Case launches nine Alpha series skid steers

March 7, 2011 – Case Construction Equipment has introduced nine models in its new Alpha Series line of skid steers. The new Case machines deliver best-in-class horsepower and breakout force.

The engines in the new Alpha Series skid steers range from 46 horsepower (34 kilowatts) to 90 horsepower (67 kilowatts), with rated operating capacities ranging from 1,300 pounds (590 kilograms) in the new class-size SR130, to 3,000 pounds (1360 kilograms) in the SV300.

The Alpha Series includes both radial-lift and vertical-lift models. The radial lift machines (designated with an R in the model name), are engineered for digging, prying and pushing, while the vertical lift models (designated with a V), excel on lift-and-carry applications. The Case Alpha Series includes six radial-lift skid steers: the SR130, SR150, SR175, SR200, SR220 and SR250, and three vertical-lift models: the SV185, SV250 and SV300.

The Alpha series models also feature larger fuel tanks. Thanks to improved fuel efficiency and new 16- to 25.5-gallon (60.6- to 96.5-litre) fuel tanks, Case skids steers can easily run for eight to 10 hours without refueling.

The Case SR130 and SR150 skid steers are easy to transport with a trailer. Both models have an extremely low overall height, at 75 inches (190 centimetres); making it easier to clear overhead obstacles.
