The 268-horsepower, 83,114-pound unit is the newest addition to CASE’s robust excavator lineup. Rental companies can count on the CX380E to expand customer options for a dependable jobsite workhorse.
Power, performance and control
The CX380E is built for heavy-duty tasks, with 56,000 pounds of breakout force and fast cycle times. Operators can adjust the power to the task with four fuel-efficient work modes in a range up to 10 throttle settings: Super Power for the maximum possible power; Power for a hard-working mode suitable for daily operation; Eco for more fuel efficiency; and Lifting for maximum control during lifting and craning tasks. Eco mode lowers fuel consumption by up to 18 percent compared to previous models. In addition, Case telematics and software provide precise data to measure fuel usage and other metrics to further improve efficiency.
The CX380E offers advanced controls and customizable sensitivity settings so users can dial in responses exactly to their preferences for easier operation. The 10-inch touchscreen lets operators store settings for up to 10 attachments (one-way and two-way) on one screen, making it simple to change attachments in seconds at the touch of a button — instead of hours — while reducing the risk of downtime or damage from overloading the attachment.
The intelligent Hydraulic Flow Control Balance also makes the excavator even more responsive and efficient by customizing the priority of hydraulic flow used for movements like arm in and boom up as well as arm in and swinging.
For added control, the CX380E features selectable free swing functionality, giving operators more stability and improved safety with less fatigue when lifting and placing swinging loads, working on uneven terrain or loading trucks.
Operators can also work more confidently using the 270-degree camera which provides a bird’s-eye view via the display screen for improved visibility and safer operation, as well as setting up arm and swing preferences.
Operator-first cab comfort
Just as visibility and control support safer operation, the cab is designed to support the operator through long hours on the job site.
Maintenance and support
For maintenance and serviceability, the CX380E has advanced telematics, allowing dealers to run diagnostics and update software remotely without the need for an on-site service technician—saving time and money while promoting more uptime. In addition, the comprehensive Case ProCare heavy machine support program comes standard, with a 3-year/3,000-hour full machine factory warranty, plus 3-year/2,000-hour planned maintenance support and a 5-year advanced telematics subscription.
