Wheel Loader: Electrohydraulic Controls
Case’s F-Series compact wheel loaders are now available with adjustable electrohydraulic controls. The operator can adjust the responsiveness of the loader lift arms using a three-way rocker switch on the side console. This allows for greater control of the bucket edge when dumping or placing materials. An electronically controlled inching valve is linked to a new pedal in the cab for when the operator needs more precise movements at slow speeds.

Aerial Lifts: Sensor Package Prevents Collisions
The JLG SkySense sensor package is now available as an option on JLG boom lifts and scissor lifts. The system’s ultrasonic sensors can detect when the lift is approaching an obstacle, and it will provide audible and visual alarms while automatically slowing down and halting the lift before a collision. The lift operator then has the option to override the SkySense and slowly approach the obstacle. The system is intended for lifts being used indoors or anywhere where overhead obstacles may lead to collision or entrapment. The sensor package is available as a factory-installed option or an aftermarket addition.
