The CASE CX240B is a mid-sized hydraulic crawler excavator engineered for versatile earthmoving and construction applications. Powered by a turbocharged, Tier III-compliant 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 177 horsepower and 469 foot-pounds of torque at 1500 rpm, the machine delivers robust performance with fuel-efficient operation. The excavator offers dual boom configurations: the standard monoboom provides a maximum digging depth of 24.4 feet and cutting height of 33 feet, while the extended long-reach boom achieves impressive depths of 22.6 feet with extended reach capabilities up to 34.9 feet along the ground. The machine weighs approximately 55,120 pounds at operating capacity with bucket options ranging from 0.8 to 2.1 cubic yards, accommodating diverse excavation requirements. Its advanced hydraulic system features a 32.7 gallon-per-minute pump with multiple working modes—Auto, Heavy, and Super Power—delivering digging forces up to 7,700 decanewtons for optimal breakout performance. The swing mechanism operates at 10.7 rpm, enabling efficient positioning and cycle time reduction. Undercarriage specifications include 51 shoes per side with 8.5-foot track gauge, generating minimal ground pressure of 5.2 psi, suitable for soft ground operations. Maximum travel speed reaches 3.4 mph with drawbar pull of 45,254 pounds. The integrated cab features advanced controls, electronic diagnostics, and ergonomic design with climate control. Standard equipment includes sealed lubricated tracks, automatic air suspension seating, and hammer/shear compatibility options, making this excavator a professional-grade solution for demanding construction, mining, and infrastructure projects.
