NEW HAULERS, LOADERS AND MORE FROM CASE AT HILLHEAD 2007

At Hillhead 2007, Case Construction will be unveiling a completely new line of articulated dump trucks, as well as showing their strength in larger sized wheel loaders and the complete solutions they offer demolition contractors.

Products being exhibited include:

• CASE 340 ADT
• E-Series Wheel Loaders – 921E, 821E and 721EXT
• Demolition configured Excavators – CX800 and CX225SR
• Excavators – CX290B
• Compact Wheel Loaders – 221E

First Showing of New CASE ADT Line Up

Being exhibited for the first time in Europe, the CASE 340B is from the brand new series of four Tier III certified articulated dump trucks with payload capacities from 23,000 kg up to 36,000 kg.

The largest model, the Case 340B with an engine, transmission, and hydraulics maximised to deliver the benefits of Tier III common rail engine technology, is able to handle payloads of up to 36 t. effortlessly in the toughest of ground conditions.

All models in the series incorporate various Case exclusives such as lift cylinders internally mounted within the rear frame for maximum protection from damage; an integrated differential mounted directly to the transmission maximizing power to the wheels; a long sloping front hood combined with floor to ceiling glass doors to provide superior job site visibility and swing out fenders and tilting cabs to make maintenance and servicing easy.

The cab again sets new standards in comfort and safety. Improved productivity is made possible by giving the operator a fully adjustable seat, controls positioned for convenience, all round-visibility in a clean, quiet, dust-free environment. Analogue gauges are easy to read in all light conditions.

Servicing has been made easier with Case exclusive swing out fenders, a cab that tilts 51º to provide access to key service areas. Features such as hydraulic and fluid sight gauges visible at ground level also facilitate faster daily service checks.

The CASE B Series ADTs are designed for operating efficiency. A maximum travel speed of 46 km/h, an 11 second dump body raise and 13 second lower make for faster cycle times A 68º tipping angle ensure clean, smooth, controlled tipping of material from the ribless load body.

All models have excellent climbing ability. The 340B is able to manage 60% (27º) gradients. Steering articulation in ± 45º for excellent manoeuvrability. Rear axle oscillation ensures smoother travel over rough ground for better material retention and less spillage. The cab is resiliently mounted to isolate the operator for reduced vibrations, smoother ride and better control of the truck.

Model	Engine	Heaped Capacity	Rated Payload
327B	224 kW	14.5 cu. m.	23 200 kg
330B	284 kW	17.6 cu. m.	28 160 kg
335B	284 kW	20.0 cu. m.	31 500 kg
340B	318 kW	22.0 cu. m.	36 000 kg

CASE E-Series Wheel Loaders Get Customers' Thumbs Up

Since being launched at the beginning of the year, dealers throughout the UK and Ireland are reporting a positive feedback from customers. Already machines are working in many demanding applications.

With the introduction of the 721E, 821E and 921E wheel loaders, CASE has once again demonstrated why they are a popular choice in construction, quarrying and material handling applications.

For major quarrying and material handling applications, the 921E and the 821E have both the power and load capability to provide highly efficient loading performance.

With an operating weight of 22,962 kg, engine rating of 212 kW and bucket capacity up to 4.60 m³, the 921E has the power and capacity for demanding applications. The Z-bar linkage gives full power lifting to a dump height of over 3 m in just 6 seconds. A breakout force of up to 20,000 kg makes for aggressive penetration of difficult material for faster bucket loading.

Operating economy and efficiency is assured by a CASE Family IV 667TA/EED common rail electronically controlled Tier III certified diesel engine. This new engine gives the operator three power and three torque levels for optimum efficiency according to application needs.

In the E-Series wheel loaders, the engine is positioned more to the rear thereby acting as a counterweight for increased stability. This also enables the cooling modules to be positioned in the middle of the machine for greater protection and improved efficiency.

The 821E has an operating weight of 17,166 kg and Tier III engine rated at 159 kW with bucket capacity up to 3.30 m³.

The 721EXT is from the same series but configured as a tool carrier which provides parallel lifting throughout the lift cycle and the ability to quickly switch attachments from buckets to blades, brooms, grabs, pallet forks and many more. This configuration is ideal for material handling operations where versatility is important or as a support tool in larger operations. The 721EXT has a rating of 137 kW, operating weight of 14,650 kg and bucket capacities up to 2.70 m³.

CASE Gets Serious About Demolition
CASE excavators, for many years, have been recognized for their strength and durability, which makes them ideal for the rough, tough, demands of the demolition industry. It is not surprising therefore, that many contractors have asked CASE dealers for demolition packages.

And they are proving to meet expectations with both the largest excavator base machines as well as for smaller models. At Hillhead 2007, CASE Construction equipment is displaying the top of the range excavator, the CX800 equipped with a 40 m demolition arm fitted with VTN MT20 multiutility attachment and, for contrast, a CX225SR excavator equipped with a 15 m boom and VTN grab

Kevan Dowse, Marketing Responsible for Case Europe says,

“The demolition sector is extremely important to CASE and it is our objective to provide the best equipped machines for the applications. This not only means booms offering optimum reach for the base machine, but such features as titling cabs, extra counterweights, additional strengthening and reinforcing around the cab area and to the chassis, improved protection of hydraulic lines and cylinders, additional hydraulic pumps and more.

“Demolition is probably the most demanding application for excavators and for operators. The machine and operator have to be protected from falling debris. Manipulating a tool at over 40 m height calls for precision controls and hydraulic circuits that can cope with the extended reach demands.

“CASE is able to provide demolition contractors with a total solution including support machines such as skid steer loaders, wheeled tool carriers and loaders to aid clean up of rubble, material selection and loading into skips or trucks.”

Other Products for Variability

Hillhead 2007 also sees the CASE CX290B excavator with an operating weight of 29,100 kg, engine rating of 154 kW, maximum bucket capacity of 1.7 m³ and maximum digging reach of 11.16m. With a breakout force of 19020 daN, the CX290B is ideal for sand, gravel and other quarrying applications.

For restricted areas, smaller operations or where versatility is demanded, the CASE E-Series of compact wheel loaders are the solution. The 5419 kg Case 221E on show has a bucket capacity of up to1 m³, load capacity of over 5 t. and dump height of more than 3 m. However, the outstanding feature on the E-Series compact wheel loaders is that they are all highly versatile tool carriers. From within the cap, they can be quickly reconfigured from wheel loader work with pallet forks, grabs, sweepers, blades or any one of a wide range of attachments

Compact wheel loaders such as the 221E because they are so compact, highly manoeuvrable and versatile are ideal for working inside storage bays, warehouses, or wherever space is restricted. They are also the ideal complement to other primary equipment because they can be used for numerous support tasks.

Case Is There To Support Customers
Through a professional, highly motivated and integrated dealer network throughout the UK and Ireland, customers have ready access to products, support services, engineering and a range of CASE management tools to provide the best possible solution to specific customer needs. There are different service contracts, extended warranty options, finance packages plus attachments, parts and other essential services.
