In this study, stress analysis of a backhoe chassis was performed by using FEA. Construction industry is undoubtedly the backbone and propelling force behind our progress. In response to booming construction industry, utilization of earth moving equipment has increased considerably leading to high rate of failure. Backhoe Loader chassis is the skeleton of a commercial vehicles. The main function of the chassis is to support the different components like engine, cabin, transmission, front axle and rear axle. So it is necessary to analyze chassis to avoid failure while it is in working condition. Computer simulation techniques provides a great leverage in design optimization for weight reduction, better material utilization, shorter design cycles and elimination of major part of prototype testing.Static analysis of the chassis shows the equivalent stress and deformation contour when Backhoe Loader is in working condition. Aim of literature review is to find out high stress area at different load condition by stress minimized and weight reduction by giving design changes.
