The Cat® 422F2 Backhoe Loader delivers performance, increased fuel efficiency, superior hydraulic system and an all new operator station.
The 422F2 is fitted with mechanical controls providing low effort operation, with the ability to choose between ISO (Excavator) or SAE (Backhoe) control patterns. Providing easy and safe operation for operators of any experience or ability.
The 422F2 boasts a constant mesh, synchronized 4 forward and 4 reverse mechanical transmission. Capable of speeds up to 40 km/h, directional changes are made from the column mounted shuttle and gear changes using the floor mounted shift lever.
Hydraulic boosted brakes are featured as standard on the 422F2. The hydraulic assistance reduced operator effort. The system produces the same braking performance, with less force exerted, resulting in quicker braking reactions and less operator fatigue.
Whether close-up truck loading or digging over obstacles, the iconic excavator style boom tackles the toughest jobs with ease. Combine this versatility with powerful breakout forces, controllability, a flow-sharing hydraulic system and the 422F2 is capable of high levels of productivity with minimum effort. The boom is a narrow design, ensuring maximum visibility to the work tool and ground.
The 422F2 is available with an extendible stick that increases dig depth and reach capability increasing the machines versatility and utilization, reducing the amount of machine repositioning and therefore reducing site damage. A sliding inner section design helps to ensure the wear pads remain as dirt free as possible, extending adjustment and replacement intervals. Auxiliary lines, for operating hydraulic work tools, have been routed so that they are protected from damage when working in the narrowest of trenches.
The F2 Series Side Shift Frame has exterior locking clamps, with no disassembly needed when servicing. The frame is a solid design with E-Coat protection, this prevents material build up in the frame and reduces the risk of rust, increasing the life of the frame.
The 422F2 is equipped with Cat Cushion Swing, which enables very fast trenching by damping the boom oscillation during trenching cycles.
Provides a hydraulic service to allow the operator to easily position the backhoe across the full width of the Side Shift Frame. Ideal for use in areas with minimal space and utility applications such as gas, electrical, and telecoms.
General Purpose loader buckets are available as well as the hydraulically operated Multi Purpose bucket. These come in a range of sizes from 0.96 m3 to 1.3 m3.
Manual or hydraulic backhoe couplers make rear tool exchange quick, easy and safe. New Cat dual lock couplers have a self adjusting wedge design to ensure a tight fit. They also feature a safety lock which automatically engages.
