CASE Construction Equipment is innovating to help construction crews and utility teams meet complex jobsite demands more efficiently and effectively with an expansive launch of new machines and technology updates. With enhancements to control and accuracy, maneuverability, versatility and power, CASE is bolstering its lineup with new machines and features that equip crews with the technology they need to take on more demanding jobsite challenges.
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 jobsite.
“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.”
New Compact Wheel Loader Drives Productivity for Big Range of Jobs
For teams who need a tough machine for heavy construction and flexibility for jobs like snow removal, loading trucks, moving aggregates or road maintenance in close quarters — the new 112-horsepower CASE
421G compact wheel loader provides a solution that’s in the sweet spot between muscle and versatility.
Based on a similar platform as the maneuverable 321F wheel loader, the 421G offers breakout forces of nearly 16,900 lbs., rivaling larger models, while also featuring a hydrostatic drive that enables attachments unavailable to larger machines. The streamlined design packs more punch and flexibility in a smaller package, making it a great fit for both accessing confined jobsites and heavy material handling.
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. And the hydrostatic transmission features shift-on-fly and auto-shift capabilities for seamless gear transitions and a smoother ride.
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 encoder, an in-display rear-view camera and a USB port and phone holder.
New EV Compact Wheel Loader Brings Emissions-Free Performance to Tough Jobs
Previewed in 2024, 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 high-power performance. Ideal for unique operating environments like green-credentialed projects or jobs in residential areas with noise restrictions, the CL36EV delivers the same power and performance as comparably sized diesel-powered loaders, along with simplified maintenance and 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 More Precise Control on Complex Jobs
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 and efficiently.
New Motor Grader Series Enhance Precision and 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 precise specifications.
In terms of build and performance, 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 jobsites 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 142 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. And the forward articulation joint makes it easy to maneuver around obstacles while also enabling a smoother ride, making it ideal for loading and stockpiling material, small-scale site prep and moving debris.
Updates to Compact Track Loaders and Small Skid Steer Loaders Boost Safety and Accuracy
For years, CASE B Series
compact track loaders and
skid steer loaders have been jobsite staples for construction contractors, utility teams and municipal crews. Doing everything from lifting and loading to trenching and grading in tight spaces, running hammers and forks to moving gravel in low-clearance areas, these versatile machines have seen it all. Now, the latest CASE upgrade is adding 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-leveling 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.
“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.”
