CASE Construction Equipment (CASE) is filling the gap between its compact and medium-size wheeled loaders with the launch of the 421G. With an operating weight of 8,970kg, the machine has been designed to work with a 1.5m3 standard bucket or a 1.7m3 light-material bucket.
Powered by a 3.6-litre FPT turbocharged diesel engine, the 421G boasts a rated power of 72kW (97hp) and a peak power of 84kW (112hp) at 2,000rpm—a strong 453Nm of torque backs this. The engine utilises FPT’s proven SCR-T after-treatment system to minimise emissions. The machine is equipped as standard with an ECO operating mode and cruise control to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
The EU Stage V engine drives through a two-speed ‘shift-on-fly’ hydrostatic transmission that seamlessly transitions between the two drive ranges. The transmission delivers a 40km/h maximum speed, with a 20 km/h speed limiter as an option. It has a creep setting as standard. The heavy-duty axles have a standard limited-slip differential front and rear and an optional 100% differential lock.
Though working within compact overall dimensions, the 421G has a straight tipping load with a standard bucket of 6,500kg and a full-turn tipping load of 5,500kg. When equipped with pallet forks, that full-turn tipping load is 4,200kg. Payload with forks is a competitive 3,360kg, and the lift arms have a hinge pin height on 17.5 R25 tyres of 3,707mm. With a bucket, the breakout force is 7,161kg. The machine has boom and bucket setting modes and a boom float as standard.
The 421G offers a comfortable cab with improved visibility over F-Series compact range machines. The lower front console provides an improved view of the bucket or attachment. The cab’s front and right-hand side have increased glazing. A secondary fully-opening right-hand door with a sliding window is standard, while external steps on the right are optional.
The cab delivers plenty of space for the operator, and the joystick and instrumentation are seat-mounted to ensure full visibility during operation. There is a colour display with a navigation encoder for machine operating data and the standard rear-view camera. Operators will also welcome the USB charging port and phone holder.
The closed-centre hydraulic system uses a variable displacement pump with load sensing and flow sharing capabilities for easy combined movement of the lift arms and bucket tilt cylinder. High-flow hydraulics deliver a maximum flow of 125 litres/min with a maximum pressure of 220 bar, making this compact machine an ideal tool carrier for a range of powered attachments. The operator can also adjust hydraulic flow to suit the application.
The 421G is the first CASE wheel loader in the 100hp segment. It has been designed to deliver the performance and productivity that CASE customers have come to expect from the larger G-Series models. With a comfortable operator’s cab, powerful hydraulics, and strong lifting performance, the 421G is an ideal loader and tool carrier for various construction applications.
The new 421G is covered by CASE-connected and nonconnected after-sales solutions that ensure increased working without unexpected maintenance costs and downtime. CASE customers will benefit from connectivity that comes as standard with the 421G, tracking and fleet management tools allowing them to monitor their equipment remotely. CASE SiteConnect directly alerts dealers about machine performance and operating conditions, allowing proactive maintenance, quicker repairs, and preventive service.
In addition, the 421G benefits from CASE Care – a planned maintenance
programme with genuine parts, lubricants and qualified technicians, plus a range of services such as CASE Protect extended warranty and CASE Fluid Analysis to ensure uptime, avoid unexpected operating costs, and optimise profitability.
