In this video, a long-reach hydraulic excavator demonstrates its ability to dig deep and move large volumes of earth efficiently. These machines are specifically designed with an extended boom and arm, allowing them to excavate up to 20 meters deep where standard excavators cannot operate safely.The Science Behind Deep Excavation:
Hydraulic Power:
Each movement of the excavator arm is powered by high-pressure hydraulic cylinders, converting fluid energy into massive lifting force. The system operates at pressures of 200–350 bar, allowing the bucket to scoop tons of soil effortlessly.
Soil Mechanics:
Excavation engineers study soil composition—clay, sand, or mixed rock layers—to calculate safe digging angles and prevent landslides. The excavator’s bucket teeth are made from hardened steel alloys capable of breaking compacted earth and small rocks.
Efficiency and Safety:
The long-reach design reduces the risk of machinery tipping over during deep excavation. This is particularly important when working on steep embankments, river dredging, or deep foundation pits. The machine’s track-based undercarriage spreads weight evenly, providing high stability on loose soil.
Global Applications:
Canal and River Dredging: Ensures water channels remain navigable and flood-free.
Deep Construction Foundations: Creates stable bases for skyscrapers, bridges, and dams.
Mining Operations: Allows safe removal of overburden layers before mineral extraction.
Engineering Insights:
The bucket’s cutting edges are engineered to withstand forces of up to 300 MPa when striking rock fragments.
Advanced hydraulic fluid technology keeps the machine running smoothly even under extreme pressure and heat.
Some long-reach excavators can operate continuously for 12–16 hours a day, moving thousands of cubic meters of earth daily.
This machine showcases how engineering innovation and hydraulic science combine to reshape landscapes safely and efficiently, transforming construction and earthmoving projects worldwide.
