CASE
The 90-hp SR250 from CASE Construction Equipment offers a rated operating capacity of 2,500 lbs (2,700 lbs with optional counterweight), breakout force of 7,480 lbs and 24.2 gpm of standard auxiliary hydraulic flow (optional 37.6 gpm high flow, 35 gpm enhanced high flow). The SR250 is outfitted with a new EZ EH (electro-hydraulic) setup menu that features nine preset speed and control settings that can be adjusted on the fly. This allows the operator to match controls to their preference. A single rocker switch allows operators to switch between the CASE “H” operating pattern and ISO pattern controls. New handles with additional “feel points” improve controllability and feathering. The machine also features push-button ride control, hydraulic one-way self-leveling and two-speed ground drive. The SR250 offers one of the widest cabs in the industry at nearly 3 ft, says CASE. The cab is fully sealed and pressurized against noise, dust and fumes. For more information, visit www.casece.com.

Volvo
Featuring a unique single loader arm design, Volvo skid steer loaders deliver customers the superior loading performance and durability found in a traditional skid steer design, along with the improved visibility, safety and enhanced cab access of a side-entry machine. The robust design and reinforcement of a single loader arm provides reliability and effectively distributes the load. Without the horizontal cross member found on two-arm, vertical-lift machines, operators experience all-around visibility. The cab also features a large top window for improved visibility during truck loading. Excellent lifting characteristics make the Volvo C-Series ideal for truck loading and a wide range of material handling applications. Each model features good dump height and reach, along with powerful lift capacity — making Volvo skid steer loaders and compact track loaders highly efficient in repeated load-and-carry operations, says the company. Powerful engines deliver proven power and dependability. For more information, visit www.volvoce.com.
