Top 100: Proven Undercarriage Technology

A line of compact track loaders combines the technology from Case's new 400 Series skid-steer loaders with the company's long experience building undercarriages for crawler dozers and excavators. Rigid — not suspended — rollers/track frame provides the best in support with fewer moving parts, Case says. The vertical-lift 445CT and radial-lift 450CT have net horsepower ratings of 74 and 82, respectively, with lift capacities of 3,500 and 3,857 pounds. Estimated list price: $33,000 to $56,000.
