Case CX130C and CX160C excavators have been upgraded to Tier 4-Interim engines that increase fuel economy up to 8 percent and 5 percent, respectively, compared to B Series predecessors. Improvements in the units’ Intelligent Hydraulic System increase lift capacity by 4 percent in the CX130C and 2 percent in the CX160C; cycle time is reduced by 3 percent in the CX160C.
