CASE Launches All-New B Series Compact Track Loaders
and Skid Steers
CASE Construction Equipment launched its next generation
of compact track loaders (CTLs) and skid steers with the
introduction of the B Series - five CTLs and eight skid steers
spanning radial and vertical lift patterns, as well as numerous
horsepower and size classes to provide contractors with the
equipment choices best-suited to their operation.
B Series loaders feature a completely redesigned operator
interface, including new left- and right-hand posts (all models)
with simple ignition, push-button operation, easy throttle
control and intuitive switches for all core machine functions.
Contractors may choose between standard mechanical,
mechanical hand-and-foot, and electro-hydraulic controls when specifying a machine.
A multi-function display comes with all electro-hydraulic models - and can be added to
mechanical configurations for use with the backup camera and operational displays. Electrohydraulic models provide the additional simplicity of switching between ISO and H operating
patterns with the simple push of a button.
The new eight-inch LCD multi-function display serves as the command center for the machine.
It includes the industry's only backup camera visible in a split screen display with machine data.
Operational in both forward and reverse, the camera enhances the B Series' industry-leading
visibility with even greater job-site perspective and awareness.
It also provides operators with the most fully functioned operator experience ever found in a
CASE CTL or skid steer, including new:
* Electro-Hydraulic Control Performance allows operators to set total machine responsiveness
to low, moderate or aggressive, or independently set tilt, lift and drive speed, as well as loader
arm and drive control, to best meet the demands of the job.
* "Creep Speed" Capability allows the operator to set machine speed at a consistent/slow
"creep" while independently setting attachment speed via the throttle for optimal use of
high-capacity hydraulic attachments, such as cold planers and brooms.
* Operator Profiles can be stored and recalled to match either individual operator preference
or job types.
* Economy Mode and Engine Protection Settings extend the life and performance of the
engine, battery and other critical systems.
* Automotive-Style Information Display provides fleet managers and operators greater insight
into machine performance.
* New and Improved Fault Codes and Troubleshooting, with descriptive text, help better
identify specific machine issues through and make it easier to communicate with the dealer
to determine next steps, if necessary.
Industry-leading, 360-degree visibility comes from the low entry threshold and large front window,
to the front of the machine and down to the attachment. Large side windows and a large curved rear
window allow for great sightlines to the sides and the rear of the machine. Rear visibility is further aided
by low-profile rear hoods, and an extremely low-profile H-Link on vertical-lift models that doesn't
impede visibility to the rear, compared with select competitive equipment.
All B Series models (except the SR160B) feature a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) design with
a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) that requires no fluids or lifetime filter maintenance. The other option is
a CEGR design with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment (on 90 horsepower units) that also
requires no lifetime filter maintenance but does require filling with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), as needed. *

Dynamic Modifiers

Dynamic Modifiers LLC, a specialty polyolefin
polymer compounder, introduced a state-of-theart, non-halogenated compound for demanding
industrial and commercial uses.
The new PAL VersaCHAR compound is also on
the leading edge of the flame-retardant market.
Flame causes char bodies to rapidly form on the
compound surface, protecting against additional
flame and delaying heat transfer. It's been tested
to 1,950 degrees C, with no polymer flaming drips,
and has passed ASTM E84 (Class A) with a 15/10
rating, including "clean" smoke generation of only
2.3 percent of allowable ASTM smoke limits.
In addition, the compound is lightweight, at 1.0
specific gravity; 100 percent non-toxic in every
respect, including heavy metals, halogens or VOCs;
fully sustainable; and LEED capable. Other properties include, excellent cold crack performance, hydrophobic, printable, extreme chemical resistance
and customizable for specific needs, such as UV or
antimicrobial uses as volume warrants.
PAL VersaCHAR compound can be produced
as a flexible film, sheet, coated fabric, molded to
shape or over-molded to most materials, including
metal for corrosion resistance. As a polymeric
compound, it can be cast or calendered.
Typical durometers from 80-99A, for flexible up
to highly rigid formats, are practical. Separately, an
adhesive was created that bonds to many surfaces.
In evaluations of two laminated plies of woven
carbon fiber and two plies of fiberglass fabrics, both
passed a 60-second vertical burn with no ply separation, distortion or flaming drips from the adhesive.

GF Piping Systems introduced Fuseal Fast-Lock,
a mechanical joint system for waste drainage
systems that significantly reduces installation
time and costs.
