When it comes to maximizing the efficiency of your excavator, selecting the right long reach boom (extended arm) is essential. The right choice not only improves performance but also helps you tackle specialized projects safely and effectively.
Types of Extension Arms
Long Reach Front – Designed for extra digging depth and reach.
Two-Piece Boom – Flexible configuration, ideal for multiple applications.
Multi-Section Boom – Allows extended height and length for complex demolition or dredging tasks.
Each boom type can be selectively attached to a hydraulic excavator depending on the working height and project requirements.
Working Conditions for Extended Arms
1. Demolition
For high-rise or industrial demolition, an extended arm length of 18m–40m combined with Hydraulic Shear, Rotating Sorting Grapple, and Manual Grapple delivers maximum efficiency and safety.
2. River & Dredging Operations
Extended arms are widely used for river cleaning, dredging, and waterway maintenance on both land and barge.
-
Recommended configuration: 18m–40m extended arm + Hydraulic Shear + Grapples.
3. Pile Driving
When equipped with an 8m extended arm + pile driver, excavators become highly efficient for steel sheet piles, steel pipe piles, and long slender precast concrete piles.
-
Best suited for sandy ground; less effective in clay unless using higher-powered machines.
4. Infrastructure & Foundation Excavation
For basements, deep foundation digging, ditches, levee construction, and pond maintenance, the ideal setup is:
-
8m extended arm + General Purpose (GP) bucket.
5. Drainage Canal Construction & Maintenance
For canal projects that require both reach and precision, the best configuration is:
-
12m–18m extended arm + mud bucket
