A backhoe loader, also known as loader backhoe, digger in layman's terms, or colloquially shortened to backhoe within the industry, is a heavy machinery vehicle that consists of a tractor like unit fitted with a shovelbucket on a small backhoe on the back and big on the front.Because of its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very much used in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc.).
