Case CX490D Crawler Excavator

The CX490D benefits from the familiar 3 working mode system to match different customer needs.

A-Mode Grading, Lifting & Precision Work

H-Mode Best balance between productivity and fuel economy

SP-Mode Extra speed and power for the most demanding jobs that require maximum productivity

The new electronically controlled hydraulic pumps and a bigger main valve on the Case CX490D delivers faster cycle times.

Oil flow can be adjusted according to working needs, or increased smoothly whilst starting travel and boom down. As a result, the CX490D’s responsiveness to operation load is multiplied, resulting in cycle times up to 12% faster than the previous generation.

Case advanced energy management provides solid fuel saving opportunities and lower emissions, and helps to prolong the life of the machine. It consists of 5 energy saving controls:

• Torque Control Decreases main pump loads to prevent a drop in engine RPM, with improved sensitivity to control / monitor main pump loads.
• Boom Economy Mode (BEM) Increased fuel efficiency during boom lower and swing operations, like dump unloading.
• Swing Relief Control (SWC) Carefully manages the hydraulic power distribution in slewing operations to deliver the most efficient floe and pressure.
• Spool Stroke Control (SSC) Creates an automatic pressure adjustment during digging and levelling operations.
• Idle Functions The Auto Idle function lower engine RPM after 5 seconds of lever inactivity whatever the throttle position, while the Idle Shutdown function shuts the engine down after 3 minutes of inactivity. Both manually switchable.

• Maintenance free SCR and DOC-only solution.
• No Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or regeneration are required as no solid particles remain trapped into the system, resulting in maximum uptime and lower operating costs.
• High engine efficiency of the latest generation, electronically controlled, high pressure common rail with multi-injection engine ensures great performances and low fuel consumption.
• CASE adds a variable geometry turbo charger to increase exhaust gas recirculation efficiency without losing power.
• High AdBlue Autonomy with the large AdBlue tank (just 1 refill every 5 refuelling stops) and low additive consumption so that CASE customers will be able to work longer hours without pause.

• Superior cab structure with ample legroom for the operator.
• Fully adjustable workstation.
• New ergonomically designed high back seat with air-suspensions for excellent comfort.

• Wide, robust and comfortable steps for safe access to the top of the hood.
• Solid handrail for protection of the top of the hood.
• Non-slip plates and top hood cover are supported by 2 gas pistons and secured by 2 mechanical stops when open.
• A wide platform (up to 60cm) on top of the engine compartment to work safely on the engine box..
