Backhoe Loader
RB420F Backhoe Loader
A 4WD backhoe loader with a 1.5 m³ loader bucket, 2,800 kg rated load and 4,100 mm standard maximum digging depth.
Product Line · 3 Models
A backhoe loader digs, trenches, loads and backfills with one machine and one operator — an alternative to running a separate excavator and wheel loader on small and mid-size sites. Three models, configurable buckets and cabs, export documentation and long-term parts support.
Why a Backhoe Loader
On a typical small or mid-size site, the digging work and the material-handling work rarely happen at the same time. A backhoe loader covers both with a loader bucket at the front and a hoe attachment at the back — so the crew that dug the trench in the morning loads aggregate in the afternoon.
Who buys them: general contractors running compact sites, municipal crews doing utility and sidewalk work, rental fleets that need one machine to rent as many ways as possible, and farms building access roads, drainage and livestock infrastructure.

Model Selection Guide
List what the machine must actually do this year: trench depths, pit volumes, loading rates, attachment changes. The task list, not the brochure, picks the model.
Compare machine dimensions and operating weight against your transport trailers, site access routes and any weight-limited bridges or ramps confirmed in the quotation.
Buckets, cab level and drive options are selected per market and per task. We confirm what each configuration includes in writing before production.
Container or break-bulk, packing standard, documents and freight to your port — confirmed with the quotation so the landed cost is clear before you order.
How It Works
At the front, the loader bucket handles material: it loads trucks, moves aggregate around the plot, levels spoil and backfills around foundations. The operator works from the forward-facing seat, and the machine shuttles between stockpile and trench under its own power.
At the rear, the hoe arm digs: utility trenches, foundation pits, drainage lines and hard spots the loader cannot break. The operator swings the seat around, stabilisers take the reaction load, and the arm digs below grade while the machine stays on the surface.
Because both ends share one engine, one hydraulic system and one operator, the switch between digging and loading is a seat rotation — not a machine change.
Main Components & Options
The systems that decide performance, comfort and long-term running cost. Detailed per-model specifications are confirmed with the factory at the order stage.
Front bucket and lift arms for loading trucks, moving material and light levelling. Bucket width options are matched to your truck bed and site lanes confirmed in the quotation.
Rear boom, dipper and bucket with stabiliser legs for trenching and pit digging. Digging depth and bucket widths are compared per model in the table above.
Rotating operator seat, pilot or mechanical controls and a working envelope designed for all-day shifts. The LB388 Luxury upgrades the cab and comfort package confirmed in the quotation.
One hydraulic circuit feeds both working ends, which is what lets a single machine dig and load. Pump capacity and circuit details per model confirmed in the quotation.
Buckets in multiple widths are the most common request; other attachments depend on model compatibility confirmed in the quotation. Ask with your enquiry.
Two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations are available depending on model and market confirmed in the quotation. Ground conditions on your sites decide which one pays off.
Factory & Quality Control
Before a backhoe loader is packed, it goes through the factory's inspection sequence. No machine leaves for the port with an open checkpoint.
Shipping, Parts & After-Sales
Packing lists, invoices, certificates of origin and shipping paperwork prepared for your import process and customs broker.
Wear parts and service items available per machine — the parts list for your model is included with your quotation.
Warranty terms stated in writing with every order — terms confirmed in your quotation — plus remote technical assistance for commissioning and troubleshooting.
Backhoe Loader FAQ
Straight answers — with final configuration details confirmed in your written quotation.
Common requests include different loader and backhoe bucket widths and a quick coupler for faster changes. The full attachment list and compatibility per model are confirmed in the quotation — tell us which tasks you need to cover and we confirm the options in writing with your quote.
Depending on the machine's dimensions and your destination port, a backhoe loader travels in a shipping container or as break-bulk / flat-rack cargo. Machines are cleaned, protected and loaded with the full export document set. The exact packing plan per model and configuration is confirmed in the quotation and is included with your quote.
Every order includes export documentation, an operation manual and a parts list for your machine. Wear parts and service items are available long-term, and our team provides remote technical assistance for commissioning and troubleshooting. Warranty terms are stated in writing with every order — the warranty period is confirmed in the quotation.
Yes. Buckets, cab options and the drive configuration are selected before production, and market-specific requirements can usually be accommodated. Final specifications are confirmed with the factory at the order stage, so nothing is guessed.
Lead time depends on the configuration you choose and the current production schedule confirmed in the quotation, and ocean freight time depends on your destination port. Our team states both dates in the quotation so you can plan your project around them.

A backhoe loader is a single machine that combines a loading unit at the front and an excavating arm at the rear, built around one engine, one hydraulic circuit and one operator. Contractors choose it when digging and material handling alternate through the day: trenching in the morning, loading trucks and backfilling in the afternoon. On small and mid-size sites, that combination often replaces mobilising both an excavator and a wheel loader — two transport moves, two operators and two maintenance schedules become one.
Buying decisions usually come down to a handful of measurable parameters: operating weight, engine power, rated load, loader and backhoe bucket capacities, maximum digging depth, dumping height and drive type. Those are the figures compared in the table above, and they are the figures we confirm with the factory in writing before you commit — a machine that misses your trench depth or overloads your transport trailer is the wrong machine at any price.
For export buyers, the practical questions arrive after the specs: can buckets and cabs be configured for local tasks, how does the machine travel to the destination port, and who supplies wear parts next season. Ray Bridge handles backhoe loader enquiries in that order — model first, configuration second, then a packing and freight plan — so the quotation you receive covers the machine and the logistics together. If your project also needs on-site concrete production, see our self-loading concrete mixers; many road and rural-infrastructure contractors run both machine types on the same crew.
