Case 480C Backhoe Loader

The Case 480C backhoe loader was manufactured between 1978 and 1979. The Case 480C is equipped with a J.I. Case G188D 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. A 188 cubic inches engine has a cylinder bore of 3.81" (97 mm), piston stroke of 4.13" (105 mm), and rated power of 48 hp (35.6 kW).

The Dual Range Shuttle transmission includes a dry clutch with clutch disc diameter of 11" (280 mm), and synchronised shuttle shift gearbox with 8 forward and 8 reverse gears in high-low ranges. The maximum travel speed (forward and reverse): 20.3 mph (32.7 km/h) / 25 mph (40 km/h).

The open center hydraulic system includes a gear pump with a flow of 23.5 gpm (89 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 150 bar (2200 psi). The Case 480C backhoe loader was equipped with 7.50x16 or 11Lx16 front tyres and 14.9x24 or 17.5Lx24 rear tyres. The wheelbase is 80" (2030 mm).

The front end loader has a lift capacity (at pin) of 3000 lbs (1360 kg) to full height of 127.8" (3240 mm), and boom breakout force of 5700 lbs (2585 kg). The bucket dump clearance is 102.8" (2610 mm) at maximum dump angle of 42 degrees. The rated cycle times are 3.7 seconds raising to full height, and 2.1 seconds maximum bucket dumping. The loader is equipped with 74" (1880 mm) and 80" (2025 mm) buckets.

The backhoe operational data includes a bucket digging force of 6383 lbs (2895 kg) using standard stick or 6192 lbs (2810 kg) using extendable stick, and dipper digging force of 4484 lbs (2035 kg) using standard stick or 3213 lbs (1455 kg) using extendable stick. The max digging depth is 144" (3650 mm) for standard backhoe, and a reach from swing pivot is 187.2" (4750 mm) at ground level. The backhoe can be fitted with 12", 16", 18", 24" and 36" buckets.
