The 695SV Construction King is a larger, more powerful backhoe with four directional wheels and the same size tires.
Case construction equipment is reclaiming the iconic “Construction King” name and launching five new backhoe models to the US market to provide more complete and diverse backhoe options to businesses in a wider spectrum of markets, including landscaping, rental, agriculture and public services.
Two models are available immediately: the Case Utility Plus and the Case 580SV Construction King center pivot. Three additional models will arrive at Case dealers later in 2023: the sideshift Case 580SV Construction King and two Case 695SV Construction King models, one center pivot and one sideshift.
“The Case backhoe was the original two-in-one machine, and 65 years later we’re experiencing workforce challenges and more diverse workplace needs, all with a focus on efficiency, which is driving a true revolution for backhoe market,” he said. George MacIntyre, Product Manager, Case Construction Equipment.
“Once the hero for the owner/operator, we now offer even more backhoe options that make these machines extremely attractive to companies that have trouble finding qualified operators and could benefit from lower costs of ownership and exploitation of having all this functionality in a single machine”.
The two new models now available in the US market, adding to the existing line of Case N Series backhoes, are the Case Utility Plus and the Case 580SV Construction King center pivot.
The new Case Utility Plus delivers full-size backhoe performance in an efficient platform that’s easy to own, easy to maintain and easy on the ground. This new 74hp machine offers a large cab with excellent sight lines to all work areas, extreme serviceability with a maintenance-free emissions system (DPF-free and DEF-free) and easy controls (including- there is a choice of pilot or mechanic). Mechanical controls are offered for more experienced operators who like that traditional backhoe “feel”, while pilot controls are available for rental companies and contractors with less experienced operators.
“You could call it an entry-level machine, but it performs and offers options like a full-size backhoe,” MacIntyre said. “We built it so you can focus on simplicity, ideal for rental and business applications where it’s not a daily production tool, but also committed to options like the Extendahoe and accessory performance through a one-way auxiliary hydraulic system on the dipper for companies that want to use this machine for more. It’s designed to be versatile and allow equipment owners to build from a simple base model.”
The new Case 580SV Construction King brings a tool carrier-style front end to the Case backhoe lineup in North America, ideal for businesses that use the loader end of their backhoe as a primary material handler—loading and unloading of pallets, mobile pipe. and other material grouped around the patio. Adding a 4-in-1 bucket, a 6-in-1 bucket, or any of the countless attachments available for Case backhoes make it a rugged, versatile jobsite solution, and a hydraulic quick coupler makes it easy. The new center pivot model is available immediately in the US market, and Case will launch a side shift model later in 2023.
“With 97 horsepower, the Case 580SV Construction King is a simple yet rugged addition to any backhoe fleet, and like the Utility Plus, can be optioned for a more premium backhoe experience with features like Extendahoe and Auto- Ride Control”. MacIntyre said.
The new sideshift model, available in late 2023, will offer even greater flexibility and performance on the workplace in tight spaces. The Case 580SV Construction King sideshift will feature in-line vertical stabilizers for offset digging and work in applications where operators must face structures directly or take up less space (such as utility work in the road).
“The combination of in-line stabilizers and a side-to-side backhoe digging boom allows operators to stand directly against buildings and structures, and takes up even less space in applications in road with stabilizers that operate within the footprint of the machine.” said MacIntryre.
“With the introduction of these new machines, combined with our existing line of N-Series backhoes, we are offering a truly diverse portfolio of backhoe machines for contractors and businesses of all sizes in North America.”
More variety and versatility will arrive in the US market in 2023
Later this year, Case will introduce two Case 695SV Construction King models: a center pivot model and a side shift model.
The 695SV Construction King is a larger, more powerful backhoe with four directional wheels and the same size tires. Four-wheel steering and large tires make it an ideal machine for loading operations, while offering the versatility to change loader and backhoe attachments. It also features parallel lift tool carrier style loading arms for more intensive material handling operations.
“It’s perfect for municipalities and larger construction sites that need to efficiently perform loader and backhoe operations,” said MacIntyre. “As these new models hit the market, Case will have one of the largest and most diverse backhoe offerings in the industry, all supported by a dealer network spanning North America that has more backhoe experience than anyone else.”
The release timing for the 695SV Construction King models will be shared later in 2023.
