+Strengths

  • No DPF to regenerate on Tier 4 Final versions
  • Smooth hydraulics developed with Sumitomo
  • Usually priced below Cat and Komatsu
  • Factory-fitted machine control options

−Watch-outs

  • Lower resale value than the market leaders
  • Dealer density varies by region

Overview

The CASE CX210E is the 21-tonne model in CASE's E-series excavators, which are developed in partnership with Sumitomo of Japan. It is a mainstream general-construction machine that competes on value and ease of ownership.

Emissions without the hassle

In Tier 4 Final markets, the CX210E meets emissions rules using an Isuzu engine with cooled EGR and a diesel oxidation catalyst plus SCR, without a diesel particulate filter. That means no regeneration cycles and no DPF cleaning or replacement costs.

Performance and comfort

The hydraulics deliver strong lifting and fast cycle times, and the E-series cab is quieter and roomier than its predecessor. Several power modes let operators balance speed and fuel economy. CASE offers factory-integrated 2D and 3D machine control on its excavators.

Who it suits

Contractors and municipalities who want a strong, well-specified 20-tonne excavator at a lower price than the market leaders, with a local CASE dealer.

Alternatives

Compare with the Hitachi ZX210LC-7, Volvo EC220E and Caterpillar 320.
