Case Construction Equipment introduces three new F Series wheel loaders to European customers. The loaders offer faster acceleration, reduced cycle times, higher travel speeds and increased productivity, yet boast up to a 10% reduction in fuel consumption. The F Series loaders are powered by efficient Tier 4 interim diesel engines, with improved programmable power modes. An optional five-speed transmission further boosts fuel savings, while improvements to the cab environment reduce operator fatigue, increasing productivity.
Reduced Engine Emissions All three F Series loaders employ a 6.7 litre Tier 4 interim certified engine. Boasting increased horsepower and torque output, the engines use proven selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to meet emissions regulations. The Case four mode programmable power control - offering Economy, Standard, Auto and Max settings - has been upgraded, providing operators with increased flexibility when matching the engine output for each task. An optional five-speed transmission with a lock-up torque converter, open differential axles and advanced system programming, contributes to the outstanding reduction in fuel consumption.
Productivity Boost Limited slip differentials are standard in both front and rear axles, providing outstanding traction in all ground conditions. The standard four-speed transmission with manual kick-down setting allows maximum traction and bucket breakout during digging and loading operations.
Between loads, a dual-mode shutdown feature allows the operator to set and limit the time that the machine can idle, in five minute increments. With increased power and improved tractability, a major productivity boost comes from increased bucket capacities. The 921F takes Case into a new size class with its 3.6m³ standard bucket. With greater tipping load weight and increased bucket breakout force, the 921F has been designed primarily for aggregate stockpiling and high production truck loading duties, but is suitable for a wide range of industry sectors. The standard capacity for the smaller machines is 2.5m³ for the 721F and 3.25m³ for the 821F. The award-winning Case Joystick Steering system lets operators move seamlessly between the joystick and the steering wheel for high production operations, while the Case PowerInch feature assists the operator in tight loading areas, regardless of engine speed, providing full power to the loader arms and bucket cylinders.
Class-Leading Comfort The F Series cab offers an unobstructed view to both edges of the bucket or attachment, while a wide window and the sloping engine cover provide excellent visibility to the rear. A new wide-angle rear view camera with an adjustable colour monitor is available in all F Series loaders, eliminating blind spots for the operator. The standard advanced instrument cluster allows operators to adjust various machine functions from within the cab without relying on a service technician. Ergonomically placed controls and a new heated cloth seat with seven adjustment modes complete the cab improvements, ensuring that operators will stay comfortable and productive throughout the day.
Versatility As Standard Case offers a range of attachments for the F Series loaders to broaden their appeal in different market sectors. All three machines can be ordered with a standard Z-bar loader linkage or an XR long reach arm configuration. The 721F can also be configured with XT parallel lift arms for use as a tool carrier. Pallet forks, jib booms, sweepers and a full range of buckets are available, along with weigh loading systems for production applications.
