1. The tractor
2. The loader – attached to the front of the tractor
3. The backhoe – attached to the rear of the tractor by a hinge arrangement which allows the boom and bucket assembly to swing to the right and left
Three basic components of a loader/backhoe
Stabilizers are attached to each side of the backhoe to provide stability when the boom swings side to side.

1. When the boom is in operation, no one should be within the swing area of the backhoe.
2. If a worker has to enter the danger zone they MUST make eye contact with the operator before entering.
3. The operator must stop the backhoe and signal that it is safe to enter.
4. The operator should not move the backhoe until the worker is out of the danger zone.

Excavation Hazards
1. Always determine the location of all underground utilities and buried hazards.
2. Avoid setting stabilizer or spoil too close to the edge of a trench.
Worksites need to have proper barriers/barricades to prevent unauthorized personnel and vehicles from entering the work area.
Controlling Worksite Access

1. Experienced operators should be loading and unloading the machine.
2. The transporting vehicle’s wheels should be blocked on both sides to prevent it from moving during the loading and unloading process.
3. Ensure the swing lock pin is engaged.
4. Tie-down chains should be attached to the machine to prevent it from moving.
5. Always refer to your operator’s manual for transporting information.
