Backhoe Loaders

Backhoe loader is an important engineering machinery which has replaceable bucket in front and the backhoe in the rear. It is a versatile small size machinery which is quite useful in many small engineering projects.

Mechanical Operations
Backhoe has three segments namely boom, stick, and bucket. Backhoe can also be associated with variety of other instruments like augers, hydraulic hammers, asphalt grinders and grapples. For mounting different attachments backhoe loader is equipped with a tool coupler which consists of two hydraulic cylinders on the end of the loader arm assembly which can expand and retract allowing different tools to be attached to the unit. The attachment of different tools allows backhoe loaders to do multiple jobs, thereby increasing its versatility.

Applications
Backhoe loaders due to their small size and versatility are useful in different areas. Backhoe loaders finds their application in the following fields :

• Construction
• Light demolition
• Transportation of light building material
• Digging holes
• Paving roads
• Breaking asphalt
• Small urban engineering project
