Exploring The Back Hoe Attachments
The back hoe loaders have always been a vital part of the construction industry, as they are used for different applications. A standard back hoe is a combination of two different machines: back hoe and loader. A self-propelled and wheeled unit, the back hoe loader is capable of performing digging, lifting, moving, pushing, leveling, scraping and spreading tasks. The back hoe loaders depend on the back hoe attachments to a significant extent. For every application, there is a specific back hoe attachment you can use on your back hoe loader. Compact, yet powerful, efficient, and easy for maintenance, the back hoe loaders and back hoe attachments are important for millions of construction and agricultural companies. Let’s see which are the most popular and most commonly used back hoe attachments.
Back Hoe Bucket – The back hoe bucket is definitely the most common attachment, and you probably know a lot about it. It is positioned at the rear end of the loader and it is used for digging and moving different materials from one to another location. There are general-purpose and heavy-duty buckets. The general-purpose back hoe bucket is used for light duties and materials, such as moving sand or earth, while the heavy-duty back hoe bucket for performing heavier and more complex applications.
Loader Bucket – As you already know, there are two types of buckets: back hoe and loader bucket. The loader bucket is mounted on the front end of the back hoe loader and it is used for pushing, leveling, excavating and of course for loading different materials. So, it is safe to say that the loader bucket is highly efficient for a wide range applications.
Side-Shift Back Hoe – The side-shift back hoe is one of the most efficient back hoe attachments, as it allows the backhoe loaders to operate close to walls. Thus, the side-shift back hoe attachment reduces the time required for positioning the back hoe loader, and speeds up the cycle time.
