What are Backhoe Excavator Machines?
The basic layout of a backhoe excavator consists of a powerful extendable hydraulic arm mounted on a 360-degree pivot point, with the operator’s cab sited alongside. This assembly, in turn, is located upon a wheeled or caterpillar tracked undercarriage, allowing the machine to operate in rough terrain. Buying backhoe excavator machines involves a large commitment of capital, and you need to know exactly what you expect of an excavator, to avoid expensive mistakes through buying the wrong machine for your specific needs. There are two main types of backhoe excavator machine; useful mini-excavators and the powerful full-sized excavator, both perfectly suited to performing a variety of tasks.
