This Caterpillar 416 is a backhoe loader — also commonly referred to as a loader backhoe or simply a backhoe — a versatile piece of construction equipment designed to perform both digging and loading tasks from a single machine. Backhoe loaders are a staple on construction sites, utility projects, landscaping work, and light excavation jobs, offering the reach and bucket force of an excavator at the rear combined with a front loader for moving and loading material. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised heavy equipment manufacturers, building machinery for construction, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure industries across the globe.
This 1989 machine is offered in used condition from California, USA, and is powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine, providing the reliable torque and fuel efficiency that diesel is favoured for in working equipment of this type. The drivetrain features a four-speed transmission, giving the operator a range of ground speed options to suit different site conditions and travel requirements.
The front end is fitted with a general-purpose (GP) bucket, the standard loader attachment suited to a broad range of tasks including moving soil, gravel, and loose material. At the rear, the machine is equipped with a standard stick — the conventional dipper arm length as opposed to an extended or short stick — paired with a 24-inch backhoe bucket, a mid-range bucket width well suited to trenching work for utilities, drainage, and general excavation. The asking price for this machine is $22,500.
