CONEXPO LIVE: CASE
CASE Construction Equipment has launched its next generation of compact track loaders (CTL) and skid-steers with the introduction of the B-Series at this year's CONEXPO-CON/AGG show. The five CTL and nine skid-steer models span radial and vertical lift patterns, as well as numerous horsepower and size classes, giving operators the equipment choices best suited to their jobsite.
The new CASE B-Series skid-steer and compact track loaders feature a redesigned operator interface. Operators can also choose between mechanical and electro-hydraulic controls when specifying a machine. An all-new eight-inch LCD multi-function display with back-up camera comes with all electro-hydraulic models. In addition, the electro-hydraulic models provide the additional simplicity of switching between ISO and H operating patterns at the push of a button.
The new eight-inch LCD multi-function display serves as the command centre for the machine. It includes the industry’s only back-up camera visible in a split screen display with machine data, and provides operators with the most fully functioning operator experience ever found in a CASE CTL or skid-steer, including new electro-hydraulic control performance, new ‘Creep Speed’ capability, new operator profiles, new Economy mode and engine protection settings, sew automotive-style information display, and improved fault codes and troubleshooting.
The CASE B-Series provides either standard, high-flow or enhanced high-flow auxiliary hydraulics with pressures up to 276bar for running high-capacity hydraulic attachments such as cold planers and mulchers. All models also feature a connect under pressure manifold design that allows for quick and toolless removal of hydraulic lines. Additional optional features such as Ride Control and self-levelling further improve operator performance and efficiency. All B-Series models except the SR160B feature either a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) design with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) that requires no fluids or lifetime filter maintenance, or a CEGR design with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment (on 90 horsepower/67KW units) that requires no lifetime filter maintenance and just filling with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) as needed.
