180° excavators, also known as backhoe loaders or backhoes, are now widely used through the building and grounds maintenance industry.

If you were to ask any large group of people what they could tell you about 180° excavators (backhoe loaders), a lot of them wouldn't know what you were talking about. But if you showed them a picture of one, almost everybody would understand what you meant.

They are used for a huge variety of different jobs and are often the only piece of heavy equipment on a construction site. But their size, weight and power make it imperative that these machines are operated accredited personnel who have successfully completed an appropriate 180° excavator training course. The difficulty is finding the staff with the appropriate qualifications.

180° excavators - background

A 180° excavators or backhoes are an interesting invention because it is actually combines three pieces of construction equipment combined into one unit.

The 3 main elements are, tractor, loader and backhoe, and all are suited to a particular sort of work. On a typical site, the backhoe operator usually uses all three components to get the job done.

The tractor - just like the tractors that farmers use in their fields, the backhoe tractor is designed to move easily over all kinds of rough terrain. Backhoe cabs are either completely enclosed or have an open canopy structure to give the operator protection.

The loader - is attached in the front and the backhoe is attached in the back. These two components serve very different functions. The loader can do several different things. You mostly use it to pick up and carry large amounts of loose material. It's also used to smooth things over like a butter knife, or to push dirt like a bulldozer. The operator controls the loader while driving the tractor.

The backhoe - is the main tool of the backhoe loader. It's used to dig up hard, compact material, usually earth, or to lift heavy loads.
