Description
The Backhoe is a piece of construction equipment that is rarely seen on the battlefield. Usually found on IndustrialMechs and vehicles used for construction the backhoe is simply a large metal bucket on an articulated arm that is used for excavation. This allows construction companies to quickly move soil to create basements, ditches, hills, and otherwise modify the terrain.[5]
