With the arrival of the new 22 t excavator, CASE Construction SA is strongly confident of capturing a larger share of the market.

“Constituting about 20% of the annual excavator sales of about 3 850 units, the 20 t size class is an important segment of the market. Like any other manufacturer, it is critical for us, and a market of that size cannot be left untouched. The CX 220C LC Heavy Duty allows us to bite into that segment.”

Graham Forte, Divisional MD of CASE Construction Equipment South Africa
