Case 621E

Case 621E
The Case 621E wheel loader, the newest member of the E Series line, features an electronically controlled engine that provides increased efficiency. The fully electronic 6.7-litre Tier III-certified engine incorporates the new common-rail fuel-injection system which allows air and fuel to mix in nearly equal proportions for a cleaner burn.

Operators can match power and fuel economy to their application by choosing from among three power curves – max, standard and economy power – and four work modes – max, standard, economy and auto. For high-production activities such as aggregates operations that require high breakout force and fast cycling, the operator may choose to use maximum power at all times. For operations that involve hauling of lighter materials, economy mode will complete the task with the greatest fuel efficiency. In auto mode, the electronically controlled engine adjusts between power curves to move the maximum amount of material per gallon of fuel.

The Case 621E six-cylinder engine delivers 168 net horsepower. The model offers multiple idle settings to reduce fuel consumption. When the machine is idling, it will automatically reduce the engine rpm, from 900 in maximum to 600 in low idle.

Limited-slip axles are standard on the 621E. This automatically transfers power from the wheel that’s slipping to the wheel that’s gripping, improving traction and performance.

Floor-to-ceiling glass in the front, along with a sloping rear engine compartment, gives the operator a panoramic view, with maximum visibility both forward and to the rear. The newly designed counterweight conforms to the rear of the machine, providing both added ballast and excellent clearance.

The Case 621E is also available in XT (tool carrier) and XR (extended reach) configurations.
