Buying used construction equipment can significantly reduce costs, especially when it comes to multifunctional machines. Backhoe loaders are particularly in demand among such solutions. You can find a suitable option if you set priorities in advance and study the technical parameters. On the website, you can buy a backhoe loader in the assortment from the TAD Group company. This technique combines the functions of two machines and is suitable for a wide range of tasks on the construction site, in the agricultural sector and in municipal work.
Functional features and areas of application
The backhoe loader combines the capabilities for digging and moving loads. Due to this, it is used in the construction of trenches, loading of building materials, cleaning the territory and even during minor dismantling work. The machine is effective in facilities where it is not possible to use two separate types of equipment at once.
- The front part performs the functions of a front loader
- The rear part is a full—fledged excavator equipment
- Additional hydraulic outlets allow you to connect attachments
Its compactness, maneuverability, and versatility make it advantageous for contractors who value mobility and cost savings on transportation.
What to check before buying a used backhoe loader
When choosing used equipment, it is important not to limit yourself to an external inspection. Used backhoe loaders undergo different operating conditions, and even visually the whole machine may have hidden defects. Before buying, it is advisable to conduct a test drive and technical diagnostics of the main components.
What to pay attention to:
- Engine operation — stability, absence of overheating and extraneous sounds
- The condition of the hydraulics is the smoothness of the bucket and boom movement, the tightness of the hoses
- Tire and chassis wear
- Gearbox and transmission operation — switching without jerks
- Functionality of controls and electronics
The availability of maintenance documentation is an additional plus. Reliable suppliers such as the TAD Group usually provide access to the operational history.
