CASE upgrades machine lineup with enhanced technology on five new machines

CASE Construction Equipment is building on its experience to help construction crews and utility teams meet complex job site demands with an expansive launch of new machines and technology updates. 

CASE is enhancing its machine lineup with two new compact wheel loaders, including an electric model, two new motor graders, and a new small articulated loader with a telescopic arm. The launch also includes upgrades to existing machines with new technology and options for dozers, compact track loaders, and skid-steer loaders that give operators more control, visibility, and comfort on the job site.

Features on the new compact wheel loaders 

The new 112-hp CASE 421G compact wheel loader can be used for flexible yet heavy construction jobs like snow removal, loading trucks, moving aggregates, or road maintenance in tight spaces. 

Based on a similar platform as the 321F wheel loader, the 421G offers forces of up to 16,900 lbs., while also featuring a hydrostatic drive that enables more attachments. The streamlined design makes it a good fit for accessing confined job sites and handling heavy materials. 

The hydraulic system with flow sharing and load sensing capabilities gives operators adjustable hydraulic flow and improves efficiency and overall fuel consumption. A high-flow hydraulic option is also available for crews who want to run special attachments like stump grinders or cold planers. The hydrostatic transmission features shift-on-fly and auto-shift capabilities for simple gear transitions. 

Operators can continue working safely and more comfortably with the new cab structure of the 421G, which features more glass and seat-mounted controls for better all-around visibility. The cab also includes modern essentials like a customizable color display with an encoder, an in-display rear-view camera, and a USB port and phone holder.

The new EV compact wheel loader brings emissions-free performance to jobs 

The 3.6-metric ton CASE CL36EV electric compact wheel loader is officially launching this year to give construction crews an emissions-free, low-noise solution for ample performance. Ideal for unique operating environments like green-credentialed projects or residential areas with noise restrictions, the CL36EV delivers simplified maintenance and a lower lifetime total cost of ownership.

This versatile machine can be matched with a full range of attachments and features a hinge-pin height of over 10 feet, making it an ideal solution for supply yards, large-scale building renovations, or projects where indoor operation is required. 

Upgraded dozers give operators precise control 

To help crews take on jobs with complex site plans more efficiently, CASE is upgrading all M Series dozer models with a range of advanced control technologies to enable more precise cuts, fills, and grades. CASE also enhanced the hydraulic and electrical systems for simplified servicing, uptime, and ease of use.

CASE M Series dozers are known for their industry-leading performance and drawbar pull ranging from 39,086 lbs. all the way up to 80,979 lbs., which lets operators move more dirt, more quickly on tough jobs. With the latest CASE updates, operators can also achieve pinpoint accuracy. Improved electrohydraulic controls and optional, factory-fit 2D/3D blade controls help operators boost accuracy and precision when grading, cutting, or filling to meet strict site plans more easily.  

New motor grader series with enhanced control 

CASE is also helping highway and street construction crews, municipal teams working in infrastructure, and utility contractors achieve enhanced control and accuracy in grading operations with the brand-new CASE D Series motor graders. Engineered to make precision road building easier and featuring intuitive electro-hydraulic controls with 3-axis joysticks and an informative 8-inch touchscreen display, these new machines offer a whole new dimension of control for operators who need to meet specifications.

The D Series motor graders leverage the same platform and drive system as their C Series counterparts to deliver the same outstanding performance. But a new in-cab layout with a range of improvements like a new keypad control and electronic handle throttle transforms the operator experience, while a new CASE SiteConnect modem enables advanced telematics to reduce downtime and service costs. Contractors can choose between two models: the 154-horsepower, 12.3-metric ton 836D or the 192-horsepower, 15.4-metric ton 856D motor grader, both of which are available with four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive options.

New small articulated loader gives operators more reach 

CASE's line of highly maneuverable small articulated loaders gives crews powerful material handling capabilities in crowded job sites with tight space requirements. With the latest launch, CASE is introducing a telescopic-boom version of the popular CASE SL27 model, giving operators extended reach with a hinge-pin height of 146 inches for taller stacking and offloading.

The 50-horsepower, 2.6-metric ton SL27 TR uses a skid-steer-style universal hydraulic coupler for excellent attachment versatility and quick attachment changes for buckets, trenchers, and more. The forward articulation joint makes it easy to move around obstacles, making it ideal for loading and stockpiling material, small-scale site prep, and moving debris.

Updates to compact loaders and small skid-steer loaders 

The upgrades on CASE B Series compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders add another layer of operator safety with new electronic features like rear object detection, which uses radar to detect potential hazards behind the machine. 

New upgrades to CASE compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders also include advanced technologies to make operation easier and minimize downtime. A new bi-directional self-levelling feature lets operators keep the bucket or fork level automatically when raising or lowering the boom. And when changing attachments, operators can now access an attachment display catalogue with simple instructions to make operation easier. CASE also incorporated an advanced processing and connectivity module (P&CM) and connectivity module (CM1X) for precise GPS data and SiteWatch telematics for tracking usage and maintenance.

"Jobsites for construction, utilities, and municipal crews are becoming more varied with more complicated requirements, whether it's tight operating spaces, exacting project specifications, or stringent regulations," says Terry Dolan, head of CNH Construction Brands, North America. 

"The ever-changing challenges of the construction industry is partly what drives our ingenuity-obsessed mindset, and it's why our latest round of innovations are focused on providing versatile, smart machines that make it easier to get more done." 

"Our drive to continuously improve our machines is based on the constantly changing needs we hear from our customers, and where we see the industry going next," says Dolan. "With the latest round of innovation, we're leveraging more advanced technology to deliver smarter machines that make construction contractors, utility teams, and municipal crews more precise, efficient, and productive on the job."
