Loaders, excavators to improve quarry operations

Case Construction Equipment and CNH Industrial Capital have a new lease program for Case D Series and E Series excavators that are 13 metric tons and larger. The new Case Power Lease program allows equipment owners in the U.S. and Canada to apply a credit for up to 300 unused hours at the end of a term toward the purchase of a new Case excavator that’s 13 metric tons or larger. According to Case, a Case Power Lease on full-size excavators delivers aggressive lease rates for 36 months/3,000 hours – plus a full machine warranty and all planned maintenance for the life of the lease. Another customer benefit is an additional 1 year/1,000 hours of powertrain warranty if the equipment is purchased at the end of the lease.

New loader ideal for high-volume applications

The HL985A wheel loader is the largest-capacity wheel loader Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas offers, featuring a standard bucket capacity of 9.1 cu. yd. The loader is ideal for use in high-production jobs such as quarrying, the company says. Considered a “true two-pass” wheel loader because it can fill an HA30 articulated dump truck with two bucket loads, Hyundai says the HL985A combines power, performance, fuel efficiency, operator safety and comfort. A 430-hp Cummins X12 Performance Series engine powers the wheel loader, meeting Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The HL985A is available with Hyundai’s All-Around View Monitoring system that includes four cameras that provide 360-degree views and incorporates motion detection for enhanced operator and jobsite safety.
