With the diversification of infrastructure projects, rising labor costs and complex construction scenarios, Backhoe Loader with dual functions of excavation and loading are becoming a new equipment choice for heavy industry enterprises. SECSUN data shows that the average annual growth rate of heavy industry's two-end loaders is 35%, and the cumulative sales will exceed 700 units by the end of 2025. Products such as the SC388 series are also sold overseas due to their high cost performance, confirming the explosive growth of this market segment.

      Multifunctional integration solves cost dilemma

      "One piece of equipment can serve two purposes, which is the core reason why we choose to work on both ends." said the person in charge of procurement of a company. In traditional construction, excavators and loaders are required for excavation and loading operations respectively. Not only does the procurement cost increase by more than 50%, but hidden expenses such as equipment transportation and site occupation also remain high. The two ends of the loader are busy through the integrated design of front shovel and rear digging. The operator only needs to rotate the seat 360 degrees to switch operating modes and complete complex tasks such as trench excavation, material transfer, and site leveling.

      The cost advantage is more reflected in long-term operations. SECSUN Backhoe Loader can replace the workload of multiple workers in daily work.It saves more than 20% of energy compared with traditional equipment combinations, making it a cost-effective choice for small and medium-sized engineering contractors.

      SECSUN SC388 flexibly adapted to meet the needs of complex working conditions

      The construction scenarios of heavy industry enterprises are becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from municipal maintenance of narrow lanes in cities to infrastructure construction of wind power projects in mountainous areas, which place higher requirements on equipment mobility and passability. Backhoe Loader adopts a high-strength manganese steel articulated frame design. According to actual measurements by a third-party testing agency, the minimum turning radius is ≤3.45 meters ≤ 3.5 meters. With a full-time four-wheel drive system and a ±15° swingable rear axle, the grounding ratio is as low as 0.08MPa. It can stably pass through rugged terrain with a slope of 25° under full load conditions. At the same time, the body width of this type of machine is controlled within 2.18 meters, and the ground clearance reaches 285mm. With folding side digging arms, it can smoothly enter narrow lanes, workshops and rural trails with a width of ≥2.5 meters.

      The daily workload of a single SECSUN SC388 is equivalent to three pieces of single-function equipment, and it can efficiently complete silt cleaning and drainage channel excavation. In scenarios such as mine tunnels and rural residential construction, its compact body and folding side excavation function solve the problem of large equipment being unable to enter the site. "From cable laying to farmland water conservancy, one piece of equipment can cover 80% of basic engineering needs." The technical person in charge of SCESUN Machinery Co., Ltd. said that some models can also be equipped with auxiliary tools such as breakers and grabs to realize the in-depth expansion of one machine with multiple functions.

      Technology iteration enhances core competitiveness

      In recent years, Backhoe Loader's technological upgrades have continued to accelerate, getting rid of the shortcomings of early products that were "large and comprehensive but not specialized". In terms of power system, SECSUN adopts high-power engines from Cummins, combined with dual hydraulic pumps and interactive induction systems, to simultaneously improve the excavation force and loading efficiency, and the excavation depth can reach 3-5 meters.

      Humanized design and reliability optimization have become the focus of enterprise competition. Configurations such as suspended shock-absorbing rotating seats, fully hydraulic steering, and air-cap oil braking systems reduce operating intensity; while the modular component layout and simplified maintenance procedures significantly reduce the equipment failure rate and increase the average trouble-free working time by more than 30%. SECSUN Heavy Machinery Company has passed ISO9001 quality certification and CCC certification, and its product durability and safety have been recognized by the industry, further consolidating market trust.

      SECSUN Future and development direction

      Under the industry trend of "mechanization replacing manpower", SECSUN has been forging ahead and constantly striving to innovate.SECSUN Backhoe Loader is in line with the policy guidance of improving quality and efficiency in the infrastructure industry. The advancement of national new rural construction, new urbanization and other projects has provided it with a wide range of application scenarios; and in the context of stricter environmental protection policies, its energy-saving characteristics are more in line with green construction requirements.

      The expansion of overseas markets is also gaining momentum. Julang 388 series and other products are exported to many countries and regions around the world with their customization capabilities and mature foreign trade channels. Industry insiders predict that with the integration of intelligent technology and new energy power, loaders will be upgraded in the direction of precise control, low noise and environmental protection, and will continue to lead the multi-functional construction machinery market.

      Idling Phase: Start the engine and let it idle for 5–10 minutes (longer in temperatures below -10°C) to gradually warm the engine, hydraulic system, and undercarriage. Never rev the engine immediately—this strains cold components.Cycle Hydraulic Functions: After idling, slowly operate the boom, arm, and bucket through full ranges of motion 3–5 times. This circulates warm hydraulic fluid, preventing pressure buildup and ensuring smooth operation.
