Backhoe Loaders: A Customer’s Perspective

Roy Chipley, owner of Chipley Company and a Cat customer for 13 years, uses Backhoe Loaders for their versatility, particularly when pairing them with Cat Work Tool attachments.

He uses:

  • Buckets for moving materials
  • Angle brooms for cleaning up the job site
  • Forks for moving pallets, material, and structures

Roy Chipley explains, "With the backhoe, I'm able to take and cover a very large area with a wheeled machine versus a track machine. If I need to get across a 20 acre site to move something quickly, I need a backhoe loader...It has the lifting capacity, it has the pushing capacity, it has the four wheel drive capability to maneuver on any site that we are covering.”
