Asphalt pavement demolition: Three Caterpillar 4468 Turbo excavator-loaders demolish pavement, load it on trucks, and compact backfill to repair soil support and base for street damaged by large leak and repair of water main below street. The Cat 4468 in the foreground is picking up asphalt pavement debris and underlying soil and loading it into the dump truck at rear right to be hauled away. The Allied Rammer S-26 hydraulic pavement breaker on the excavator/backhoe boom of the Cat 4468 in the midground breaks the asphalt pavement up in pieces that can be lifted and loaded into the truck. Waiting rear left is the third Cat 4486, which has a vibrating plate soil compactor on its excavator/backhoe boom to compact the earth backfill that will soon be placed in the hole being excavated. Montview Blvd, Fitzsimons/University of Colorado Hospital Campus, Aurora, Colorado, December, 2006.
Asphalt pavement demolition Allied Rammer S-26 hydraulic pavement breaker with round chisel bit, mounted on excavator/backhoe boom of Caterpillar 4468 Turbo excavator-loader punches holes through asphalt street pavement. The boom force on pavement breaker has raised the left outrigger of the machine.  Hole at mid right is excavation to repair large leak in water main under street. Current pavement demolition and removal continues excavation of soil whose structure and strength was damaged by water flow from leak. In left background is another Cat 4468 Turbo excavator-loader and a dump truck that will load and haul away the broken pavement and base. Montview Blvd, Fitzsimons/University of Colorado Hospital Campus, Aurora, Colorado, December, 2006.

Soil, earth construction: Caterpillar 426C diesel powered, wheel-mounted, backhoe/loader digging a trench, resting on outriggers and loader bucket, with all four wheels in the air. Huron Village Shopping Center, Ann Arbor, 2002.
Soil, earth construction: Ford 655E diesel powered 60 hp, wheel-mounted, backhoe/loader, 4-wheel drive with outriggers extended for stability, digging a trench. Huron Village Shopping Center, Ann Arbor, 2002.
Earthmoving, trenching, underground construction: Caterpillar 426C backhoe loader digging trench with backhoe. Machine is diesel powered with 4x4 drive. Operator's seat rotates from backhoe operation to loader operation. Backhoe windshield is open to provide good vision and ventilation. Machine is supported vertically by loader bucket and two outriggers, which lifts wheels off ground and provides stable support. Huron Village Shopping Center, Ann Arbor, 2002.
Earth moving construction, personnel lift: Construction equipment for rent at hardware store. Bobcat 763 loader with 1,500 lb/ 680 kg capacity, 46 hp/ 34 kw liquid-cooled diesel engine on left. Terramite T7 backhoe/loader excavator with with 26 hp diesel engine in center. Bil-Jax XLB-4319 articulating boom lift at right has 43 ft working height, 19 ft side outreach, 700 degree rotation, outriggers, and 450 lb capacity. Ann Arbor, Michigan December 2005
Ford 655C wheel mounted hydraulic backhoe/loader uses backhoe bucket to push trench overburden away from from the trench it just completed digging. Broadway Bridge approaches, Ann Arbor, 2003.
Soil, earth construction: Caterpillar 325L crawler mounted hydraulic boom backhoe excavator places soil fill behind and against the back side of soldier beam supported precast concrete panel retaining wall. Soil is compacted in 6" to 12" lifts/ layers by vibratory plate compactor. Caterpillar 950F wheeled tractor front end loader at rear left maintains soil pile so backhoe can easily fill its shovel to place soil behind wall. In right front is roll of geofabric that is used as inside liner for retaining wall. Huron Parkway, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 2005. Fill will be placed up to top of retaining wall, compacted in lifts specified by design, probably 6, 8, or 12 inches. Huron Parkway, Ann Arbor, 2005.
