Case Introduces Alpha Series Compact Track Loaders

Case Construction Equipment launched the new Alpha Series line of compact track loaders Tuesday, introducing three new models that deliver best-in-class horsepower and breakout force.

The new Case compact track loaders deliver 74 hp (55 kW) in the TR270 and 90 hp (67 kW) in both the TR320 and TV380. Rated operating capacities range from 2,700 lbs (1226 kg) to 4,200 lbs (1905 kg) with a counterweight. The Alpha Series models also offer exceptional hinge-pin height, which positions the bucket higher to load trucks faster and easier.

“With the new Alpha Series compact track loaders, Case continues its reputation for power and productivity,” said Curtis Goettel, Case marketing manager. “Our new compact track loaders deliver exceptional bucket breakout force — up to 8,585 lbs. All three models provide superior horsepower, giving you the muscle to get the job done faster.”

As in the earlier 400 Series 3 models, the new Case compact track loaders feature a dozer-style undercarriage, engineered to hold fast on steep slopes and take command of muddy or sandy terrain. The undercarriage has a rigid track frame with fewer moving parts, so it is more durable and easier to maintain than suspension track systems.

The Alpha Series includes two radial-lift models, the TR270 and TR320, and an all-new vertical-lift model, the TV380. The TV380 is a new class size to meet customer demand for a tracked version of the popular Case 465 skid steer. 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 new Case Alpha Series compact track loaders provide improved visibility, operator comfort, climate management and operator controls. To begin, the cabs are up to 25 percent larger — among the widest in the industry. They feature a revolutionary ultra-narrow wire side-screen design that improves operator visibility. Plus, the glass surface was increased to provide 360-degree visibility.

“Not only are the new Case compact track loader cabs 25 percent larger,” Goettel said, “but they also feature dozens of upgrades, including optional heated air-suspension seats, air conditioning, a removable door and side windows. These cabs are designed to keep operators comfortable throughout a long, hard workday.”

The Alpha Series cabs feature a new, improved climate management system. The sealed cab significantly reduces the amount of noise and dust. A new heating and air conditioning system creates a comfortable environment year-round. “The extra-comfortable Case cab environment helps operators be more productive, which ultimately improves the bottom line,” Goettel noted.

Case compact track loaders now offer standard two-speed travel and electro-hydraulic (EH) switchable controls. The Alpha Series models also feature larger fuel tanks. And the Alpha Series compact track loaders offer extreme versatility in dozens of applications. More than 70 attachments are available, including augers, rakes, grapples, pallet forks, brooms, dozer blades and hammers, to take on the toughest construction, landscaping and agricultural jobs.

Compact track loader operators can see and operate the new Case Alpha Series equipment at more than 700 Case dealers in North America. For additional compact track loader product specifications, customer testimonials, competitive comparisons, finance offers and more, please visit www.casece.com.
