NEW EQUIPMENT NEWS
Designed for efficient and safe operation
CASE Construction Equipment South
Africa’s range of full-size F-series wheel
loaders has advanced features for
faster operation, higher productivity,
lower fuel consumption and improved
safety on site.
“The F-series wheel loaders, with
reduced emissions, also offer increased
power ratings, additional lifting capacity
and greater break-out force,” says Ross
Collard, managing director of CASE
Construction Equipment SA, part of
the Capital Equipment Group (CEG) of
Invicta Holdings Limited.
“Four models in the F-series are
available locally – the 621F, 821F, 921F
and 1021F machines – each designed for
efficient and safe operation in arduous
applications in diverse industries,
including construction, quarrying, mining
and waste handling.
“The robust F-series, with Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology
to meet the latest Tier 4 emissions
standards, offers increased power
ratings and fuel savings of up to 10%.
Fuel economy is increased further with
the standard engine shutdown feature,
which limits engine idle time.”
Case 621F, 821F and 921F models
have a 6.7ℓ engine and the 1021F
has an 8.7ℓ engine, all with high
horsepower and torque ratings that
deliver the exact power required for
each task. The standard four-speed
transmission, with a lock-up torque
converter for improved acceleration and
safe hill climbing, provides continuous
short cycles for fast performance and
high productivity. The POWERINCH
declutching feature ensures accuracy
and control when operating in tight
settings, especially during truck
loading.
A common-rail electronically-
controlled certified diesel engine gives
the operator four work modes to
choose from (economy, standard, auto
and maximum power) for optimum
efficiency in any application. Benefits
include better use of available power,
lower fuel consumption, reduced
wear on the engine and drive line,
lower noise levels and reduced overall
emissions.
CASE F-series wheel loaders
maintain precise control of oil
temperature in the axles to ensure
dependable operation. The cooling
module is now fitted higher in the
chassis for improved performance
and reduced running costs. This
system, with an auto or manual
reverse fan that clears dust and debris
from the radiator fin and maintains
temperatures at an optimum level for
extended component life.
An open differential on the
front and rear axles also prevents
overheating and a differential lock on
the front axles provides effective grip
control on any surface, particularly on
soft soil, where greater resistance is
needed.
Special solid, foam-filled tyres and
tyre chains can be fitted to cope with
demanding applications, for example,
the handling of scrapped materials
like iron, wood, glass, plastics and civil
organic waste.
The low vibration cab offers improved
operator comfort and optimum safety.
Advanced sound insulation materials and
the electronic injection engine ensure
reduced noise levels.
A low-effort, single-lever loader
control joystick incorporates a quick
shuttle switch for faster, more precise
operations. The operator chooses
the working mode from within the
cab, or the autopower facility can be
selected, in which case the power
curve is automatically matched to each
application. All controls have been
designed to be highly responsive to
commands and digital displays enable
clear readings in all lighting conditions.
For optimum safety and durability,
the cabs of these wheel loaders are
reinforced and ROPS certified, ensuring
operator protection against roll-over.
These machines also available with XR
(Extended Reach) linkage for a greater
dump height and versatility
Engine diagnostics are done inside the
cab, enabling quicker detection of service
needs. Maintenance is made easy with
a full raise-up hood, environmentally-safe
fluid drains, sight gauges and grouped,
ground-level checkpoints.
CASE construction equipment, which
includes backhoe loaders, compact
track loaders, excavators, telehandlers
and skid steers is supported by CASE
Construction Equipment SA’s national
technical advisory, maintenance and
spare parts service.
Four working modes
(max, economy, normal
and auto) allow the
operator to maximise
productivity and reduce
fuel consumption.
