Versatile backhoe loaders that dig at one end and load at the other — ideal for trenching, backfilling, site clean-up and small earthworks where one machine must do several jobs.
Platinum Car Rental PLC rents backhoe loaders in Addis Ababa and across Ethiopia for trenching, loading trucks, backfilling and site clean-up. A backhoe digs with its rear arm and loads with its front bucket, so one machine covers several jobs on smaller sites. Hire is with an operator, by the hour, day, week or month.
01
A backhoe loader — often called a backloader or by the brand name JCB — combines a digging arm and a loading bucket on a wheeled chassis. It drives between sites on the road, works in tight urban plots and replaces two machines on smaller jobs. For deep or high-volume digging, an excavator is faster; for heavy loading, a wheel loader is.
02
Standard and 4x4 backhoe loaders are quoted on request, with options such as a hydraulic breaker for concrete, a 4-in-1 front bucket, and different rear bucket widths for trenches. Tell us what the job needs and we confirm the machine and attachments in writing.
03
Water, sewer and cable trenches; backfilling after foundations; loading tippers with soil and rubble; clearing and levelling small plots; road shoulder and drainage maintenance; and general site work for compounds, schools, clinics and condominium projects.

A backhoe loader has a digging arm at the back and a loading bucket at the front on wheels, so it can dig, load and drive between sites. An excavator digs deeper and faster but usually needs a low-bed to move. For small mixed jobs a backhoe is often the better value.
Short hires are possible within Addis Ababa because a backhoe drives to site. Any minimum hire period is stated in the quote.
