When your construction vehicle fleet needs a compact and versatile loader, you can’t go wrong with our range of CASE B-Series skid steers. These incredibly versatile and adaptable loaders are designed to go where no other digger or earthmover can. Their skid steer ability allows them to fluently manoeuvre in confined spaces – without the need to cause any structural damage.
So, why would you need a skid steer in your construction fleet if you already have a backhoe loader? The answer is simple: Skid-steer loaders are designed with different applications in mind when compared to any other loader. They can be used as plant hire vehicles as well. Let’s have a closer look at our selection.
Skid-Steer Loaders: The Basic Elements
Skid steers share their unique design idea with backhoe loaders. In the case of a backhoe loader, such a machine is designed and built on a tractor chassis. With a skid-steer loader, this machine is built and designed on a forklift chassis. This means that the wheels are fixed and cannot change direction by means of a steering wheel.
Skid steers separate the left-side wheels and right-side wheels from each other to allow each side to rotate independently from each other. As a result, when the left side rotates backwards and the right side rotates forwards, the vehicle will turn left, and vice versa. Therefore, you have a construction loader that can turn on a dime and is perfect to operate in confined spaces with ease.
The CASE B-Series Skid-Steer Loader
When it comes to our selection of skid steers, our CASE B-Series delivers a definitive range to choose from. This range consists of 6 models – ranging from 2,3 t to 3,7 t operating weight. This allows you to pick the specific model to match your preferences and requirements. These machines are carefully counterbalanced as well to ensure optimal stability and lifting functionality.
The bucket at the front end of the vehicle is mounted on the rear end of the vehicle and operated with extended arms that run down the side of the vehicle. Skid steers can be off balance when loaded, which is why the B-Series is built and designed in this manner. This unique design ensures that the operator has complete control when driving with a fully loaded bucket.
Safety and Maintenance Solutions
The B-Series range of skid steers features large windows for the operator to have optimal visibility from the cabin. These vehicles are fitted with hydraulic systems to assist with fast cycle times as well. The cabin can tilt to provide access to the hydraulics and transmission components. These vehicles are also fitted with safety locking systems to ensure that the operator is safe and the moving parts on the vehicle are secured. This ensures that the cabin does not drop during operations.
