Zlin 388H Backhoe Front Loader with Excavator

The Zlin 388H Backhoe Front Loader combines a front wheel loader and a rear excavator in one machine, allowing operators to handle material loading, trench excavation, and site preparation without switching between separate machines. Its 2,500 kg rated load and 1.2 m³ front bucket make it suitable for handling soil, sand, gravel, and other bulk materials.

Powered by a 75 kW Yuchai diesel engine, the 388H features a 0.3 m³ rear digging bucket and a telescopic excavator arm for extended digging reach. The side-shift excavator boom provides additional positioning flexibility, while the four-forward and four-reverse transmission supports maneuvering across different operating areas.

With a maximum standard digging depth of 3.82 m and a maximum digging depth of 4.97 m with the telescopic arm extended, the Zlin 388H is a practical choice for contractors, equipment distributors, and businesses seeking a versatile backhoe loader for construction, road maintenance, drainage, and utility projects.

Wide Applications of the Zlin 388H Backhoe Loader

The Zlin 388H backhoe loader is designed for material handling, excavation, and general site preparation across a wide range of applications. Its front loader and rear excavator allow the same machine to switch between loading materials and digging trenches.

• Building and construction: Load sand, gravel, soil, and construction materials, and excavate foundations or drainage trenches.
• Road construction and maintenance: Move aggregates, clear loose materials, and excavate roadside drainage channels.
• Agriculture and land development: Level ground, move soil, and dig irrigation ditches.
• Water supply and utility installation: Excavate trenches for water pipes, cables, and underground utility lines.
• Municipal maintenance: Support landscaping, roadside repairs, and routine drainage maintenance.
• Material yards and small quarries: Load loose materials and transfer aggregates around storage and processing areas.

The Zlin 388H is particularly suitable for operations that require both loading and digging capabilities in a single machine, helping reduce the need to deploy separate loaders and excavators.
