Also, used in mining are crushing attachments for crushing and screening minerals. In material handling, primary machines of backhoe loaders and excavators can be used to perform special application with the help of attachments in job yards, including scrap yards, port handling and log yards. <br /><br />Backhoe loaders are the most popular construction equipment in India with almost 50 per cent of the CE market.
