Which Is The Most Used Earth Moving Machine

The construction machines are classified into various categories, depending on the application. One of those categories is the Earth moving machines, which are widely used in the construction industry to lift and move large amounts of Earth and dig foundations and landscape areas. A backhoe is an excavating piece of equipment or digger and is consisted of a digging bucket on the end of the arm. This piece of equipment is usually mounted on the back of a front loader. So, a front loader and a backhoe equals to a backhoe loader.

The most used Earth moving machine is the backhoe loader which was invented in 1953 by Joseph Cyril Bamford. Although he equipped a common farm tractor with a rear mounted backhoe and a front-mounted loading bucket, his invention is never called tractor, but a loader backhoe. The section of the two-part articulated arm closest to the vehicle is known as boom, and the section which carries a bucket known as dipper. The boom allows the arm to slew right and left about 200 degrees and the modern backhoes are powered by hydraulics.

Backhoe loaders are very flexible and resourceful machines that can run a variety of attachments, such as hammers, quick couplers, sweeper, loading bucket, specialty buckets, specialty backhoe attachments and others. By implementing advanced engineering principles, the capabilities of the backhoe loaders are expanded. Some of the backhoe loaders characteristics are:

• Due to their size and versatility, backhoe loaders can work even in tight and confined job sites;
• They have superior maneuverability and can turn 180º around;
• The modern backhoe loaders usually include hydrostatic transmission with optional creep speed;
• Durable main frame design for longer life and increased power;

Backhoe loaders can be used for many tasks, whether for construction, transportation, digging or demolitions. The versatility of backhoe loaders allow changing attachments by need. Most backhoe loaders feature quick coupler mounting system, which allows simple and quick attachment. Usually, the used loaders or the loaders for sale suffer many modifications in order to find some new use.
