be increased, the load sensing system
reduces hydraulic flow. “Load sensing
hydraulics are sensed and flow is
adjusted to ensure adequate flow is
available to perform the task, ensuring
optimum hydraulic power at all times,”
explains Collard.
Brakes are oil bath cooled self-
adjusting, multi-discs with one circuit to
each side of the rear axle. This ensures
precise stopping power and extends
service life of components.
The orbital valve hydrostatic steering
is powered by a gear pump and provides
a steering angle of 48 degrees to both
sides. The turning radius is 7 250mm,
which enables the operator to perform
tasks efficiently in restricted areas, with
faster steering.
Safety and protection
The ROPS/FOPS feature offers maximum
safety and protection against roll over
and falling objects. Closed cabs are
mounted on the rear chassis, which
enables manoeuvring from the rear, as
well as direct control over the degree of
frame articulation.
The new design of this series is more
rounded, with an improved glassed-
in area that provides greater all-round
visibility. The spacious cab has redesigned
ergonomics for more space and improved
comfort. All controls are positioned for
easy access and fast control.
The 885B series grader mouldboard,
which is manufactured from score
resistant, high carbon content steel, is
shaped for material roll-off. The design
of this robust mouldboard, with a
multi-radius roll-away profile, minimises
mechanical load, ensures effortless
cutting, lower fuel consumption, and
extended component life. The blade circle
has an unrestricted 360-degree rotation
angle for optimum flexibility during
operation.
This series has been designed
for minimal downtime and reduced
maintenance requirements.
CASE Construction SA supports
its range of loaders, backhoe loaders,
excavators, telehandlers, skid steers,
and graders with a technical advisory
and maintenance service throughout the
country. Operator and mechanic training
is also provided.
MAXIMUM LEVELLING PERFORMANCE
Goscor Earth Moving (GEM), official distributor of SANY, has added the high-performance
SMG200 motor grader to its line-up.
GEM offers an excavator, front-end loader, grader, and roller line-up from SANY.
The SMG200 offers maximum power
and superior levelling performance,
without compromising on safety
and comfort. Another feature is that
the cabin has been optimised for
360-degree all-round visibility and easier
access to controls, enhancing operator
comfort and boosting productivity. The
cabin has also been engineered with a
75dB Silent Mode for noise cancellation.
A highly responsive load-sensing
hydraulic system ensures high-precision
motion control. The system regulates
the flow volume automatically according

to the load, conserving engine power
and reducing fuel consumption.
The robust Cummins QSC 8.3-
C205 Tier 3 engine delivers 205h.p.
maximum power, along with
significantly reduced fuel consumption
and carbon emissions. A smart fan-
cooling system conducts real-time
system-temperature monitoring. A
hydraulic motor controls the fan’s
rotating speed, lowering both power
consumption and noise.
The direct-drive power shift
transmission allows for smooth,
responsive shifting for added
manoeuvrability. Variable power
technology applies specific power
curves to various work conditions,
increasing engine fuel efficiency. Other
key specifications are a blade length
of 4.27m, an operating weight of 16
920kg, and an overall length of 8.89m.
What makes the SMG200 ideal for
arduous African operating conditions
is the durable exterior, with strong
slewing ring bearings providing added
strength for improved serviceability.
