A high reach excavator is a specialized piece of equipment designed to safely and precisely tear down tall buildings and other structures that a traditional excavator cannot safely reach. High reach excavators are a great alternative to wrecking balls when precision is required. Operators use the high reach excavator for a top-down teardown of structures, which keeps the footprint smaller and helps avoid collateral damage.
Stub Boom Excavator vs. Dedicated Front Excavator
What is a stub boom?
A stub boom is a specially made boom that accepts multiple fronts and makes disassembly for transportation quick and painless. Company Wrench designs stub booms that allow operators to swap between a high reach front, long reach front, and conventional front on the same excavator. This means operators can use the same machine for any job.
What is a dedicated front?
A dedicated front is permanently attached to the high reach excavator. It cannot be swapped for a conventional or long reach front. A dedicated high reach front excavator is designed solely to precisely demolish tall structures.
