Backhoe
Boom and stick designed for high performance and easy service.
The E-Series backhoe delivers industry-leading digging forces. Serrated edges on the stick provide
improved material clamping for clearing and demolition applications. The single pin bucket linkage
contributes to best-in-class rotation of 205 degrees for all applications.
E-Stick Design
The optional extendible stick (E-stick) increases reach and dig depth by approximately 1.2 meters
(4 feet). The new design delivers increased life and easy in-field adjustment with common hand tools.
Curved Boom
The excavator-style boom is built for optimum performance and durability. The curved design provides
additional clearance over obstacles while digging a trench or truck loading. The narrow boom enhances
the viewing area to the bucket and trench throughout the entire operating range.
Thumbs
Thumb mounting provisions are standard on every Cat Backhoe Loader for added machine versatility.
Hydraulic thumbs are available factory-installed. Mechanical thumbs are available through your
Cat Dealer.
