Excavator loaders

What Is a Backhoe Loader and How It Works

A backhoe loader is a universal self-propelled 2-in-1 machine that combines two functions at once: digging (excavator) and loading (front loader). Thanks to its design, it replaces several types of equipment at once, helping save budget, simplify logistics, and increase work efficiency.

Main Functions and Operating Principle

• Soil excavation up to 5.5 m deep
• Loading of bulk and solid materials
• Moving pallets, pipes, blocks using forks and clamps
• Trenching and pit digging
• Working with loose and frozen ground
• Site cleaning, snow removal

The machine is equipped with a front bucket for loading and a rear excavator attachment. Switching between modes happens quickly, allowing effective work even in limited spaces.

Tasks Performed by the Equipment

• Earthworks at construction sites
• Loading gravel, sand, debris
• Landscaping and grading
• Municipal and road works
• Maintenance of warehouses and livestock complexes

Types of Backhoe Loaders

TAD Group offers equipment that can handle a wide range of tasks. The right choice depends on design, configuration, and working conditions.

For those wanting to save money without compromising on reliability, we recommend our used backhoe loaders. We stock verified models imported from Europe, Japan, and China. See all available machines on the used backhoe loaders page.

By Class and Design Type

• Compact models – for urban and narrow spaces
• Standard universal machines – for construction and municipal tasks
• Heavy-duty modifications – with increased power and digging depth

Differences include not only sizes but also suspension features, transmission, drive type (2WD/4WD), and maneuverability on various surfaces.

Attachments and Bucket Types

• Front buckets: standard, reinforced, high-capacity
• Rear excavator buckets: straight or backhoe
• Additional equipment: hydraulic breakers, brushes, snow blades, forks

The choice depends on the application. It is important to consider the type of soil, expected loads, and the need for quick attachment changes.
