CASE Intelligent Hydraulic System (CIHS) reads continuously the load pressure through strategic sensors and like an ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR gives always and in real time the right balance for any type of job, providing solid fuel saving opportunities. It consists of 5 Energy Saving controls:

• Torque control decreases main pump loads to prevent a drop in engine rpm, with improved sensitivity to control.
• Boom Economy Control (BEC) increases fuel effi ciency during boom lower and swing operations.
• Swing Relief Control (SWC) carefully manages the hydraulic power distribution in slewing operations.
• Spool Stroke Control (SSC) creates an automatic pressure adjustment during digging and leveling operations.
• Idle functions: the Auto Idle function lowers engine rpm after 5 seconds of lever inactivity whatever the throttle position, while the Idle Shutdown function shuts the engine down after a pre-setted time of inactivity. Both are manually switchable.
• Hydraulically-driven cooling fan contributes to lower noise output and improvements in fuel consumption. The reversing mode helps to reduce maintenance needs.

Working modes easily adapt to every work load -

• A MODE for grading, lifting and precision work.
• H MODE the best balance between productivity and fuel economy.
• SP MODE extra speed and power for the most demanding jobs that require maximum productivity.
• Auto Power Boost automatically increases hydraulic pressure according to the operation’s demands.

The new boom and arm are Heavy Duty, more robust and reinforced in the more stressed areas, optimising the durability and the performances at the same time: the boom is average 8% lighter than the previous series. HD booms and arms are standard, to grant the maximum reliability also in the toughest applications.

• Increased productivity: extra lifting capacity thanks to the front attachment optimisation;
• Maximum efficiency: lighter, but stronger front attachment (more lifting, less fuel consumption);
• Higher resale value: re-designed attachment for more durability and less maintenance cost.

• Superior cab structure with ample legroom for the operator.
• Fully adjustable workstation.
• New ergonomically designed high back seat with air suspension for excellent comfort.
• Top class features include the 178 mm colour LED Monitor, bluetooth tuner and Radio, spacious storage compartment, 12v accessory plug, clipboard holder, mobile phone holder, warm and cool box, fuse box service connection, storage tray and ergonomic arm rest.
• Reinforced structure of the cab compliant with ROPS/FOPS requirements.
• Standard head protection approved to FOPS Level 2.
• Wide offering of optional front guards.
• Travel alarm for greater safety on the jobsite around the machine.
• Oustanding visibility with ample glazed surface, as well as side and rear view cameras.
• Soundproof pressurised cab
• The cushioning system lowers noise and vibration levels for the operator’s ultimate comfort.
