Clyde Excavation Ltd.

Clyde Excavation upgraded to the CASE CX145C excavator to cut downtime with extended 500-hour servicing intervals. This change boosted productivity, reduced costs, and improved operator comfort. Impressed by these benefits, the company plans further expansion with additional CASE equipment.

Adam Attfield, owner of Clyde Excavation Ltd, tackles demanding construction and forestry projects across Southland and Central Otago. With 15 years of mining experience in Australia, Adam took over Clyde Excavation, determined to raise standards in the local construction market.

Previously, Adam used a Sumitomo excavator but found frequent 250-hour servicing intervals significantly slowed productivity. Switching to the CASE CX145C excavator transformed operations with extended 500-hour service intervals, halving downtime and dramatically boosting efficiency. Adam valued the personalised support from MIMICO’s Daryl Highsted, who tailored the excavator setup to include a thumb operation directly from the boom, making tasks simpler and quicker.

The CX145C excels in tight forestry spaces due to its compact design yet remains robust enough for bigger projects. Its superior fuel efficiency, smooth operation, and exceptional comfort have made a noticeable difference during long hours onsite. Impressed with CASE’s performance, Adam is now expanding his fleet by adding a smaller CASE 1.9T excavator, aiming to further enhance his service offering. For Clyde Excavation, choosing the CASE CX145C has delivered greater productivity, reduced costs, and set the stage for continued growth.
