How to choose the right backhoe loader？With its unique structural characteristics and wide range of applications,
backhoe loaders have gradually become one of the indispensable equipment in engineering construction. This article will introduce in detail the product structure characteristics, uses and purchase considerations of backhoe loaders, so that you can better understand and choose backhoe loaders.
A backhoe loader is a heavy equipment vehicle that usually consists of a tractor-like unit with a loader-style bucket in front and a backhoe bucket at the rear of the excavator end. Due to their (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very commonly used in urban engineering for small construction projects (such as building small houses, repairing urban roads, etc.) and in developing countries. This type of machine is similar to and derived from what is now called a TLB (tractor-loader-backhoe), that is, an agricultural tractor equipped with a front loader and a rear backhoe digging attachment :
Tractor (power train):
This is the core part of the equipment. It includes the engine, transmission and transmission system and is responsible for providing power to the equipment. The core structure of the backhoe loader is the tractor. Just like the tractors used by farmers in the fields, excavator tractors are designed to run freely over a variety of rugged terrains. The tractor has a powerful turbo diesel engine, large, deep-toothed tires, and a cab with basic driving controls (steering wheel, brakes, etc.). Excavator cabs are either fully enclosed or open-top to provide operator protection.
Loading end:
This part includes the loader's bucket and controls, which are used to load and move materials. The loader is assembled at the front of the equipment and the excavator is assembled at the rear. These two components provide completely different functions.
Loaders can perform many different tasks.
In many applications, you can think of it as a powerful large dustpan or coffee scoop. It is generally not used for excavation, but is primarily used for picking up and moving large quantities of loose materials. Alternatively, it can be used to push dirt like a plow, or to smooth the ground, like buttering bread with a knife. The operator can control the loader while driving the tractor.
Excavating end:
This part includes the digging device and control device of the excavator, which is used for digging and clearing materials. The excavator is the main tool of the backhoe loader. It can be used to excavate dense, hard material (often soil), or to lift heavy objects (such as sewer culverts). An excavator can lift the material and stack it to the side of the hole.
Simply put, an excavator is an extremely powerful giant arm or finger, which consists of three parts: a boom, a bucket, and a bucket.
Applicable scenarios for backhoe loaders
Backhoe loaders have a wide range of applications in engineering construction, and their uses mainly include the following aspects:
Diverse construction scenarios: Backhoe loaders are suitable for various construction scenarios, such as construction projects, road projects, water conservancy projects, etc.
Flexible operation methods: The backhoe loader can not only perform excavation operations, but also load and transport operations, which improves the utilization rate of the equipment.
Wide range of applications: Backhoe loaders are suitable for various types of engineering projects, such as earthworks, concrete projects, tunnel projects, etc.
High efficiency and energy saving: The backhoe loader has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving during operation, which can effectively reduce construction costs.
Structural features of backhoe loader
Some backhoe loaders allow you to attach various tools to the excavator arm or loader in place of the standard bucket.
DIG-DOG backhoe loaders provide quick-change devices for convenient hooking of various compatible components. These tools include specialized buckets, sweepers and flatbed forks.
You can also easily attach different tools to the excavator arm.
As you can see from the video below, the operator must use a connecting pin to secure the tool to the excavator arm. You can connect a variety of tools, including:
Hydraulic hammer: used to break asphalt
Auger drill: used for drilling round holes
Asphalt grinder: used to grind road surfaces
Lifting grapple: used to clamp and pull out rooted materials (such as tree stumps)
The use of attachments transforms one piece of equipment into a multipurpose tool for a variety of construction functions.The ability to connect to different tools greatly expands the excavator's versatility. Different attachments allow backhoe loaders to complete a variety of different tasks on the job site.
What to look for when buying a backhoe loader?
Brand selection: Choose well-known brands and manufacturers of high-quality products to ensure the performance and quality of the equipment.
Model selection: Choose the appropriate model according to actual needs to meet construction requirements.
Power selection: Select the appropriate power according to the construction environment and operation requirements to ensure that the equipment can do the job.
Bucket form selection: Choose different types of buckets according to actual needs, such as standard buckets, rock buckets, ripper, etc.
After-sales service: Choose a manufacturer that provides comprehensive after-sales service to ensure that the equipment can be maintained and maintained in a timely manner during use.Not all backhoe attachments will be compatible with your current fleet. ...
