Performances: lifting capacity, digging depth, digging force raises a new standard on this machine segment.All the main checkpoint can be easily reached from the ground. The front tilting engine hood and the perfect components layout ensures fast routine operations. The power shuttle transmission with torque converter allows smooth cycles and stall free operations. The electro hydraulic reversing as well as the cutoff button ensures comfortable and fast travelling. The extendahoe allows the operator to increase overall backhoe loader capacity keeping the same strength of the standard dipper. The new backhoe’s ‘S’tyled boom will boost your productivity. The boom delivers excellent breakout forces. The heavy duty front axle further boosts productivity especially when working in rough terrains. The Heavy Duty structures will enhance the reliability and the durability of your machine.
Backhoe loaders for multitasking
Along with bigger projects, medium and small sized projects requirement is being adopted by the manufacturers. The focus is on multiple task applications. Cat 424 Backhoe Loader is providing just that. The backhoe Loader provides superior performance, best in class Hydraulics, outstanding Durability & Reliability, Easy Maintenance & Serviceability. The new BHL comes with better fuel efficiency, where every drop counts, hence more earning per hour. The machine is designed for more reach and digging depth, better engine and component life, optimum performance at any engine speed. Due to their smaller frame size and excellent maneuverability and versatility, the equipment is best suited for areas where using large equipment is not a feasible option. It has one of the best in class digging forces even at the deepest digging point allowing the most difficult excavation to be tackled with ease. It comes with a unique hydraulic system. The machine is designed for more reach and digging depth, better engine and component life, optimum performance at any engine speed. It is also available with hammer attachments. The style boom of the equipment model has better reach over obstacles and assists in easy and smooth loading of high body trucks. Boom-stick-bucket is this equipment is designed with perfect geometry which aids well for digging. 205-degree hoe bucket rotation gives better heap capacity and superior rimpull delivers excellent dozing performance.
Backhoe loader with dig depths and breakout forces
Backhoe loaders with better dig depths, breakout forces and operating capacities are in demand due to hard terrain in India. The Volvo BL71 is a perfect fit for it. The backhoe provides a 4,3 m dig depth and 59 kN of bucket dig force. The narrow, S-style boom provides excellent visibility and load capacity to simplify digging and loading operations. For safe roading, the boom can be hydraulically locked and there’s a locking. It has optional features like an extendible dipper. And because operators are as diverse as the jobs, the equipment model offers added versatility and comfort with the choice of excavator or backhoe control patterns. It is also equipped with a proven Volvo turbo diesel engine capable of delivering high power and torque at low revs with low fuel consumption. The machine’s Powershuttle gearbox features four fully synchronized gears and electro-hydraulic switching between forward and reverse. Backhoe’s boom has a closed box welded construction with fewer components and fewer welds for superior strength. The kingpost is composed of cast iron to allow flexible movement and swing while maintaining uncompromising strength. The single, center-mounted dump cylinder provides 55 kN of breakout force, so you can handle the load with speed and ease. It also 1 features a 1.0 m3 General Purpose Standard Bucket that gives you the capacity to move more material with every load, for faster cycle times and increased profitability.
