CASE launches new 3-ton mini excavators

CASE Construction Equipment has launched three new D Series mini excavators in the 3-ton class: the CX30D, CX34D, and CX38D. These machines are engineered for compact performance and jobsite versatility.

Previewed during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, these excavators offer a balance of power, precision, and attachment compatibility, making them suitable for efficient work in tight spaces. Their compact zero-tailswing design allows operators to work close to walls, structures, or hazards with confidence, enhancing productivity.

The new CASE 3-ton mini excavators combine comfort with performance. The automotive-style cab features ergonomic controls, a suspension seat, and excellent all-around visibility, improving the operator experience and jobsite awareness. Easily accessible panels and a tilting cab simplify daily and preventative maintenance.

Each new model is equipped with different standard features to meet various operational demands.

• CX38D: Long arm with a thumb bracket, hydraulic auxiliary flow control, and electronic throttle control with auto idle for smoother, more efficient operation.
• CX30D and CX38D: Industry-leading lights package for better visibility in low-light scenarios.
• All three models with the cab: Two-piece roll-up front window for excellent operator visibility and easier jobsite communication.

Adaptability is key to the design of these new mini excavators. They are compatible with attachments for digging, trenching, dirt moving, and vegetation management.

• An optional 6-way dozer blade is available for the CX38D, making grading and backfilling easier.
• Operators can easily swap attachments using multifunction one- and two-way hydraulics and a second two-way auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
• An optional third hydraulic circuit and a constant-flow circuit enable the use of power-hungry attachments for specialized tasks.
• A hydraulic pin grabber coupler provision comes standard on all three models, allowing quick attachment swaps.
