Quick Guide: How Backhoes are Manufactured?
You can hardly miss a backhoe loader in any construction site. While all you see is a magnificent machine, have you ever wondered the process that culminates in bringing all the JCB backhoe parts together to form one functioning piece of equipment?
JCB backhoe parts are basically a loader on the front section and a bucket at the rear side. In case the equipment operator wants to operate either device (the bucket and the loader), he simply turns his chair around and maneuvers the controls on each end.
As we look at the procedures that come together to produce the end product, first we have to learn some other aspects that make the process possible.
Raw Materials
The subassemblies that are sourced from these companies include the body/chassis, the rear and front axles, the engine, and transmission. Other parts include the bucket, the boom plus other segments.
The Manufacturing Process
Sourcing and Assembling the Parts
It is safe to say that the manufacturing process begins immediately once the sub-assemblies are received by the manufacturer. After the unloading and inventory-taking, the components are taken to different work areas where there is additional assembling to produce more complete segments.
Case in point, when assembling the canopy-type cab, all the components will start at a workstation and all the oil will be cleaned. A robotic welder then tack-welds one side of the canopy and welds it firmly. In the meantime, the operator handling the sub-assembly loads the segments for the other part of the canopy. After all the welding is completed, the fully-assembled canopy shell is conveyed to its next stage.
Next, the backhoe casting is machined into a moveable machining complex controlled by computers. After the bearings needed at pivot sectors (bushings) are fitted, the backhoe subassembly goes to the next stage.
Painting and Curing
As the subassemblies are passed to the painting sections where there are two processes. Firstly, the subassembly is generously painted electrically with a protective layer of paint or an e-coat. Afterward, painters put on the final coat of paint manually, especially in areas where the initial coat wasn't applied well.
From here, the subassemblies have been painted and they go on to the curing stage. During curing, the subassemblies are conveyed into ovens and they are heated so that the paint can be cured.
Radiator and Hydraulic Cylinders
The cylinders are passed through a dedicated paint process where they are subjected to e-coating, manually painted by hand and finally oven-cured.
This is the stage where connections are added. Here, the other subassemblies including fuel and lubrication systems plus cooling are linked to the lines, valves, and pumps.
Final Assembly
All the subassemblies are brought together in the assembly area. On each assembly cart, the chassis is placed with both rear and front axles. The canopy/cab is meanwhile assembled elsewhere and when ready, it is conveyed to the chassis and attached.
All the other segments are mounted on the chassis (including the radiator, engine, transmission and hydraulic systems). The two large components, the loader, and backhoe are usually the last to be mounted. Other processes that have to be completed include the electrical system, installation of handles and body rails, plus the trim.

Raw Materials
While manufacturing a backhoe, the JCB spare parts manufacturer in Faridabad sources the various parts used in assembling the equipment from different firms. These sub-contractors have specialized in diverse industries including hydraulics and the fabrication of metal.
