With a range of new products on display, Case explains how its graders and excavators can help operators all over the world across a range of sites and the most difficult terrains – from the start of a job to the finish.
Case Construction Equipment has launched SiteWatch, its new fleet management tool, at bauma 2013.
Through its ability to accurately measure operating performance customers can, according to Case, use SiteWatch to increase productivity, boost utilisation and keep on top of fleet maintenance issues. With programmed maintenance plans, the operator has the option of leaving the service and maintenance requirement to their Case dealer.
The new 16M3 motor grader from Caterpillar is an essential machine for building and maintaining mine haulage roads.
The grader has a 4.9m moldboard and an average operating weight of 32,411kg, making it a perfect size for operations using 136tonne or smaller trucks.
The 16M3 features a Cat C13 ACERT engine with the Cat Optimised Variable-Horsepower system, which provides net power ratings from 216-259kW.
Case’s newest grader, the C Series - specifically for the European market - is a sensitive machine for a delicate job. The 12.6tonne 836C and its larger 17tonne stablemate the 856C are made in Berlin and for European Tier 4 Final countries, including Israel, says Massimiliano Sala, Case’s construction equipment product manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Their grading is much more precise, meaning the machines are made more for finishing grading that requires exacting blade control,” he said.
