The long arm is equipped with a set of oil cylinder operating system to provide power for the movement of the oil cylinders. All of these designs double the working range of the bucket, which can go higher, deeper and further. The great improvements make the long-arm excavator an especial digging tool for minerals, docks, storage and emergency rescue, which has great practical value.    Long Reach Arm and Boom To be specific, the long-arm digger has the following advantages:   1. Wider Applications   The long arm can work in the tough and extreme working environment where other excavators can ’ t reach. This unique advantage makes it reliable enough to handle various constructions.   2. Higher Standard   Strict technology and examination standards have been set to manufacture this machine, which guarantees...

  If you're not familiar with excavators, or if you use product manuals to specify a machine, these boom tips may be helpful the next time you're in the market for a machine for a specific application.   Long-Reach Boom:   Long-reach booms  are great for cleaning out ponds and canals — jobs where you’re digging out in the water and need the extra reach. Boom length varies based on manufacturer and machine model. For example, the long-reach version of the Volvo EC380 excavator is 27′ 11″ (8.5 m) compared to the 21′ 2″ (6.45 m) standard boom and 16′ 5″ (5 m) arm that provides a max reach of 48′ 5″ (14.75 m). Mono Boom (Standard Boom):  This is what we call the standard setup - it offers good coverage and the right range of bucket sizes and is by far the most popular setup. Some customers use mass excavation setups, which are shorter moving arms and shorter bucket bars.  Long-Reach Boom Two-piece booms:  Two-piece booms are very versatile and can actually...

Excata  should not be used under any circumstances for the lifting of persons as they are primarily designed for excavating with a bucket and consequently are capable of operating speeds and movements which make them totally unsuitable for the lifting of persons.   Access to height on construction sites should be by machines designed for the purpose of lifting persons such as MEWPs, mast climbing work platforms, suspended access platforms or passenger/goods hoists, or by the use of scaffolds.   In special cases where an approach by less dangerous means is not reasonably feasible, a suitable crane with a manned basket may be used. The regulation requires lifting operations to be properly planned, properly supervised, and carried out in a safe manner, and this includes the use of earthmoving machinery for lifting operations.   Supervisors should first carry out a risk assessment, which includes ensuring that the earthmoving machinery is suitable for the task, that ther...
