Product Description
The used Cat 420F is a powerhouse of versatility, designed to excel
across a spectrum of tasks—from construction and agriculture to
utility maintenance. As a backhoe loader, it combines the digging
prowess of a backhoe with the material-handling capabilities of a
loader, making it a staple for job sites that demand
multi-functionality.
Advantages
One of the standout advantages of the Cat 420F is its exceptional
adaptability. Whether you’re digging trenches, loading materials,
lifting heavy objects, or grading surfaces, this machine
transitions seamlessly between tasks, eliminating the need for
multiple pieces of equipment. This not only saves time but also
reduces operational costs, a key benefit for small to mid-sized
contractors.
Durability is another cornerstone of its design. Built with
Caterpillar’s renowned ruggedness, the 420F features a robust
frame, reinforced components, and high-quality materials that
withstand harsh working conditions—from muddy construction sites to
rocky agricultural fields. Its reliability translates to less
downtime and lower maintenance expenses, ensuring consistent
productivity.
Fuel efficiency is a notable plus, thanks to the Cat C4.4 ACERT
turbocharged diesel engine. Delivering 86 kW (115 HP) at 2,200 rpm,
it balances power and fuel consumption, allowing for extended work
sessions without frequent refueling. The 160-liter fuel tank
further supports long hours of operation, minimizing interruptions.
Features
The Cat 420F is packed with features that enhance performance and
operator comfort. The backhoe arm offers a maximum digging depth of
approximately 4,800 mm and a maximum reach of 6,300 mm, making it
capable of tackling deep trenches and hard-to-reach areas. Its
breakout force of 5,200 kgf ensures efficient digging even in
compacted soil.
On the loader side, a bucket capacity ranging from 1.0 to 1.5 cubic
meters (depending on the bucket type) allows for handling large
volumes of materials—from gravel and sand to agricultural produce.
The maximum lift height of 3,400 mm facilitates easy loading into
trucks or elevated storage areas, while the loader breakout force
of 6,800 kgf ensures strong material penetration.
The machine’s mobility is a key asset. With a maximum travel speed
of 40 km/h, it can quickly move between job sites, reducing transit
time. The 4-speed power shift transmission ensures smooth gear
changes, adapting to different terrains and load conditions.
Equipped with standard 17.5L - 24 tires, it provides excellent
traction on both paved and unpaved surfaces.
Operator comfort is prioritized with an enclosed cab featuring air
conditioning, an ergonomic seat, and intuitive controls. The
ROPS/FOPS-certified structure enhances safety, protecting the
operator from rollovers and falling objects. The cab’s design also
offers excellent visibility, allowing for precise operation and
reducing the risk of accidents.
The hydraulic system, operating at approximately 24 MPa, delivers
responsive performance, with smooth movements of the backhoe and
loader arms. This precision is crucial for tasks that require
accuracy, such as digging around utilities or placing materials
with care.
QA
- Q: What industries benefit most from the Cat 420F?
A: It’s widely used in construction (trench digging, material
loading), agriculture (land preparation, manure handling), utility
work (pipe installation, maintenance), and landscaping (grading,
soil moving).
- Q: How easy is it to maintain the Cat 420F?
A: Maintenance is straightforward, with easy access to key
components like filters and fluid reservoirs. Caterpillar’s global
service network also ensures readily available parts and support,
minimizing downtime.
- Q: Can it handle heavy loads?
A: Yes, the loader’s robust design and high breakout force allow it
to handle heavy materials like concrete blocks and gravel, while
the backhoe can lift and move heavy objects with its strong arm.
- Q: Is it suitable for small job sites?
A: Absolutely. Its compact design (with a wheelbase of
approximately 2,500 mm) and maneuverability make it ideal for tight
spaces, such as residential construction sites or small farms.
- Q: What’s the typical operating hour range for a used model?
A: Used Cat 420F units often range from 1,500 to 6,000 operating
hours, with well-maintained machines capable of lasting much longer
with proper care.
