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.
