The long reach excavator or high reach excavator is a development of the excavator with an especially long boom arm, that is primarily used for demolition. Instead of excavating ditches, the long reach excavator is designed to reach the upper stories of buildings that are being demolished and pull down the structure in a controlled fashion. Today it has largely replaced the wrecking ball as the primary tool for demolition.
777 Demolition & Haulage Co Ltd acquired the UK's first largest demolition specification Long Reach Excavator EX1200 back in 2004 - This machine could reach up to 52 Meters.
