The CX210E-S is said to be the ‘Essential’ alternative to the regular CX210E, retaining the performance, operator comfort, quality and reliability of the standard model, but with a ‘simplified offer at an increasingly competitive price point’.

The machine is powered by an identical FPT NEF6 Stage V diesel engine and uses a heavy-duty version of the lower frame, with an LC undercarriage with reinforced components. The track frames have a single-track guide, and triple grouser steel shoes are available in 600mm heavy-duty, or 700mm widths.

Case added that the excavators also feature a heavy-duty monoboom and a single, equally heavy-duty 2.94m dipper arm option.

The CX210E-S comes factory-fitted with a standard quick coupler circuit and high-flow multifunction auxiliary hydraulics, with a low-flow circuit also available for enhanced versatility with all kinds of attachments.

In addition to the above, the excavator includes a pneumatic and heated operator’s seat with suspended joystick consoles, 10’’ display with integrated A/C and five configurable buttons, a Bluetooth radio, an LED light package, and a FOPS Level 2 top guard.

The E-S model tips the scales around 500kg heavier than the CX210E, due to the heavy-duty build of its front-end equipment, lower structure and undercarriage, and it can be boosted by another 500kg by selecting an optional counterweight to better manage heavier attachments.

The CX210E-S will be launched in the first quarter of 2024.
