Summary: Excavators
with extended booms
Long reach excavators are a specialized type of
excavator designed with an extended boom and arm, giving them a significantly
greater working range compared to standard excavators. This extended reach
allows them to perform tasks at a distance or in locations that would be
inaccessible to conventional excavators.
Function: The primary benefit of long reach excavators is their ability to:
* Dig or dredge in deep
excavations or bodies of water.
* Demolish tall structures from
a safe distance.
* Reach over obstacles or
barriers.
* Perform maintenance on bridges
or other tall structures.
Design: The key modification is the extended boom and arm, which are
often reinforced to handle the increased stress. These extensions can
dramatically increase the excavator's reach, both horizontally and vertically.
Applications: Long reach excavators are commonly used in:
* Demolition of high-rise
buildings.
* Dredging rivers and lakes.
* Working on bridge construction
or repair.
* Environmental remediation projects.
