Long-Arm Excavator, the Fighter of excavators

Different from other excavators, the long-arm excavator adds an extension jib between the machine body and the working arm, which is supported by oil cylinder. And one working jib oil cylinder and one bucket oil cylinder are installed on the long arm, for which one set of oil cylinder operating system is equipped to support the movement of the two oil cylinders. All of these designs double the moving range of the large excavator bucket, which can go higher, deeper and further. The great changes make the long-arm excavator especial for minerals, docks, storage and emergency rescue.
The long-arm excavator has the following advantages:
1.       Need less labor
The high mechanization and simple operation of the long-arm excavator makes higher efficiency and shorter working schedule possible.
2.       High quality
In order to guarantee the reliability of the long-arm excavator in working process, strict quality standard is made to better guarantee the construction quality.
3.       High safety
The distance between the operator and the operating object is long to reduce dangers in the working process.
4.       Strong practicability
The long arm of the excavator can work in the tough place where other excavator can’t reach, and it meets the requirements of various construction sites.

The maintenance of the long-arm excavator
Good maintenance can extend the service life of the long arm and enhance working efficiency, especially in tough environment.
1.       Have the long arm greased at least two times every day. After working in muddy water, wash the machine before adding fuel. Check the joints of the working device to make sure it has enough fuel before starting working. Don’t add new oil until completely pushing the aging oil out by operating the swing arm, rod and bucket for several times.
2.       Wash the machine after working in the shore to remove the salt, and add machine oil if necessary. In cold winter, the piston rod should be put back to the hydraulic cylinder to avoid the clay and water sticking to the piston rod and damage the seal ring of the hydraulic cylinder.
The long-arm excavator should observe the following guidelines:
1.       When making a rotation, the long-arm of the excavator should be 0.5 meters high from the ground.
2.       Forbid knocking the heavy excavator vigorously when the bucket is working, walking and rotating are not allowed either.
3.       The piston rod of hydraulic cylinder should not move to the bottom, safe distance should be reserved.
4.       The long arm should not be overloaded.
5.       Don’t dig directly in the rocky area, crush the rocks before excavating.

6.       The bucket load should match with the specified standards; overload will shorten the life of the long arm and the excavator.
