It’s not quite a skid steer, CTL or compact wheel loader – it’s a small articulated loader – a new product category that Case Construction Equipment says will bridge the gap in its compact loader lineup.
Six diesel-powered units and one electrified model will be launched throughout 2023 and 2024, three of which were previewed at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023: the telescopic SL12 TR, the electrified SL22EV and the telescopic SL35 TR. (Get a closer look at the machines in the video at the end of the article.)
The loaders will be designed and built by Tobroco-Giant, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of compact construction equipment including loaders, skid steers and telehandlers, and distributed under the Case and New Holland brands in North America. An agreement between the companies was announced in February 2023.
“A big piece of our strategy is further expansion into the subcompact equipment market that allows dealers to provide solutions beyond traditional skid steers and CTLs to meet the needs of their customers,” said North American Head of Product Management Brad Stemper. “We’re working in confined areas to work on jobsites where access is challenging and for contractors who need the ability to transport smaller equipment.”

“The articulated design matched with light weight and turf tires allows for excellent agility that doesn’t tear up existing turf or other surfaces, all while still operating in a very compact footprint. And with a wide range of attachment options, these loaders are the ultimate support machines both for work in the yard and on site, on turf and on improved surfaces,” says Brady Lewis, product manager.
The line will share attachment commonality with Case’s new mini track loader fleet, which also debuted at ConExpo, while the larger models in the range will share compatibility with standard skid steer and compact track loader attachments.
