ZLIN 388T Backhoe Loader: Loading and Excavation in One Machine

The ZLIN 388T Backhoe Loader combines a front loader bucket and a rear excavator arm, allowing operators to handle material loading, trench excavation, and site preparation with a single machine. Its 75 kW engine and 1.0 m³ front bucket make it suitable for a variety of construction and material handling applications.

With a rear bucket capacity of 0.3 m³ and a maximum digging depth of up to 4,500 mm, the 388T can handle drainage trenches, utility installations, foundation preparation, and other general excavation tasks. The four-forward, four-reverse transmission supports flexible movement between loading and digging areas.

A backhoe loader offers a practical alternative to using separate loading and excavating machines, helping reduce equipment changes and simplify transport between sites.

Wide Applications of the ZLIN 388T Backhoe Loader

The ZLIN 388T is designed for projects that require both material handling and excavation. Its front loader and rear digging attachment make it suitable for construction, municipal maintenance, agricultural infrastructure, and general earthmoving operations.
