The Case CX490D is an excellent choice for contractors, construction companies, and anyone who demands top-quality equipment that can tackle tough jobs with ease.

Productivity

The Case CX490D is built for efficiency and power. With an improved hydraulic system that includes an electronically controlled hydraulic pump, a larger control valve, and solenoid valve, operators can achieve up to 9% faster cycle times and greater power. The Free-Swing feature allows for improved control when craning uneven loads, and the LED light package is perfect for working at night. The control pattern selector and power mode selector both come standard, making it easy to tailor the machine to the operator and application.

Fuel Efficiency

The CX490D features an SCR solution that lets the engine run at peak performance, providing full throttle response throughout the work cycle while meeting Tier 4 Final emissions regulations and providing up to 5% greater fuel efficiency. The system is simple to use, requiring only the addition of a small amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid during fill up.

Comfort and Visibility

Operators will appreciate the CX490D’s improved cab, which provides unmatched comfort and visibility. The air-ride seat is larger and designed to reduce pressure points, with adjustable features like fore/aft sliding, tilting, “lie-flat” reclining, and lumbar support. The innovative armrest design adjusts independently of the console, ensuring joysticks are always within reach. The pedals can also adjust ±22° to suit personal preference. The Bluetooth radio and climate control system add convenience, while the 7″ widescreen color monitor provides a constant rear camera view for increased awareness.

Serviceability

CASE understands the importance of durability and ease of maintenance. That’s why the CX490D features a standard oil sample port for quick visual checks of engine oil and hydraulic oil. Grouped service points, tilt-out coolers, and auto-locking side panels that stay open make routine maintenance a breeze. Handrails have also been added to make it easier to move around the machine. With the CX490D, operators can enjoy reliable performance and minimal downtime.
