CASE Launches New 3-Ton Mini Excavators

RACINE, Wis. (June 17, 2026) — CASE Construction Equipment has launched three new D Series mini excavators in the 3-ton class engineered for compact performance and jobsite versatility: the CX30D, CX34D and CX38D.

Previewed during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, these power-packed machines offer a balance of muscle, precision and attachment compatibility for efficient work in tight quarters. With a compact zero tail-swing design, operators can work up close against walls, near structures or around hazards with confidence, improving productivity on any jobsite.

Operator-First Functionality

The new CASE 3-ton mini excavators combine business-class comfort with no-nonsense performance. Built with operators in mind, the automotive-style cab with ergonomic controls, suspension seat and all-around visibility elevate the operator experience and jobsite awareness. Conveniently placed access panels and a tilting cab also make daily and preventative maintenance easier.

 

More Standard Features

Each new model is equipped with different standard features to meet varying operational demands. The CX38D has a long arm with a thumb bracket, hydraulic auxiliary flow control and electronic throttle control with auto idle for smoother, more efficient operation. Both the CX30D and CX38D models include a lights package for better visibility in low-light scenarios. A two-piece roll-up front window, included on all three models with the cab, also provides excellent operator visibility and easier communication on the jobsite.

 

Attachment Compatibility

Adaptability is central to the design of these new mini excavators. Compatible with attachments for digging, trenching, dirt moving, vegetation management and more, these machines can transform for any job. An optional six-way dozer blade is available for the CX38D that makes grading and backfilling a breeze. In addition, operators can easily swap attachments with multifunction one- and two-way hydraulics and a second two-way auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Plus, an optional third hydraulic circuit and a constant-flow circuit enable the use of power-hungry attachments for more specialized tasks. For added convenience, a hydraulic pin grabber coupler provision comes standard on all three models, allowing operators to quickly swap attachments as needed.
