Backhoe Loaders - 10 to < 14 foot dig depth Compact backhoes offer big-machine performance and features

摘要

Backhoes in the 10- to < 14-foot classes are the largest compact models available and are used in a wide array of varying applications. These machines can be found on farms, in landscaping equipment fleets and in hard-core construction applications. Primary users among construction contractors are companies engaged in light utility, plumbing, electrical and design-and-build landscaping work. "These are contractors who don't necessarily need the 14-foot dig depth or extra reach of larger back-hoes," explains Georg Seyrlehner, product manager, backhoe loaders, Ingersoll-Rand. "They typically need to get in and out quickly, move the machine in tight surroundings and dig shallow trenches or load materials."
