A CASE of High Anticipation

Next week its time for the long-awaited final leg of the European CASE Roadshow tour as it pulls into the UK, at Middle Wild Park Farm, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 3BN.

Looking at the social media posts on the event, I am predicting a large attendance for the Roadshow, with a wide range of visitors coming along to take a look, including company owners, operators, journalists and the now usual scattering of 'social media influencers' also popping along too.

My memory drifts back to the last event I attended with CASE, during its Eagle Days campaign which took place at the Maltby coal mine facility back in 2019, that was a great event and not overwhelming numbers so plenty of opportunity to get “hands on” with the kit.

We are expecting to see a good variety of machines during the Roadshow, with larger E-Series excavators, both tracked and wheeled and even C-Series motor graders.

Personally, I’m looking forward to getting on board the new fully electric CX25EV 2.5-tonne class mini excavator. The machine is powered by a 32.3kWh battery which the company say can provide you with up to 8 hours of actual operating time. Charging with the standard on board charger overnight can take between 8 and 10 hours, but there is also an optional fast charge system that will top up the battery in around 1.5 to 2 hours.

We look forward to meeting up with old friends and colleagues at what promises to be a brilliant show.
