The firm claims that its B877F backhoe loader is efficient and versatile, with plenty of power and a high degree of manoeuvrability, allowing it to handle a wide range of applications.
The
The B877F has an improved loader linkage system, which is said to boost breakout force, while the machine has a 1m3 capacity loader bucket as standard. Improved kinematics are said to make it easier to anchor the machine when using the excavator bucket. The new model also offers better control of the excavator arm when repositioning, better stability and more efficient excavating. The upgraded model offers a 55° steering angle, providing better manoeuvrability for working in confined areas.
Customers can purchase the B877F with either a multipurpose or general purpose loader bucket, together with an extendable or standard arm. The firm also says that there is a wide range of attachments to choose from, such as various sizes of excavator buckets and flip over forks, while the B877F can be equipped with additional hydraulics if needed.
The new engine is a 70kW Yuchai diesel, with the same power as the previous unit but greater torque. The new engine is said to supply the hydraulic system with a constant flow, providing the operator with a reliable power supply for extended durations.
Access to the engine is made easier through a larger, rear-hinged engine hood. To make maintenance easier, the filters and water separator have been grouped in the engine compartment. The B877F has also been fitted with a larger radiator, with an ambient temperature of 50°C. This improved cooling capacity offers better performance in the hot climates experienced in the Middle Eastern and African markets. Access to this high-capacity radiator is also made easier via the large hood opening.
The B877F’s new, spacious cab provides the operator with excellent visibility around the machine, as well as greater space for turning between the loader and excavator operating positions. The ergonomic cab also features a streamlined layout and design of the machine’s controls, a new handbrake design, and a new parking brake that is easier to operate and has better brake force. Additionally, the differential lock switch has been moved from the side panel to the floor, resulting in easier use for the operator.
The air conditioning has been improved for this model, too. Outlets from the ceiling provide 30% increased cooling capacity and a 120% improvement in blowing speed than previous-generation machines. This results in faster cooling of the cab and a much more comfortable operator environment.
The new B877F is now available through SDLG’s expansive network of dealerships and service workshops throughout Africa and the Middle East.
