CASE CX490D Excavator  previewCASE CX490D Excavator
The CASE CX490D delivers serious power, precision, and reliability in the 50-tonne excavator class. Powered by a 9.8 litre ISUZU Stage V engine producing 270 kW (362 hp) and 1567 Nm of torque, it provides faster cycle times, smoother control, and exceptional digging strength. With CASE’s electronically controlled hydraulic pumps and advanced energy management system, the CX490D achieves up to 8 percent greater fuel efficiency than the previous generation while maintaining maximum breakout force and performance under load. Built for long-term durability, the CX490D features a reinforced boom and arm, redesigned undercarriage, and a one-slope frame that makes cleaning and maintenance easier. Heavy-duty components and CASE Intelligent Hydraulics deliver high productivity in quarrying, infrastructure, and large-scale civil works. With faster cycle speeds, reduced noise, and improved responsiveness, the CX490D is engineered to do more while consuming less.

Product Features

At the heart of the CX490D is CASE’s Intelligent Hydraulic System (CIHS), which continuously monitors load pressure through sensors to optimise power delivery. Five energy-saving functions including Boom Economy Control, Swing Relief Control, and Spool Stroke Control, automatically adjust flow and pressure for smoother, more efficient performance. Operators can choose between three working modes (A, H, and SP) or rely on Auto Power Boost for instant hydraulic pressure when tackling the toughest digging or lifting tasks. Operator comfort and safety are built into every detail. The ROPS and FOPS Level II cab is spacious, pressurised, and quiet, featuring a high-back air-suspension seat, fully adjustable workstation, and a large 7-inch LED monitor with real-time diagnostics. Improved air conditioning, low vibration levels, and optional rear and side-view cameras enhance visibility and comfort. Ground-level service points, 1,000-hour greasing intervals, and the standard refuelling pump with automatic cut-off make maintenance quick, safe, and simple.
