Case 480 CK Backhoe Loader

The Case 480CK is a 2WD (4x2) backhoe loader from Construction King series. This model was manufactured between 1960 and 1969. The Case 480 CK is powered by 188 cu.in (3.1 L) J.I. Case G188D 4-cylinder liquid-cooled naturally aspirated diesel engine with a rated power of 41.5 Hp (30.9 kW), or 148 cu.in (2.4 L) 4-cylinder liquid-cooled gasoline engine with a rated power of 38.5 Hp (28.7 kW).

The Case 480CK is fitted with two transmission options: 4x4 synchronized transmission with mechanical shuttle, or 8x8 synchronised shuttle shift transmission.

The max travel speed (forward/reverse): 17.3 mph (27.7 kph) and 21.6 mph (34.6 kph). The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with fluid flow rate of 17.5 gal/min (66.5 l/min). The hydraulic pressure is 138 (2000) for backhoe and 120 bar (1750 psi) for loader. The Case 480CK is fitted with 7.50x16 or 6.50x16 front tires and 14.9x24 or 13.6x24 rear tires. The wheelbase is 77.2" (1960 mm) for gasoline models, and 78.4" (1990 mm) for diesel models.

The loader’s max lift height is 128.3" (3245 mm) at pin, and clearance with bucket dumped is 99.4" (2515 mm). The lift capacity is 2200 lb (1000 kg) at full height (pivot pin), and bucket's breakout force is 5500 lb (2500 kg). The raising cycle time is 5 seconds from ground level to max height, and bucket dumping time is 1.8 seconds. Compatible buckets for the loader: 63" (1600 mm) and 73" (1845 mm) buckets.

The backhoe has a bucket dig force of 6870 lbs (3120 kg), maximum digging depth of 148" (3810 mm), and overall reach from swing pivot of 185" (4680 mm) at ground line. The backhoe is compatible with a 12", 16", 18", 24", 30" and 36" buckets.
