The Role of Backhoe Loaders at Construction Sites
Backhoe loaders are a heavy piece of machinery that is driven by an operator from within the cab of the backhoe. The arm and bucket are moved using hydraulics to pick up and haul large amounts of material.
Backhoe loaders can be described as the workhorse of the construction site. They do a large amount of heavy lifting via digging, loading, and lifting of material. They can excavate trenches, prepare foundations, and handle large amounts of construction material at a time.
These machines are extremely versatile. They’re able to be precisely and accurately controlled by the driver over difficult terrain and to excavate hard to reach areas. Backhoe loaders are built robustly to dig with extreme power while navigating areas made of loose sand, soil, or even compacted clay.
They can be used for a variety of projects and can cut work times in half. Rather than utilizing the crew and depleting their energy, you can use a backhoe to load trucks, stockpile material, or haul and move material throughout the job site!

I was an on-road truck driver, but decided to get off the road so I could be home and I chose Redstone. I started in the transportation dept and have moved to the AA quarry driving haul trucks, water trucks, and trying different things. It's been rewarding and I've enjoyed my time here!

Being on the RedStone team is different because of the way everybody works together and there is no job too big or small. It feels like a family environment.

The Benefits of Using a Backhoe Loader
With their versatile uses, strength to haul large loads of material, and ability to increase job site safety, backhoe loaders play an essential role on a job site.
A single backhoe loader can handle multiple jobs a day, allowing the rest of the crew to handle other projects, and to preserve their energy. Plus, since backhoe loaders can take on the work of multiple men or women, the need for manual labor is minimized, which in turn lowers the risk of accidents and injuries.
Additionally, the use of backhoe loaders also saves time and money for a crew! A single crew member can operate a backhoe loader, the rest of the crew can divide and conquer other tasks. Since a backhoe loader is a versatile piece of equipment, it can be used for a variety of projects! This means a crew won’t need to use multiple pieces of equipment on a jobsite if it isn’t necessary.
All in all, backhoe loaders are indispensable on a job site, making them a Redstone favorite.
