The backhoe loader is an essential machine in earthmoving works. Due to their (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoes are very common in urban engineering projects and small construction projects (such as building a small house, repairing urban roads, etc.).

The hydraulic system of a machine determines how much weight it can load and at what speed it can operate. Therefore, it represents one of the fundamental elements for the correct functioning of a wheel loader or an excavator.
In the next video we can appreciate how, thanks to the hydraulic system, the excavator’s arm and the bucket move easily.
Operators must obtain the maximum possible performance of the machines to use them in the best way and avoid wastage of fuel.
This objective can only be achieved through the implementation of a failure maintenance and prevention strategy. The checking must be carried out daily and, in the specific case of the hydraulic system, must mainly be focused on the hydraulic oil level. The filters and oil must be changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Earthmoving works require the use of appropriate equipment. Implements, such as the bucket, the hammer, the clamp, etc., meet precise requirements, giving enormous flexibility to the machines.
Thanks to the bucket positioner it is possible to change the implement quickly, without excessive effort and in totally safe.
