CASE Construction Equipment presents a new range of skid steer loaders in a choice of nine models for use in diverse industries and applications.

Suitable for mining, construction, landscaping or agriculture, the new skid steer loaders range includes six radial-lift skid steers and three vertical-lift skid steers. The SR range includes the SR130 model with a rated operating capacity of 590kg, Case’s first skid steer in that size.

Designed to maximise productivity with best-in-class horsepower and breakout force, the new generation skid steers also deliver one of the widest and most comfortable cabs in the industry with improved stability and unmatched serviceability.

Case Construction Equipment Product Manager, Kevin Pritchard comments that the new skid steer loaders will deliver excellent power, comfort, stability and productivity in diverse applications and environments.

The six radial-lift skid steers include the SR130, SR150, SR175, SR200, SR220 and SR250 while the three vertical-lift models include the SV185, SV250 and SV300.
The SR models are engineered for powerful digging, prying and pushing and the SV models excel in lift-and-carry jobs.

The SR130 and SR150 are the economical, entry level skid steers that complement the Case mini excavator range, according to Kevin.

There are also three new Case Construction compact track loaders available including the TR270, TR320 and TV380.
