Case Loader

Case loaders are useful for picking up all kinds of heavy objects in crates, cases and other objects that don't roll easily. You should look into case loaders if you need to move crates and other heavy objects from one to another. The light frame and fine control of case loaders make them useful in crowded urban construction sites as well as in other places.

Case loaders are mobile machines that can move loose or solid materials from one place to another and pile or load them. Case loaders deal especially well with transporting squarish or flat-bottomed materials, while other types of loaders can handle large, heavy objects like metal or concrete pipes or even trees. Essentially, case loaders lift and moves stuff from here to there. Case loaders usually have wheels. They may use a wide bucket on one end to transfer material. Some case loaders have buckets that can be replaced with other tools, whereas other loaders have permanently attached buckets.

If you need prodigious digging capabilities, case loaders are usually not your best solution unless they have good backhoes on them. Many case loaders carry about 3-5 cubic meters of material, which is generally more than what regular backhoes can handle. Most case loaders have wheels instead of tracks (unlike bulldozers), which gives them greater mobility and allows them to not damage paved roads as much.
