The Power of XCMG 85 Long Reach Boom for Wheel Excavators
Long Reach Boom Excavator: Unlock New Working Ranges for Your Job Site
For construction professionals, working range limitations are a constant challenge. Standard excavator arms can't always reach deep trenches, high demolition sites, or wide riverbanks. This is where a long reach boom becomes an essential upgrade. Our company has successfully tested a long reach boom on an XCMG 85 wheel excavator, featuring a 4.5-meter boom arm and a 2.9-meter stick, opening up new possibilities for a wide range of applications
What is a Long Reach Boom and Why Does It Matter?
A long reach boom is a specialized front attachment that extends the standard arm length of an excavator, significantly expanding its operating radius and depth capabilities. This simple yet powerful modification allows your excavator to handle tasks that would otherwise be impossible or require larger, more expensive machinery.
Based on our recent factory testing, the XCMG 85 wheel excavator fitted with a 4.5m boom and 2.9m stick delivers impressive reach while maintaining stability and control. This combination is ideal for a variety of demanding projects.
Key Applications of XCMG 85 with Long Reach Boom
Our testing confirms this configuration excels in several critical applications:
Application | How the Long Reach Boom Helps |
Deep Trench Excavation | Easily reaches deeper foundation pits and utility trenches without repositioning the machine. |
River Dredging and Canal Cleaning | Extends over water edges for efficient sediment removal and waterway maintenance. |
Slope Finishing and Landscaping | Provides the reach needed for highway embankments and large-scale landscaping projects. |
High Building Demolition (with attachments) | When equipped with a hydraulic breaker or shear, the longer arm enables safe demolition at height. |
Built for Performance and Durability
A long reach arm must be robust to handle the increased stresses. Our booms are manufactured using high-quality materials and precision engineering to ensure reliability and a long service life.
Premium Steel Construction: Made with Q345B or higher-grade steel for superior strength and rigidity.
Rugged Box Structure: The boom's box-section design, reinforced with internal buffers, effectively absorbs working stresses and prevents deformation.
Precision Welding & Machining: Advanced techniques like multi-layer welding and post-weld boring ensure precision and durability, minimizing the risk of cracking.
Easy Maintenance: Features like centralized grease lines make it simple to lubricate pivot points, extending component life
The "Long Arm, Strong Force" Advantage
One common concern with long reach booms is a loss of digging force. However, as seen with industry leaders like Sunward, a well-designed system ensures "long arm, strong force". Our XCMG 85 testing confirms that with proper engineering, the excavator retains excellent break-out and lifting forces, making it a truly versatile tool for your fleet.
Our custom long reach boom solution is not just about reaching further; it's about unlocking new jobs, improving worksite safety, and boosting your profitability. Contact us to learn how the XCMG 85 long reach boom can enhance your next project.
