How Does the Backhoe Loader Work

 


The backhoe loader is a commonly used heavy duty construction equipment that comprises a backhoe on the rear and a loader-style bucket on the front end. This equipment is capable of landscaping jobs of all types and sizes, as well as be engaged in moving rocks, gravel and boulders or pushing topsoil and moving dirt.

The most interesting thing about a backhoe loader is that it is actually a combination of three distinct elements, a tractor, a backhoe and a loader, united to form a single unit. Every individual equipment is best suited for a specific kind of work.

The Backhoe

The backhoe is one of the primary tools of a backhoe loader. It generally helps to dig up compact, hard material like earth. The backhoe can be compared to a supremely powerful and a much bigger version of an arm. It is segregated into three sections – the bucket, the stick and the boom. The arrangement is quite similar to that of the hand, upper arm and forearm.

The segments of a backhoe are linked using three joints. It moves in a similar fashion to that of your arm. In case of a CAT backhoe, the boom is generally bent upward to ensure a convenient dig, despite obstacles.

The Tractor

The core structure of the backhoe loader comprises of the tractor. It has a turbocharged, powerful diesel engine, large tires and a cab with elementary steering controls. Similar to tractors used by farmers in their fields, a backhoe tractor is developed to navigate easily across all kinds of rough terrains. Backhoe cabs are generally enclosed to offer complete operator protection.

The Loader

The backhoe is attached to the rear while the loader is affixed to the front. Moreover, each of these components are meant to serve very distinct functions. The loader is equipped to work on different applications. In several applications, it is used like a powerful coffee scoop or dustpan. It is never used for digging, but mostly for picking up and carrying large quantities of loose material. It can also be used to push dirt. The loader is controlled by the operator, while operating the tractor.

Conclusion

Owing to technological development, CAT Backhoe Loaders today are fitted with high end telematics system, the CAT Product Link, that offers better tracking of the job performed by the equipment.
