BACK HOE

The   backhoe or attachment excavator is a construction machine that is mainly used in earthworks. The excavator is designed as a multi-purpose device, because it replaces a wheel loader with the loading shovel at the front and the hydraulic excavator with the excavator boom at the rear (hence the backhoe). Both devices are controlled from the driver's cab. Although this combination machine can be used universally, it is less powerful than the respective individual machines. That is why backhoe excavators are more likely to be used on smaller construction sites.

UBackhoe excavators were originally developed from tractors used in agriculture. Tractors were equipped with a front loader and supplemented with a universal backhoe or mounted excavator . Tractors are certainly the ones with the most standardized work machines. While many manufacturer-specific standards have established themselves on the market in the construction machinery sector, which keeps prices high, there are globally uniform attachment standards for tractors. This makes it easier for manufacturers of such attachments to distribute them worldwide and reduces costs for customers.

With the help of various attachments, backhoe excavators can replace various individual machines on construction sites and even enable private users to affordably use work machines with considerable work performance.

Sewer and pipeline construction work in agriculture or in residential construction

Backhoe can be fitted with a range of attachments. This includes shovels of different widths with or without tines, because they are not required for loose material such as sand. Wide shovels are particularly suitable for smoothing out larger areas.
