Backhoe Loader for Sale
Compare 4 LICH backhoe loader models: 1.0–1.2 m³ loader buckets, 2,500 kg lift, up to 4,085 mm digging depth, powershift and four-wheel-steer options.
A backhoe loader does two jobs with one machine and one operator: the front bucket loads and carries, and the rear backhoe digs trenches and foundations. Every model in the range lifts 2,500 kg with the loader and carries a 0.3 m³ backhoe bucket, so the choice comes down to driveline, steering and loader bucket size.
The table compares the published figures for each backhoe loader. Open any model for the full specification sheet and photos, or send your job details for a quotation.

Backhoe loader or two separate machines?
On jobs that switch between digging a trench, backfilling and moving material, one backhoe loader does the work of a small excavator plus a wheel loader, and it drives itself between nearby sites. For a full day of digging only, an excavator is the faster tool; for loading only, a wheel loader carries more per cycle.
Our backhoe vs excavator guide compares the two in detail.
