Case Unveils 30 Metric Ton 1221E Model Wheel Loader

At the 2008 CONEXPO-CON/AGG show, Case Construction Equipment announces the expansion of its E Series wheel loader line with the addition of the 1221E wheel loader. The new wheel loader features an electronically controlled Tier 3-certified engine that provides ample power to move more material per hour, a spacious cab that offers greater operator comfort and visibility, and easy maintenance for more productive hours on the job.

Ideally suited for sand and gravel, stone and aggregates, roads and bridges and site preparation applications, the Case 1221E wheel loader has an operating weight of 30 metric tons (65,600 pounds) and a standard payload capacity of 7.6 cubic yards (5.7 m3).

The Case 1221E wheel loader is powered by a fully electronic, six-cylinder Tier III-certified Cummins engine that boasts 320 net horsepower (239 kW) at maximum performance.

Spacious, quiet, comfortable cab
The large, isolation-mounted cab on the 1221E is among the quietest in the industry, with an operator sound level of 72 dBa. Maximum operator adjustments increase operator comfort, productivity and visibility.

Floor-to-ceiling glass in the front, along with a sloped rear engine compartment, gives the operator a panoramic view, with maximum visibility both forward and to the rear.

All the controls are at the operator’s fingertips with the standard single-lever joystick loader control with forward-neutral-reverse quick shuttle switch and transmission downshift button. A digital display records real-time data, shows diagnostic information and allows programming of operational modes.

Maintenance and serviceability
Fluid sight gauges are positioned at eye level. Three remote drains for coolant, engine and hydraulic oil provide convenient access for fast, environmentally friendly fluid changes.

An option on the 1221E, Ride Control provides improved productivity through excellent material retention while reducing shock loads on the machine and operator. Ride Control can be set for full-time mode or in auto mode, which activates when roading the wheel loader above 6 mph.

Linkage option includes high lift configuration
The 1221E comes in traditional Z-bar and XR linkage configurations. The Z-bar linkage equipped 1221E provides high production, fast cycles, optimized operating loads and great visibility to the bucket. For applications requiring more dump clearance, such as loading materials into high sided trucks, the 1221E XR has high lift throughout the complete cycle.

In addition to the 1221E and 1221E/XR, the Case E Series wheel loaders include the 521E, 521E/XR, 521E/XT, 621E, 621E/XT, 621E/XR, 721E, 721E/XR, 721E/XT, 821E, 821E/XR, 921E and 921E/XR. Case also offers a full line of compact wheel loaders.
