388 Backhoe Loader

The 388 is an 8.2 t backhoe loader rated at 75 kW with a 1.0 m³ loading bucket. Loading in front and digging at the rear, one machine covers municipal construction, pipeline trenching, farm and water-conservancy earthwork.

Power & Transmission

A Yuchai YC4A105Z-T20 turbocharged engine (4 cylinders, 4.8 L, rated 75 kW at 2200 rpm, max torque 400 N·m) is matched with a YJ290 single-stage three-element torque converter and a fixed-shaft powershift transmission with 4 forward and 4 reverse gears. Feicheng axles deliver 76 kN of max traction and a top speed of 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 3967 mm of dig depth, with 50 kN bucket force, 31 kN stick force and a 180° swing angle; the side-shift boom makes trench work alongside walls easier.

Travel & Brakes

Full hydraulic steering (BZZ-250 steering unit, 39° steering angle) keeps the turning radius at 6581 mm. Service brakes are air-over-oil caliper disc type (external, self-adjusting, self-balancing) with a manual parking brake. Overall dimensions are 6050×2465×3813 mm on a 2280 mm wheelbase.

Product Advantages

• Integral frame gives the whole machine good stability and makes it more suitable for excavation work.
• The excavating working device is side-shift type, high strength and good structural stability; the loading end working device adopts an eight-bar linkage mechanism.

Typical Applications

Municipal pipeline excavation and backfill, trenching and earthwork on construction sites, farm and water-conservancy renovation, landscaping, road maintenance and small demolition jobs.
