The trailer-friendly 3-ton mini excavator combines compact performance, attachment versatility and low-maintenance design for rental fleets and their customers.
CASE Construction Equipment was named among the winners of the Rental Editor’s Choice Awards for its versatile new 3-ton CX30D mini excavator. The award from Rental — a leading source of industry insights for rental owners and managers — focuses on the hottest, most cutting-edge equipment and technology within the general equipment and tool rental space.
Recently introduced with the CX34D and CX38D as part of CASE’s 3-ton class mini excavator expansion, the CX30D model offers a practical balance of compact power, attachment versatility and owner-focused features. The Editor’s Choice selection highlights the appeal of the CX30D on both sides of the rental counter: an easy-to-maintain multipurpose machine that rental businesses can put to work across a wide customer base, and a capable excavator that contractors, landscapers and utility crews can trust on jobs big and small.
“Rental fleet owners need machines that are easy to transport, straightforward to operate and can hold up across a wide range of users and applications,” said Ryan Anderson, Product Manager at CASE Construction Equipment. “The CX30D was designed around those priorities, and this award is a strong validation of this mini excavator’s value in the field.”
Compact Size With Full Jobsite Capability
Built to work where space is limited, the CX30D pairs a compact footprint with a zero-tailswing design and swing boom that allow operators to work close to walls, structures and other obstacles with confidence. With an operating weight just over 7,100 pounds, this mobile workhorse is easy to haul from job to job.
The compact CX30D doesn’t compromise on power or capability. Equipped with a 24-horsepower Tier 4 Final-compliant engine, this machine can handle digging, trenching, grading and land clearing with ease. The dozer blade comes standard, while advanced boom and arm configurations are also available that can reach digging depths up to 9 ft. 3 in. The result is a machine built to give rental customers broad jobsite utility, from tight-access work to everyday digging and grading applications.
Attachment Versatility for a Wide Range of Work
Attachment versatility is central to the rental value and usability of the CX30D. Multifunction one- and two-way hydraulics and a second two-way auxiliary hydraulic circuit allow operators to quickly switch between attachments like trenchers, hammers, buckets and grapples for diverse tasks. Available third hydraulic and constant-flow circuits also support power-hungry attachments like mulchers for more specialized work.
With the added functionality, rental businesses can offer one machine for multiple applications, helping to serve a broader range of customers and improve utilization across the season.
Built for Confident Operation
The CX30D is designed with the operator in mind. An automotive-style cab with ergonomic controls, two-piece sliding window, a suspension seat and excellent all-around visibility help improve operator comfort and jobsite awareness, while a well-balanced undercarriage and load-sensing hydraulics provide steady operation. For added visibility, the machine also features an industry-leading LED light package to improve safety and productivity in low-light scenarios. Rental businesses can also tailor the machine for specific operating environments with optional features like an enclosed cab, air conditioning and radio.
Simple Maintenance and Connected Fleet Care
The CX30D is optimized for easy maintenance and uptime. Wide-open swing-out access panels, grouped ground-level service checkpoints, wide engine compartments and a tilting cab help limit downtime and simplify routine preventive maintenance. CASE also backs the CX30D with a two-year/3,000-hour full-machine limited warranty to provide greater peace of mind.
A MyCASEConstruction Telematics package with a seven-year data subscription comes standard to provide connected fleet management. The MyCASEConstruction self-service portal allows owners to track equipment location, monitor working status and predict maintenance needs across the entire fleet in one easy-to-use app. It also allows owners to protect their assets with geo-fencing and curfew features that help prevent theft and unauthorized use.
A Machine Matched for Real-World Rental Needs
The CX30D reflects what today’s rental market requires: equipment that’s easy to own, easy to move and ready to perform across different operators, applications and jobsite conditions. That practical flexibility helps rental businesses maximize investment while giving customers a dependable machine that fits the realities of day-to-day work.
