Long Reach Excavators

Long reach excavators feature an extended boom and arm that provide significantly greater working reach than a conventional excavator. Rather than increasing digging force, the additional reach allows operators to work safely from stable ground while accessing difficult or hazardous areas. They are commonly used for dredging, river and canal maintenance, slope stabilisation, demolition, deep excavation, and embankment construction where access is restricted or extended reach is required.
