Backhoe loader is a kind of multi-functional construction machinery. It integrates the functions of excavation, loading and transportation, which greatly improves the work efficiency and operation flexibility. With advantages of cost effective, it is an indispensable machinery for engineering projects. The following is the brief i introduction to the origin and development of the backhoe loader.
Origin: loader with backhoe equipment first originated in Europe in the late 1960s. At that time, excavators and loaders were two independent construction machinery, but due to the narrow space of the site, the use of these two machinery would cause a waste of space, time and cost.
Initial development: in order to solve the above problems, construction machinery manufacturers began to try to integrate excavators and loader to a machine that can excavate and load at the same time. The initial product is usually to transform the excavator bucket into a bucket to achieve the function of digging and loading.
Technological progress: With the passage of time, the technology of backhoe loader continues to improve. Manufacturers began to adopt hydraulic systems and electronic control technology to improve the performance of machinery and the accuracy of operation. At the same time, the buckets are also specially designed to better adapt to different work needs.
Diversified development: With the increase of market demand, the models of backhoe loader have become more and more diversified. Different models can be applied to different engineering operations, such as earth moving operations, road construction, mining and so on. Users can choose their own two busy according to their actual needs.
Intelligent development: In recent years, backhoe loader has also begun to follow the trend of intelligent development. Through laser measurement, sensors and automatic control and other technologies, machinery can achieve higher automation and accuracy, reducing the need for manual operation, not only reducing labor costs, but also improving work efficiency and work accuracy.
To sum up, the development history of the backhoe loader can be traced back to the late 1960s in Europe. Through the continuous progress of technology and market demand, it has developed into a multi-functional construction machinery that integrates the functions of excavators and loaders, and gradually realizes intelligence.
At present, there are many affordable backhoes under $10k in the world. Some known backhoe manufacturers are Caterpillar, Volvo, XCMG, Zoomlion, Shantui Construction Machinery, Luton Group machinery. Their production technology has been very mature, and has a strong customer base.
