Rhinoceros XN228 Backhoe Loader: Power, Durability, and Performance
Rhinoceros XN228 backhoe loader
At Rhinoceros, we are dedicated to engineering construction machinery that stands out in terms of power, reliability, and value for money. One of our leading models, the Rhinoceros XN228 Backhoe Loader, exemplifies this commitment. Designed with the needs of modern construction in mind, this machine offers a combination of strength, versatility, and high efficiency, making it a must-have for any serious construction project.
Superior Performance and Build
The Rhinoceros XN228 Backhoe Loader boasts an operating weight of 2280 kg, providing the balance between portability and stability. Equipped with a 0.27 m³ loading bucket capacity and a 0.04 m³ digging bucket capacity, this loader is designed to handle a wide range of materials and applications with ease. Whether you’re moving earth, lifting materials, or excavating trenches, the XN228 is built to perform.
Key to its performance is the high-efficiency Kubota D1105 engine, delivering 14 KW of power at 2200 rpm and a maximum torque of 70.3 N.m at 1600 rpm. This ensures robust power output while maintaining fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for projects that demand continuous performance without frequent fuel stops. Coupled with a maximum travel speed of 9.2 km/h, the XN228 is versatile enough to navigate between tasks with ease, minimizing downtime on the job site.
Exceptional Reach and Flexibility
The XN228’s operational range is tailored for demanding tasks that require precision and reach. Its maximum digging depth of 2500 mm and dumping height of 2300 mm allow it to handle tasks at varying elevations and depths, making it suitable for everything from foundation work to large-scale excavation projects. With a maximum digging radius at the excavation end of 3350 mm and an impressive maximum digging height of 3340 mm, this backhoe loader is equipped to tackle even the most challenging tasks.
For added maneuverability, the loader features a turning radius of 2890 mm, making it effective in tighter job sites. The 88° swing angle at the excavation end allows for smooth operation when repositioning is necessary, ensuring maximum worksite efficiency.
Precision and Control with Hydraulic Power
At the heart of the XN228’s precision lies its advanced hydraulic system. The plunger pump delivers 210 bars of working pressure, allowing for accurate control in challenging conditions. This high-pressure system ensures the loader can handle heavier loads and more demanding tasks while maintaining fluid, smooth operations. The hydraulic oil tank capacity of 50 liters ensures long-lasting performance, even in heavy-duty operations.
With a bucket hinge point height of 2520 mm and a maximum unloading angle of 53°, operators are granted precision control over material placement. This enhances overall work efficiency, especially in tasks that require repetitive loading or unloading.
Durability and Operator Comfort
Durability is a defining feature of all Rhinoceros loaders, and the XN228 is no exception. Built to withstand rugged terrains and continuous use, this backhoe loader features a robust frame and reliable components. The oil clamp disc driving brakes ensure maximum stopping power even under load, while the manual internal expansion hoof-type parking brake provides a secure hold during idle periods.
Despite its strength, the XN228 doesn’t compromise on operator comfort. The height from seat to ground is 1360 mm, providing excellent visibility and reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. With an overall height of 2540 mm and a cabin designed for ergonomic comfort, operators are equipped to work efficiently over extended periods.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility
As fuel efficiency becomes increasingly important in construction projects, the XN228 Backhoe Loader is engineered to minimize fuel consumption while maximizing output. Its 55-liter fuel tank capacity supports extended operation without frequent refueling, while the engine’s optimized performance delivers power only when needed. This balance ensures that the machine is not only cost-effective but also environmentally responsible, reducing emissions and fuel wastage.
