Case Construction Equipment will showcase its full line of equipment and complete solutions for construction businesses at the second edition of the Bauma Conexpo Africa exhibition in Johannesburg, South Africa, from September 15 to 18.

More than 20,000 visitors from mostly South Africa and other Sub-Saharan African countries are expected to attend the event, where Case will line up its solutions comprising retail financing, expert service support and strong parts backup, in collaboration with its distributor CSE.

South Africa and other markets in the region through its strong dealer network.

Case, which operates under the umbrella of CNH Industrial, said it aims to raise its profile at the event in addition to creating awareness of the comprehensive support it is able to provide customers in

“The African continent offers great opportunities of growth,” said Andy Blandford, vice-president CNH Industrial Construction Equipment for Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

“The Maghreb region and Sub-Saharan Africa, and in particular South Africa are key markets for us. Bauma Conexpo Africa provides us with the perfect platform to meet our customers and show them how we are able to help them to get the job done and run their business effectively.

On show will be the Case skid steer loaders and backhoe loaders - both trademark products of the brand’s offering in African and Middle East markets.

Among them will be the new 570T backhoe loader, said Case, which has been specifically designed and engineered to match the requirements of customers in the region who look for a reliable and performing machine, and a fast return on their investment.

Case said this model shares the DNA of the long lineage of Case backhoe loaders, built on the company’s long history of industry firsts which include the world’s first factory-built tractor loader backhoe introduced in 1957. More than 600,000 units later, Case backhoe loaders are synonymous with performance, high lifting capacity, best digging depth, and great breakout forces.

The 570T runs a turbocharged, four-cylinder FPT Industrial S8000 Series engine that delivers a superior performance, high torque and best-in-class fuel economy. The S-shaped boom has been designed for premium digging and lifting performance, while its heavy-duty structure ensures strength and durability.

The Case 570T reaches deeper than any other backhoe loader in this segment - up to 5.58 m with the Extendahoe dipper version. Customers looking for maximum flexibility can count on the lifting hook welded to the bucket linkage when they need the rear arm to lift and handle suspended objects, a unique feature said Case. The front axle is designed to handle heavy-duty applications even in extreme conditions.
This highly productive package comes with superior comfort - the largest cab in the industry is ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable workstation with excellent all round visibility. The easy serviceability maximises uptime and productivity, while contributing to the low costs of operation.

Also on display will be the 821F wheel loader, which is particularly appreciated in the mining and quarrying industries. The F Series wheel loader delivers fast acceleration, fast cycle times, high travel speeds and productivity, together with reduced fuel consumption. The benefits that the F Series brings to construction businesses have led to these machines’ steadily growing success in the region, said Case.
Case B Series crawler excavators and graders have also been meeting with increasing success as the demand for these product lines has grown, especially in the East Africa markets.

The Case stand will display CX210B and CX290B crawler excavators on steel tracks. These strong, rugged machines are built for durability and performance, while the exceptional fuel efficiency and long service intervals result in low operating costs. Also at the stand will be an 885B grader, featuring a powerful engine, rugged A-frame and moldboard design, best-in-class serviceability and excellent visibility to deliver outstanding productivity on the hardest jobs.

Case’s wide offering for road building operations also includes another product developed specifically for the local markets - the Case 1107 DX vibratory soil compactor, which features a powerful four-cylinder water cooled turbocharged 105 hp engine that delivers excellent fuel efficiency and lengthens the operating life of the machine. With an operating weight between 11,300 kg and 12,300 kg, and two different vibration stages, the 1107 DX model offers high compaction performance.

The operator environment has been designed to enhance comfort and safe operation. Four steps provide easy access to the comfortable operator compartment. The two-post canopy structure enhances the front visibility, which is further improved to the rear by the sloping hood.

Daily maintenance is easy to carry out with easy access to all the service checkpoints from ground level. The best-in-class serviceability reduces downtime and operating costs, while resulting in more productivity and better profitability.

Case Construction Equipment, which sells and supports a full line of construction equipment around the world, said it provides expert sales and service support through its network of strong dealers, which covers effectively most of the major African markets and with the backing of the resources and organisation of CNH Industrial.
