Backhoe loaders

CATERPILLAR 428D, Other

A backhoe loader is an earth-moving equipment originally developed from the tractor used in agriculture. It is a multi-purpose device that can replace the wheel loader and the hydraulic excavator in light earthworks or small construction projects due to its smaller size. It comes with a loading shovel at the front and a hydraulic backhoe boom at the back.
