It's Dangerous Out There Case Fuel efficiency boosted ALWAYS BE SAFE Whether you work off the road or over the road, Bridgestone wants you to make safety your first concern. Maintaining a safe workplace and reinforcing safety rules contributes to a more productive operation and reduces costs. If you need a better reason, it saves lives. Case Construction Equipment's new 521F wheel loader, introduced at World of Concrete, provides a 12-percent increase in fuel efficiency from the previous E-Series model. The machine is available in standard Z-bar, extended reach and tool-carrier models. Case chose selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology for the 521F to meet Tier 4 Interim emissions standards based on the machine's application tasks and power demands. The wheel loader offers optional heavy-duty axles with auto-locking front and open rear differentials. On a 50-meter loading and dumping cycle, Case estimates the 521F wheel loader can make up to 56 cycles per hour, moving up to 144 cubic yards or 212 tons of material per hour. www.case.com Putzmeister LESSONS IN SAFETY Programmable control system There is simply nothing more important than starting your shift safely and getting your people home without harm.
