Case introduced its new SR270 and SV300 skid steers at the 2015 World of Concrete. These Tier 4 Final models feature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, an after-treatment system that lowers exhaust temperatures and does not require unproductive fuel use associated with burning off particulate matter.
SCR technology offers a significant reduction in fuel use compared to systems with DPFs (diesel particulate filters), Case points out. Additionally, the SCR solution is designed to be more efficient and require less maintenance than DPFs, as it does not require filter replacement or upkeep. It also removes complexity for operators and maintenance staff by eliminating regeneration associated with DPFs.
The SR270 is a radial-lift machine with a rated operating capacity of 2,700 pounds at 90 hp, whereas the SV300 (pictured) is a vertical-lift machine. Other key features of these skid steers include:
- Weigh in at 8,117 (SR270) and 8,655 (SV300) pounds
- Torque of 282 foot-pounds
- Bucket breakout force up to 8,776 pounds
- Standard 24.2-gpm and 37.6-gpm high-flow auxiliary hydraulics for enhanced power and attachment versatility
- 25.5-gallon fuel tank extends runtimes and ensures that the machine can work the entire day without refueling, Case assures
