CASE Unveils Upgrades To G Series Wheel Loaders At CONEXPO
CASE Construction Equipment recently gave attendees of CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 a preview of new and updated features coming to its G Series wheel loaders. Updates include an integrated onboard payload system, control customizations, improved telematics with remote diagnostics, and streamlined operating parameters.
What’s New
The new touchscreen display provides easy access to machine settings and operational data, while the color-coded arm rest buttons enable the operator to toggle between functions and displays while keeping their hands close to the controls. The payload system, integrated into the primary display, provides data such as bucket weight, pass counts, accumulated/running weight, job tracking, and more to allow operators to load trucks with precision and track the total volume of material moved over a period of time. Operators can also view history by customer, truck, or material and provide ticket histories.
“Wheel loaders are well-suited to incremental improvements in technology and operation that achieve considerable cost savings and productivity gains,” says Andrew Dargatz, product marketing manager, CASE. “The technology advances incorporated into G Series wheel loaders through the new operator interface simplify operation, streamline equipment reporting and maintenance activities, and give each operator more tools to improve overall performance and efficiency.”
Less Downtime
The updated technology package allows for two-way remote service and diagnostic capabilities to enable faster response to maintenance requests to lower the amount of time the machine spends idle.
“In the best-case scenario, the remote service personnel will be able to patch into the machine, clear the code and get the machine up and running without ever requiring a service tech to visit the site,” concludes Dargatz. “In other cases, the remote service tech will be able to identify the resources needed to make a repair without having to visit the site first, potentially saving trips and helping the customer to get up and running much quicker. That is the ultimate goal of the G Series wheel loader enhancements — provide operators with more productive uptime, and to perform their work more efficiently.”
