ELECTRIFYING CASE ROADSHOW RETURNS TO THE UK IN SEPTEMBER

CASE Construction Equipment is bringing its hugely popular machinery Roadshow to the UK. The event, which has already welcomed hundreds of customers and dealer partners at sites in Germany, Italy and France this year will take place at Wild Park Derbyshire, on September 14-15.

The CASE Roadshow provides existing and potential customers and equipment users with the opportunity to try a wide range of the company’s latest models in actual working conditions, including a first chance for many to see some of the firm’s 100% electric compact equipment. Keen operators will also be able to take part in the UK round of this year’s hotly-contested CASE Rodeo operator competition, putting their skills behind the controls to the test against the best in the business, in a series of exciting and technically challenging trials.

Equipment on show will include models from the recently introduced E-Series wheeled excavator line-up - WX140E and the WX160E. There will also be a chance to get behind the controls of the new C-Series grader, complete with its innovative electro-hydraulic systems that bring a new level of control to moldboard and machine steering operation.

A range of machines from the new D-Series mini excavator line-up, along with larger E-Series crawler models, will be available for customers to try. Providing a glimpse of a zero-emission future, customers will also be able to see the recently-announced CX25EV in action.

The second model in CASE’s growing full electric range of compact construction machinery, the CX25EV is equipped with a 25kW electric drive motor and a 32.5kW lithium-ion battery pack, among the most powerful in the class. The battery can be recharged in less than two hours, using an external rapid charger, providing full-day working autonomy in normal mini excavator use.

For those looking at heavier midi excavators, the latest CX75E, featuring a two-piece boom for added operating versatility, will be launched later this year. Benefitting from many of the ground-breaking features of its smaller CX65E stablemate, the 7.5-tonne machine has an Electronic Open Centre (EOC) hydraulic system, contributing to increased productivity and reduced emissions. With a wider undercarriage and longer boom and dipper combination, the CX75E delivers greater stability and increased digging performance.

CASE is not only working with battery electric drivelines in its future mini excavators, as it continues to embrace a commitment to carbon neutrality. The upcoming ePico compact wheel loader, which tips the scales at 3.6-tonnes and boasts a 0.5m3 bucket capacity, is powered by a 23kWh battery pack. With an optional off-board fast charger capable of recharging the battery in just one hour, the machine can deliver 3-6 hours of operating autonomy, depending on the job site.

There will be plenty of interest for business managers and owners less keen to take to the levers, with plenty of experts on hand to discuss the benefits of a wide range of CASE Connected Services. As part of the CASE Service Solutions range, these fleet management systems are designed to boost fleet productivity, profitability and uptime of CASE equipment and provide new levels of dealer support to customers.

“The CASE Roadshows take our machines to the customer, through tailored, localised events that provide a hands-on experience with dedicated field activities,” said Federico Bullo, Head of Europe, Construction Equipment CNH Industrial.

“We have recently celebrated having all of our dealer partners together for the European Dealer Convention and it has been great to see our customers again at our roadshows around Europe.”

The UK CASE Roadshow will take place on September 14-15 at Wild Park Derby, Middle Wild Park Farm, Brailsford, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 3BN.
