New & used long boom excavators & long reach excavators for sale in UAE

Long boom excavators & long reach excavators for sale in UAE

A long boom excavator (also called a long reach excavator) is built for jobs standard excavators can't reach: an extended arm and boom configuration that adds significant horizontal and vertical range, without adding digging force close to the machine. Makana's UAE inventory covers long boom excavators for specialized reach-critical work, fully inspected and ready to work.

What Long Boom Excavators Are Used For

• Canal and river dredging: Extended reach for material removal from waterways without positioning the machine in the water.
• Deep foundation and utility work: Digging depths beyond what a standard boom configuration can safely achieve.
• High-reach demolition: Working on tall structures or over obstacles from a safe standoff distance.
• Slope and embankment work: Reaching across slopes or water bodies where standard machine positioning isn't possible.

New, Unused, and Used: How to Choose the Right Long Boom Excavator

When evaluating a specific machine, check:

1. Boom and arm condition: The extended structure carries more stress than a standard configuration, inspect welds and pin points carefully.
2. Hydraulic reach and lift capacity: Confirm the specific boom length matches your reach requirements, since long boom units vary significantly by configuration.
3. Undercarriage and stability: Extended reach shifts the machine's center of gravity, so undercarriage condition matters more than on standard excavators.
4. Hours and maintenance history: Specialized machines often see intensive use in demanding applications, so documented servicing is critical.

FAQs About Long Boom Excavators for Sale in the UAE

1. What's the difference between a long boom excavator and a standard excavator?

A long boom (long reach) excavator uses an extended arm and boom for significantly greater horizontal and vertical reach, trading some digging force near the machine for that extra range.

2. What is a long boom excavator best used for?

Dredging, deep foundation and utility work, high-reach demolition, and any job requiring extended reach across slopes, water, or obstacles.

3. Does a long boom excavator dig as deep as a standard excavator up close?

Not necessarily. The extended configuration prioritizes reach and depth at distance, so close-range digging force can be lower than a standard boom of similar weight class.

4. What should I check before buying a used long boom excavator?

Boom and arm condition, hydraulic reach specifications, undercarriage stability, and documented maintenance history, given the added stress these machines carry.

5. Where can I buy a long boom excavator for sale in the UAE?
