Our proven engines are tried and tested in the harshest environments. Dependant on regional requirements, our machines can be equipped to handle extreme cold and extreme heat (up to 50° C).
A dry type axial air cleaner with an integral precleaner and automatic integrated dust ejection system extends the life of the air filter when working in dusty conditions, reducing service time and costs.
Having somewhere to keep your tools is important on any machine, and that is why on the 428F we provide plenty of storage space in a secured external storage box.
A large 160 L non-metallic fuel tank in combination with the Cat engine and efficient hydraulic system ensures longer periods between fill ups and less inconvenience. The composite material prevents rust forming in the tank, protecting fuel injection components.
The 428F is protected by an undercoat of electro-deposited (E-Coat) primer, which completely seals each metallic component and offers a premium degree of protection from damage and corrosion. Coupled with the high solids polyurethane top coat, the 428F will stay looking good for longer, ensuring optimum resale value.
Meeting the new EU Stage IIIB emission standards, our new electronic C4.4 ACERT engine delivers a host of features and improvements.
For operators looking for more power, the C4.4 ACERT engine delivers up to 74.5 kW (101 hp), and 10% more torque.
Service free diesel particulate filter requires no operator interaction, with built-in self-cleaning. That's just one less thing to think about.
The heavy duty Cat axles fitted to the 428F have been designed to be used in the most arduous of conditions and the rear axle Differential Lock ensures that traction is maintained in all types of ground conditions.
Assisted brakes provide less pedal effort, for safer, more efficient braking. Dual brake pedals can be split for braking in tight corners.
This optional five-speed transmission will perfectly match itself to the application, carefully selecting the appropriate gear whether you're driving between job sites or charging into hard bank. To take full control of any situation, you can choose to select a gear manually with a simple twist of a hand lever. The spacing of the gears optimizes shift comfort, for exceptionally smooth acceleration.
Pressure compensated, well placed levers ensure low efforts and good controllability for maximum productivity. Mechanical levers for operating the backhoe can be configured to; Backhoe (SAE), Excavator (ISO) or universal controls (X pattern), ensuring all operators can get the most out of their 428F.
Switch between 2 wheel drive (2WD) and all wheel drive (AWD) using the three position drive selector. A third mode, 2WD with all wheel braking, activates AWD when braking and returns to 2WD when brake pedal is released, ensuring positive braking effort in hazardous driving conditions, and reduces tire wear.
The major interface between the machine and the operator, the air suspension seat, fitted as standard, provides the operator with a comfortable working platform to ensure high levels of productivity with the minimum of fatigue.
The cab is attached to the mainframe with resilient mounts, reducing vibration and sound providing the operator with an all round comfortable working environment.
The 428F has an easy access cab air filter, situated within the right hand rear fender. The cab air intake is positioned high up to minimize dust intake into the air filter.
The 428F can be equipped with a powerful air conditioning system, helping you keep cool when working in warm temperatures. The ventilation system also provides plenty of demisting, defrosting and heating capability.
Designed with performance in mind, the 428F has higher breakout forces, load over height and reach, making life easier for you when truck loading or shoveling. Parallel Lift Loader arms offer self-leveling as standard, providing safe lifting of any palletized load. Versatility is enhanced with the choice of a General Purpose or Multi Purpose bucket, and visibility is excellent with the lower hood line enabling a clear line of sight to the top of the bucket.
The Cat Ride Control system is an option designed to reduce machine pitching and bouncing, giving operators a smooth ride in all applications, including load and carry, roading, or simply moving around the job site. The system is engaged by a switch on the front console.
The 428F is equipped with a standard Return to Dig system. This system reduces loading cycle times by bringing the loader bucket back to the dig position automatically when lowering the arms. By the time the loader arms have been lowered to ground level, the bucket is in the correct position ready for the next load.
Whether close-up truck loading on a single road carriageway, or digging over obstacles such as walls, the excavator boom tackles the toughest jobs with ease. Combining versatility with the powerful breakout forces, the controllability of the load sensing, flow-sharing hydraulic system and the 428F is capable of producing high levels of productivity with the minimum of operator effort. The boom is a narrow design, ensuring maximum visibility to the work tool.
The 428F is available with an extendible stick that increases dig depth and reach capability increasing the machines versatility and utilization. A sliding inner section design keeps the wear pads out of the dirt, extending adjustment and replacement intervals. Auxiliary lines, for operating work tools, have been routed so that they are protected from damage when working in the narrowest of trenches.
The F Series cast slider frame has exterior lock clamps, with no backhoe disassembly needed when servicing. The Swing Frame/Boom Foot pins have replaceable bushings in the bores.
The 428F is equipped with Cat Cushion Swing, which enables very fast trenching by damping the boom oscillation down when returning to trench with the hoe.
Provides a hydraulic service to enable the operator to easily position the backhoe across the full width of the H-frame without the need to place the bucket on the ground. Ideal for use in utility applications such as gas, electrical, telecoms, etc.
It's rare that you'll be working at full production 100% of the time. So why should the machine be working flat out, using more fuel, making more noise, and increasing wear? The 428F has a load-sensing, closed center hydraulic system, which actively matches hydraulic power and flow to meet the demand needed by the task being performed. So whether you're trenching at full force, or delicately digging around services, you are in total control. As there is minimal demand on the system unless needed, there are less parasitic power losses, unlocking the true potential of the engine - providing better loading and roading performance.
The 428F features flow-sharing hydraulic valves, ensuring that the correct flow of oil reaches the implement cylinders, providing greater control and eliminating oil starvation when operating multiple functions.
The 428F is equipped with a highly efficient variable displacement piston pump. The reliable high performance hydraulic hose is constructed from two strong steel braided layers and O-Ring face seal fittings provides a robust system ensuring excellent durability and resistance to damage from pressure spikes and hydraulic pulsing.
The Backhoe Loader can be found in many different applications, and sometimes a bucket just won't do. Discuss your needs and wants with your dealer, and they will be able to recommend the right tool for the right application, giving you a tailored machine that's perfectly matched to your needs.
General Purpose and hydraulic Multi Purpose buckets are either Pin-on mounted or attached to the quick coupler. They can be fitted with either cutting edge or bolt on teeth. MP buckets are optional with fold over pallet forks.
