How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various backhoe loader models based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Backhoe Loaders
Backhoe loaders are versatile construction machines combining a digging bucket at the front and a backhoe at the rear, widely used in construction, agriculture, and utility projects.
- Small Backhoe 60 HP: Light-duty tasks like landscaping and small trenching.
- Medium Backhoe 90 HP: General-purpose construction and roadwork.
- Large Backhoe 110 HP: Heavy-duty digging and material handling.
- Electric Backhoe: Zero-emission option suitable for urban projects.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Avoid excessive idling to reduce fuel waste.
- Perform regular maintenance to improve efficiency.
- Use correct gear and throttle for the load.
- Plan work to minimize unnecessary travel and digging.
