“On the compact line we are working to expand the wide range of applications and customer requirements our compact equipment can meet, focusing on industry sectors.”

An example of this is Case’s equipment offering for waste and recycling applications, such as Case skid steer loaders tailored for this industry, with features such as protections, solid tyres, and pressurised cab.

At bauma Case has also launched two new Snow and Road Lines of plug-and-play attachments optimised to match the performance of its compact wheeled loaders and will continue to expand this offering.
