SDLG has launched a new backhoe loader for the Middle Eastern and African markets, the SDLG B877F. Available as of October, this F-series, sideshift backhoe loader is half a tonne lighter than its predecessor, the B877, and features a new engine, greater cab space, and enhanced cooling capacity, as well as state-of-the-art loader linkage and other improvements, according to the company.

Henrik Sj?strand, Product Manager, SDLG, said, ?SDLG backhoe loaders always receive a great deal of interest in the Middle East and Africa, and for good reason, they are extremely versatile and efficient machines. Whether you?re operating the loader or the excavator, the new B877F has the power and manoeuvrability to handle almost any job. Those looking for a high-performing, reliable, easily operable and cost-effective backhoe loader need to look no further than SDLG.?

The B877F is equipped with an improved loader linkage system to provide excellent breakout force, and it comes with a 1 cu m capacity loader bucket as standard. The kinematics have been improved as it is now easier to anchor the machine when using the excavator bucket. It also offers better control of the excavator arm when re-positioning, better stability and more efficient excavating. The new model also features a 55-degree steering angle, providing excellent manoeuvrability that is particularly advantageous when working in confined areas.

The B877F is fitted with a 70 kW Yuchai, manufactured by Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd. The Yuchai features the same power as the machine?s previous engine, but it offers much higher torque. The B877F?s new, spacious cab provides the operator with excellent visibility around the machine, as well as greater space for turning between the loader and excavator operating positions.

The new B877F is now available through SDLG?s network of dealerships and service workshops throughout Africa and the Middle East.
