CASE will release six new small articulated loaders to help contractors of all sizes meet their toughest challenges on tight jobsites. With power ranges from 24 to 74 horsepower, operating capacity from 680kg to more than 1360 kg, options for diesel or fully electric, and a full range of more than 110 powerful attachments, CASE small articulated loaders will be some of the most versatile machines on the market.

Several CASE small articulated loaders, including the SL12TR model, feature a telescopic arm to provide an extra-long reach for loading trucks or moving material into tough-to-reach places. And where lifting capacity is a priority, CASE will offer more rugged models with traditional Z-bar loader linkage that can handle heavier loads.

CASE is also launching the all-electric SL22EV that delivers the same power as its diesel counterparts and can be fully charged in one hour. This electrified machine provides a low noise, zero-emissions solution for getting work done in a broader range of environments — whether it’s indoor work where air quality is paramount or a close-quarter residential neighbourhood where contractors need to keep noise levels down.

The new stand-on TL100 mini track loader will offer crews a powerful attachment platform in a compact, easy-to-manoeuvre and easy-to-transport machine. And the new line of six small articulated loaders, including a telescopic model and an all-electric model launching in early 2024, will give contractors a wide variety of options and power ranges to meet their challenges. Both product lines bring a new level of power and flexibility to small machines so contractors can tackle more jobs with less manual labour.

With an operating capacity of 450 kg and a super compact profile that can easily manoeuvre through yard gates, tree groves and other tight areas, the new TL100 mini track loader gives contractors a powerful, cost-effective option for upleveling productivity on small jobs.

The 24-horsepower machine also features a 14-pin electrical connector and a Common Industry Interface for maximum attachment flexibility and performance. With over 40 attachment options available, the TL100 can handle the work of multiple laborers on jobs like digging, earth moving, setting fence posts, grappling brush and grading.

The CASE TL100 comes with a lower cost of ownership than the typical machine, and thanks to its compact size, this stand-on machine is easy to transport from site to site, easy to get on and off, and causes minimal disruption to the ground. And the construction-grade build brings a new level of toughness and power to subcompact equipment, empowering crews to work more efficiently than ever with less manual work.
