BH130, Smart

OVERVIEW

Cat® Backhoes are used in typical backhoe applications such as digging footings, basements, and drainage ditches, utility trenching, back-filling, and maintaining slopes and embankments in construction, industrial, and landscaping settings. They are ideal for demolishing concrete when paired with Cat hammers.

BENEFITS

Smart Attachment

The BH130 Smart Backhoe does more than just turn an indicator light on in the cab; although it does that, too. The first step is attachment recognition. The D3 host machine recognizes that there is a BH130 attached to the machine. This activates a dedicated machine display to allow options for the BH130 to be selected. And as a Smart attachment, the BH130 allows for pattern change. That is, the existing machine joysticks are re-purposed to perform functions on the attachment.

Application

Used in typical backhoe applications such as digging footings, basements, and drainage ditches, utility trenching, back-filling, and maintaining slopes and embankments in construction, industrial, and landscaping settings.

Integrated Controls

Allows operator to use BH130 from within the safety of the cab, without the need to remove the door or any additional hardware.

Compatible with 3 Ton Excavator Attachments

Cat® 3-ton (35-35 mm pin diameter) excavator attachment can be easily used with the BH130.

Mode Selection/Toggle

With the BH130 Smart Backhoe attached, the host machine has two modes: Machine Control mode and Attachment Control Mode.

Auxiliary Hydraulics

Auxiliary hydraulic lines provide auxiliary flow to the end of the stick to operate Mini Hydraulic Excavator hammers, augers, ditch cleaning buckets, thumbs, and vibratory plate compactors.

Pattern Selection

Operator can easily switch the backhoe control pattern to their preference. (Backhoe-SAE, Excavator-ISO). A left lit mode light on the BH130 indicates Backhoe pattern mode, while a right lit mode light indicates excavator mode.

Thumb Mounting

The BH130 comes standard with thumb mounting provisions.

Hydraulic Side Shift

Operated hydraulically, the backhoe attachment can shift left and right quickly and easily without leaving the cab. Allows the backhoe to be used close to walls and other obstacles.
