The Zlin 16-60 Mini Backhoe combines the functions of a backhoe and a front loader in one compact machine, making it suitable for jobs that require both excavation and material handling. Its design focuses on practical performance, maneuverability, and versatility for small and medium-sized work sites.

37 kW Diesel Power

The Zlin 16-60 is powered by a 37 kW Yunnei YN25GB diesel engine with direct injection and four cylinders. The engine provides the power required for excavation, loading, and daily material-handling operations while maintaining a compact machine layout.

Efficient Digging Performance

The rear backhoe provides a maximum digging depth of 2,000 mm, a maximum digging radius of 2,700 mm, and a maximum digging height of 3,300 mm. With a maximum digging force of 25 kN, the machine is suitable for trenching, foundation work, landscaping, and general excavation tasks.

Practical Loading Capacity

The front loader is equipped with a 0.5 m³ bucket and provides a 36 kN maximum breakout force. Its 2,800 mm maximum dumping height allows the machine to handle common loading tasks such as moving soil, sand, gravel, and other bulk materials.

4WD and Good Maneuverability

The four-wheel-drive system, 25° maximum gradeability, and 33° steering angle provide useful mobility on uneven job sites. With a minimum turning radius of 3,500 mm, the Zlin 16-60 can also work in relatively confined areas.

Compact and Multifunctional Design

With overall dimensions of 5,500 × 1,750 × 2,650 mm and a minimum ground clearance of 250 mm, the machine offers a balance between working capability and compact dimensions. One machine can perform both excavation and loading tasks, reducing the need to use separate machines for different operations.

The Zlin 16-60 Mini Backhoe is designed for jobs that require both digging and loading capabilities in a compact machine. With its 2,000 mm digging depth, 0.5 m³ loader bucket, 4WD system, and compact dimensions, it can be used across a variety of construction and maintenance applications.

Construction and Site Preparation

The backhoe can be used for foundation excavation, trenching, site preparation, soil removal, and material loading on residential and small commercial construction sites. Its digging and loading functions allow operators to switch between excavation and material-handling tasks with one machine.

Agricultural Work

For farms and agricultural properties, the Zlin 16-60 can assist with drainage trenches, irrigation projects, soil handling, land preparation, and farm road maintenance. Its 4WD configuration provides useful traction when working on uneven or unpaved ground.

Landscaping and Groundwork

The compact backhoe loader is suitable for landscaping, garden construction, tree planting, soil preparation, and small-scale earthmoving. Its relatively compact dimensions and 3,500 mm minimum turning radius make it practical for jobs where working space is limited.

Road and Municipal Maintenance

The machine can support roadside drainage, trench excavation, road maintenance, material loading, and municipal utility work. The combination of a rear digging attachment and front loading bucket allows it to handle different stages of a maintenance project.

Utility and Pipeline Work

The backhoe can be used for utility trenching and installation-related groundwork, including excavation for water lines, drainage systems, cables, and other underground infrastructure. The 2,000 mm maximum digging depth provides useful working capability for many shallow and medium-depth trenching applications.

Material Handling

With a 0.5 m³ front bucket and 2,800 mm maximum dumping height, the Zlin 16-60 can load and move common bulk materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and construction debris, depending on the material density and operating conditions.

Why It Fits These Applications

The key advantage of the Zlin 16-60 is its two-in-one working capability. Instead of using a separate excavator and loader for basic excavation and loading tasks, contractors can use one compact backhoe loader for both operations. This makes it particularly relevant for projects where equipment flexibility, mobility, and efficient use of working space are important.

The Zlin 16-60 is equipped with a reliable Yunnei diesel engine, providing dependable power for daily construction work. Its hydraulic transmission and four-wheel-drive system work together to deliver smooth operation, good traction, and stable mobility on construction sites and uneven ground.

The backhoe digging system is designed for trenching, foundation excavation, utility work, and other digging applications. Its 400 mm digging bucket and wide swing range provide controlled and flexible excavation, while the front loader system is suitable for loading, lifting, and moving soil, sand, gravel, and other materials. The combination of front loading and rear digging functions allows one machine to handle multiple tasks.

The hydraulic system and steering system are designed for responsive control and efficient operation. The compact machine layout and relatively small turning radius make the Zlin 16-60 easy to maneuver in construction sites, roadsides, landscaping projects, and other areas where working space is limited.
