CASE CX235CSR Short Radius Excavator

Model Comparison Product Features Attachments Specifications

The CASE CX235C SR combines the muscle of a full-size excavator with the agility of a short-radius design. Powered by a Tier 3 ISUZU engine and advanced hydraulic control, it delivers strong breakout force, excellent fuel efficiency, and precise handling in confined spaces. This model is ideal for operators who need reliable performance, low noise, and maximum stability on urban and infrastructure projects where every centimetre counts. With fast cycle times, intuitive controls, and the strength to take on heavy lifting, the CX235C SR is built to excel on roadwork, bridge construction, bulk excavation, and large-scale civil projects. Its short swing radius and balanced weight distribution make it easy to dig, lift, and load in tight conditions, providing smooth, consistent power and precision across every application while keeping operating costs low and productivity high.

Product Features

Every component of the CX235C SR is designed for maximum productivity and long-term reliability. The reinforced undercarriage, high-grade steel construction, and advanced hydraulic system deliver the strength and durability needed for tough jobsite conditions. CASE’s Intelligent Hydraulic System (CIHS) automatically adjusts hydraulic output to match the workload, helping operators move more material faster while reducing fuel burn. The result is outstanding efficiency, lower operating costs, and consistent performance no matter the terrain or task. Operator comfort and visibility are just as refined. The ROPS/FOPS Level 2 cab provides a quiet, pressurised environment with automatic climate control, a multi-adjustable suspension seat, and intuitive, low-effort controls. A large, full-colour display provides access to diagnostics, fuel monitoring, and maintenance alerts, keeping you informed and in control at all times. Combined with smart design, reduced vibration, and automotive-grade finish, the CX235C SR gives operators a superior experience that translates directly into higher daily output and reduced fatigue.

Short Swing Radius

The CX145C SR is purpose built for jobs where every centimetre counts. Its short tail swing and compact upper frame allow safe and confident operation in narrow spaces, from roadside work and bridge construction to tight urban job sites. With precise balance and a powerful hydraulic system, it delivers full size digging capability without the risk of machine damage in confined areas.
