388T Backhoe Loader

The 388T is an 8.6 t backhoe loader with a 1.0 m³ loading bucket and a choice of Perkins, Weichai or Yuchai engines, balancing working performance with ease of maintenance.

Power & Transmission

Standard power is the Tier 5/Euro 5 Perkins 904J-E36TA (4 cylinders, 3.6 L, rated 74.5 kW at 2400 rpm, max torque 430/450 N·m), with Weichai and Yuchai options. The Carraro axle (26.22-1920 / 28.43M-1654) is paired with a TLB1-4WD gearbox and Carraro torque converter; the fixed-shaft powershift transmission has 4 forward and 4 reverse gears, and top speed is 39 km/h.

Digging & Loading

The loading end carries a 1.0 m³ bucket with 2.5 t lift capacity, 47 kN breakout force and a 2807 mm dump height. The backhoe uses a 0.3 m³ bucket reaching 4303–5246 mm of dig depth (two boom configurations) and 4084–4720 mm of dump height, with 49.8 kN bucket force and a 180° swing angle.

Hydraulics & Serviceability

Digging and loading circuits both run at 20 MPa, and wet in-axle service brakes are self-adjusting and self-balancing. The integrated rear-tilt hood opens wide for daily service and repairs. Operating weight is 8.6 t.

Product Advantages

• Carraro drive axle and gearbox.
• FOPS & ROPS integral cab.
• The excavating working device adopts hydraulic sliding, which is more convenient to operate.
• The optional vehicle stabilization system reduces bumps during driving and increases comfort.
• The integrated rear-tilt hood is convenient for opening, maintenance and repair.

Typical Applications

Municipal pipeline work, trenching and earthmoving on construction sites, hammer applications (optional hydraulic breaker), farm and water-conservancy jobs, and material handling.
