CASE Construction Equipment, a global manufacturer of forestry and construction machinery, recently introduced the CASE Laser Grading Box, an ultra-precise grading attachment for CASE skid steers and compact track loaders performing fine-grading workloads on concrete subgrade, athletic fields, parking lots, driveways, equestrian arenas, and more, to within 0.1 inch (0.25 centimeter).

Making The Grade

The CASE Laser Grading Box works by scanning the ground with a rotating beam of laser light, which is read by the laser receivers mounted to masts and interpreted by the control panel. This device then instructs the hydraulic valve to set the appropriate angle for the box in order to create the desired grade.

CASE has designed the new Laser Grading Box with the supreme maneuverability of skid steers and compact track loaders in mind. Case in point, the reversible cutting edge on all sides is capable of performing the grading whether the machine is moving forward or in reverse. The grading box is adjusted with the machine’s hydraulic valve system, thus ensuring a smooth experience no matter how rough the ground is.

Three Configurations

CASE offers the Laser Grading Box in three configurations measuring 72, 84, and 96 inches (183, 213, and 244 centimeters) wide. Although the new attachment will work on CTLs and skid steers, CASE says that the former machine may offer better weight distribution characteristics depending on the ground conditions. The grading box works with CASE Site Control laser receivers, control panel, and beacons. Users can automate elevation using the laser receivers on a single mast, or gain cross-slope support by employing a dual-mast setup. Additional standard features include a powder coat finish, composite greaseless bushings, and foam-filled tires.

If you’re in the market for new or used CASE machines or attachments, you’ll find wide variety of models available for sale on MachineryTrader.com and ForestryTrader.com.
