Product roundup: New equipment from Caterpillar, Case, John Deere and the JohnnyBall

Updated Nov 15, 2016

Caterpillar has introduced a pair of new orange peel grapples the company says are designed for a variety of material handling and construction applications.

Replacing the GSH20B-Series grapples, the new GSH425 and GSH525 feature a design with horizontal cylinders, which Cat says creates a profile allowing for greater material penetration and more efficient bulk-material handling.

For added durability, the grapples boast a high-grade, impact-resistant steel construction that protects vulnerable areas such as the hydraulic cylinders. They also feature high quality bushings with lubrication grooves and hardened pins in all the pivot points. The tines have replaceable cast tips made from a wear-resistant material.

At a recent press event at its Tomahawk Customer Center in the woods of northern Wisconsin, Case Construction Equipment unveiled its new G-Series wheel loader lineup.

The lineup consists of seven new models ranging from 141-347 horsepower and 2.1-6.26 cubic yard bucket capacity. The G-Series includes the 521G, 621G, 721G, 821G, 921G, 1021G and 1121G.

The new loaders replace Case’s F-Series lineup which is about five years old.
