CASE Construction Equipment is filling the gap between its compact and
medium-size wheel loaders, with the launch of the 421G. With an operating
weight of 8,970kg, the machine has been designed to work with a 1.5m³
standard bucket, or a 1.7m³ light material bucket.
Power and Efficiency
Powered by a 3.6-litre FPT turbocharged diesel engine, the 421G boasts a rated
power of 72kW (97hp) and a peak power of 84kW (112hp) at 2,000rpm. This is
backed by a strong 453Nm of torque. The engine utilises FPT’s proven SCR-T after-
treatment system to minimise emissions and the machine is equipped as
standard with an ECO operating mode and with cruise control, to reduce fuel
consumption and emissions.
The EU Stage V engine drives through a two-speed ‘shift-on-fly’ hydrostatic
transmission, that provides a seamless transition between the two drive ranges,
delivering a 40km/h maximum speed with a 20 km/h speed limiter as an option
and the transmission has a creep setting as standard. The axles are heavy-duty,
with standard limited slip differential front and rear and an optional 100% differential
lock.
Exceptional Productivity in a Compact Package
Though working within compact overall dimensions, the 421G has a straight
tipping load with a standard bucket of 6,500kg, with a full turn tipping load of
5,500kg. When equipped with pallet forks, that full turn tipping load is 4,200kg.
Payload with forks is a competitive 3,360kg and the lift arms have a hinge pin
height on 17.5 R25 tyres of 3,707mm. With a bucket, the breakout force is
7,161kg. and the machine comes with boom and bucket setting modes and with
boom float as standard.
A Cab Designed for Maximum Operator Efficiency and Comfort
The 421G offers a comfortable cab with improved visibility over F-Series compact
range machines. The front console is lower, to provide an improved view of the
bucket or attachment. There is also increased glazing to both the front and the
right-hand side of the cab. A secondary fully-opening right-hand door with sliding
window, is standard, while external steps on the right are optional.
The cab delivers plenty of space for the operator and the joystick and instrumentation
are seat-mounted, to ensure full visibility during operation. There is a
colour display with navigation encoder, for machine operating data and for the
standard rear-view camera. Operators will also welcome the USB charging port
and phone holder.
Hydraulic Power for Attachment Compatibility
The closed centre hydraulic system uses a variable displacement pump with load
sensing and flow sharing capabilities for easy combined movement of the lift
arms and bucket tilt cylinder. High flow hydraulics deliver a maximum flow of
125 litres/min with a maximum pressure of 220bar, making this compact machine
an ideal tool carrier for a range of powered attachments. The operator can also adjust hydraulic flow to suit the application.
The 421G is the first CASE wheel loader in the 100hp segment and the machine
has been designed to deliver the performance and productivity that CASE
customers have come to expect from the larger G-Series models. With a comfortable
operator’s cab, powerful hydraulics and strong lifting performance, the 421G
is an ideal loader and tool carrier for a host of construction applications.
CASE Service Solutions
The new 421G is covered by the complete range of CASE connected and nonconnected
after-sales solutions, that ensure increased working without unexpected
maintenance costs and downtime. CASE customers will benefit from
connectivity that comes as standard with the 421G, tracking and fleet management
tools allowing customers to remotely monitor their equipment in use. CASE
SiteConnect directly alerts dealers about machine performance and operating
conditions, allowing proactive maintenance, quicker repairs, as well as preventive
service.
In addition, the 421G benefits from CASE Care – a planned maintenance
programme with genuine parts, lubricants and qualified technicians, plus a range
of services such as CASE Protect extended warranty and CASE Fluid Analysis, to
ensure uptime and avoid unexpected operating costs and optimised profitability.
