Video walk-around the Case WX175ESR

A close-up look at the Case WX175ESR wheeled excavator

Case Construction Equipment has reintroduced wheeled excavators in North America.

After a legacy that began with the purchase of Drott in the late 1960s and continued with the iconic Case 1085C Cruz-Air into the late 20th Century, the company is adding five models to the market. Diego Butzke, Case product manager, gives us a tour of the new WX175ESR, designed to reach tight urban job sites at speeds up to 25 mph.

Butzke pays special attention to the tiltrotator, boom, and attachment capabilities of the machine.
