The Shanmon 388H backhoe loader is a versatile machine built for digging, loading, and material handling on construction sites. It comes in five configurations — Max, Super, Elite, Basic, and CE — to match different budgets and job requirements. For example, engine options include Yuchai, Weichai, Cummins, and Perkins. Moreover, the 388H can be equipped with a wide range of attachments including 4-in-1 bucket, 6-in-1 bucket, snow blade, pallet forks, hydraulic hammer, and auger.
Key Features
- Multiple engine options: Yuchai, Weichai, Cummins, and Perkins all fit the 388H. In addition, China II, China III, and Euro V emissions are available across the range.
- Carraro drivetrain (Max/Super/CE): Specifically, the Carraro electronic transmission and wet brake axles handle heavy-duty applications with ease.
- Advanced hydraulics: Meanwhile, the variable displacement system with up to 25 MPa pressure (Max/CE) delivers greater digging force and precise control.
- 4-wheel steering: This provides a tight turning radius for confined job sites. Furthermore, the ROPS/FOPS cab with air conditioning and backup camera comes standard on every configuration.
- CE certified configuration: The 388H CE version includes a CE certified cab, electrical system, seat, and markings, powered by a Weichai Euro V 74kW engine. It also adds a 360° surround view camera, engine hood silencer, pre-filter, boom pipe guard, stabilizer position sensor, and rear window defogger.
