability, and operator safety has created a loyal customer base. Many older Case machines, such as the 580 series backhoe loader, remain in active use decades after production, demonstrating the brand’s long-term value.
Conclusion
Case Construction Equipment combines a legacy of quality with modern technological innovations, making it a preferred choice for contractors worldwide. From compact skid steers to large excavators, the brand’s focus on performance, versatility, and serviceability ensures that operators can complete projects efficiently and safely. Case continues to influence industry standards, shaping the development of future construction machinery.
