One machine, two working ends
The front bucket loads and carries while the rear arm digs trenches and footings, covering work that would otherwise need a wheel loader and excavator on site together.
Loading & Digging Machine
Backhoe Loader
A front loader bucket and a rear digging arm on one chassis, sized for utility and site work that does not justify running two separate machines.
- Operating weight
- ≈ 8 – 9.5 t
- Loading bucket
- 1.0 m³
- Digging bucket
- 0.3 m³
- Max digging depth
- 4.4 m
Backhoe loaders (two-headed loaders) for utility, site and municipal work
A wheeled machine that loads from the front and digs from the rear, so one operator covers both jobs on sites too small for a separate loader and excavator.
The representative build carries a 1.0 m³ loading bucket at the front and a 0.3 m³ digging bucket on a rear arm that reaches 4.4 m deep and 5.47 m out, swinging ±85° to work either side without repositioning. A 65 kW Yuchai diesel drives four travel gears up to 33 km/h, so the machine moves between tasks under its own power.
Backhoe loaders as a class sit in an 8 to 9.5 t operating-weight band rather than a wide spread of tonnages, so we size bucket capacity and reach to the job rather than treating every order as identical. Every unit ships as an export order, bucket widths matched to your typical job. A backhoe loader ordered alongside a mini excavator covers utility work and tighter-access digging.
Before crating, both the loader bucket and backhoe arm are cycled through a full lift-dig-swing sequence under hydraulic load, not just checked stationary.

How these backhoe loaders are built
Bucket sizes matched to the job
A 1.0 m³ loading bucket and 0.3 m³ digging bucket suit general utility work; we adjust width for narrower trenches or heavier loading volume.
Road-legal travel between job sites
A 33 km/h top speed lets the machine move under its own power between nearby sites, cutting the trailer moves a tracked excavator would need.
Same export process as the rest of the fleet
Left- or right-hand drive, your market's emission standard, and bucket widths matched to your typical job, set before the unit leaves the yard.
Where these backhoe loaders work
- Utility trenching for water, drainage and cable work, digging and loading spoil with the same machine.
- Municipal and public works maintenance, where one machine covers both loading and small digging jobs.
- General construction site work, clearing and loading material while digging footings and trenches.
- Sites also running a skid steer loader for tighter-access material handling.
Frequently asked questions
What operating weight is this machine?
Backhoe loaders as a class sit in a fairly narrow 8 to 9.5 tonne operating-weight band — our representative build is 9,500 kg. The differences between builds come down to bucket capacity and digging reach rather than a large jump in overall machine size.
Can the bucket sizes be changed?
Yes. The 1.0 m³ loading bucket and 0.3 m³ digging bucket on the representative build are typical for general utility work; tell us your trench width or loading volume and we will confirm the bucket sizes for your order.
How is this different from a mini excavator?
A backhoe loader combines a front loading bucket with a rear digging arm on one wheeled chassis and can travel at highway-adjacent speed between sites. A mini excavator is a dedicated tracked digging machine with a smaller footprint for tight-access work but no front loading bucket and a lower travel speed.
Can this be ordered together with other equipment?
Yes. If you already have an order with us for a mini excavator, skid steer loader or one of our trucks, a backhoe loader can be added to the same production run and shipment, which is usually simpler than sourcing it separately.
