CASE Construction Equipment has announced it is building on the success of its motor grader heritage, with the launch of the new D-series: 836D and 856D.
Described as boasting many of the comfort and productivity benefits launched with the previous C-Series machines, the D-Series models feature a low-profile ROPS/FOPS cab, while a reduced overall height facilitates easier transportation between sites.
There is a new touchscreen display, for all machine and maintenance info and to provide a monitor for the rear-view camera. The customisable screen is located on top of a redesigned front console. A second console to the right-hand side of the cab incorporates the ignition key, a new electronic hand throttle, cup holder, and USB charging ports. On the left-hand side there is a storage compartment featuring a rubber strap and net.
The new grader comes in both electro-hydraulic joystick controls or mechanical levers. Both machines come in standard with a heated and air-suspended seat. The electro-hydraulic system uses three-axis joysticks built into adjustable armrests.
Powered by a Stage V six-cylinder FPT diesel engine, with Hi-eSCR2 emissions technology, the CASE D-Series graders deliver a dual power curve, with automatic switching as higher transmission ratios are reached.
Compliant with HVO and other XTL synthetic fuels, the 6.7-litre diesel engine features a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCRoF) exhaust after-treatment system.
D-Series graders can be tailored to the application with a choice of different moldboard widths, moldboard extensions, an overload clutch, a five-tooth ripper, additional counterweights and LED working lights.
