CASE Construction Equipment (CASE CE) has introduced a factory-fitted air-conditioned cab option for its popular small frame skid steer loaders, including the SR130B and SR150B, into the Middle East and Africa market.
Operators can now stay cool and stay productive, even under the harshest thermal and dust conditions, the manufacturer says, adding that the addition underlines its focus on customer-led innovation.
The move marks the first time a small frame skid steer loader in the region has been made available with an integrated AC system, with the new machines already deployed in Bahrain through CASE CE’s local partner, AMA Motors.
The launch comes at a time when rising regional temperatures continue to impact jobsite conditions. May was officially recorded as the hottest on record, underscoring the challenge of maintaining productivity in extreme heat. Traditionally, budget-friendly small frame skid steers have not been equipped with air-conditioned cabs.
CASE CE says its newly engineered high-efficiency AC system has been designed to maintain a stable and comfortable cabin climate, reducing operator fatigue and supporting sharper concentration during long shifts. This, the company adds, directly contributes to improved efficiency and productivity across worksites.
By offering air-conditioned comfort in a cost-effective, compact package, CASE CE believes the new option represents a “game-changer” for operators and contractors across the MEA region.
AMA Motors’ General Manager John Joseph tells CMME that the integrated AC system “prioritizes operator well-being” in the extreme climate experienced in the region.
“Our partnership with CASE CE in launching this groundbreaking AC Skid Steer in Bahrain marks a significant advancement for the local construction sector,” states Joseph.
“This machine directly addresses the urgent demand for high-performance equipment that prioritizes operator well-being in our climate. We anticipate it will empower our clients to achieve new benchmarks in efficiency and project delivery.”
