What Are Hitachi Long Reach Excavators?
Hitachi long reach excavators are purpose-built machines featuring extended boom and arm configurations designed to increase working radius without sacrificing stability.
Common models include long reach configurations in the 20 to 35 metric ton class and larger production platforms depending on project requirements.
Why CHOOSE HITACHI LONG REACH EXCAVATORS?
- Reinforced boom and arm assemblies
- Optimized hydraulic flow for smooth extended operation
- Stable undercarriage configuration
- Balanced counterweight systems
- Factory-integrated long reach engineering
Built for Infrastructure and Environmental Applications
Hitachi long reach excavators are built for specialized contractors and public agencies performing:
• State DOT bridge demolition
• River and canal dredging
• Flood control system construction
• Levee and shoreline reinforcement
• Deep excavation for utilities
• Industrial and plant decommissioning
Municipal and county public works departments benefit from the extended reach capability when working over barriers, water, or uneven terrain.
Heavy civil contractors rely on long reach configurations to perform demolition and earthmoving without repositioning equipment unnecessarily, improving efficiency and jobsite safety.
Operator Comfort and Cab Design
LExtended reach work demands focus and precision. Hitachi long reach excavators are equipped with operator environments designed to support long shifts in technically demanding conditions.
• High-visibility cab with wide sightlines to working area
• Adjustable suspension seating to reduce fatigue
• Ergonomic joystick controls for precise modulation
• Intuitive digital monitor with machine diagnostics
• Climate-controlled cab for Midwest conditions
• Reduced vibration and interior noise
Clear visibility and smooth control help operators maintain accuracy when working at full extension over water, bridges, or steep slopes.

Easy Operation
Long reach excavation requires smooth hydraulic response and controlled multifunction operation.
Hitachi long reach excavators deliver:
• Predictable hydraulic flow at extended boom length
• Stable articulation during reach-intensive work
• Balanced machine geometry for improved control
• Responsive joystick input for precise bucket placement
• Integrated monitoring systems for real-time performance data
From dredging operations to bridge removal projects, controlled movement improves safety and efficiency.
Simplified Maintenance and Easy Service Access
Long reach machines often operate in harsh environments such as mud, water, dust, and demolition debris. Service accessibility is critical.
Hitachi long reach excavators are designed with:
• Ground-level service checkpoints
• Accessible engine and hydraulic compartments
• Reinforced hydraulic line routing
• Durable filtration systems
• Cooling systems built for demanding conditions
Backed by Luby Equipment’s in-house and on-site field service across Missouri and Illinois, your long reach excavator is supported with local parts and technical expertise.
Durability and Safety
Extended reach applications increase structural stress. Hitachi long reach excavators are engineered to withstand these conditions without compromising operator safety.
Reinforced Structural Design
Long reach applications require enhanced structural support. Hitachi long reach models feature reinforced boom and arm construction designed to withstand repeated stress at extended working distances.
• Heavy-duty boom and arm assemblies engineered for long reach configurations
• Reinforced weld points and pivot areas
• Strengthened undercarriage components for improved stability
• Balanced counterweight systems designed for extended reach operation
• Durable linkage and pin construction for long-term wear resistance
This structural reinforcement helps maintain precision and reliability during bridge demolition, dredging, and deep excavation projects.
Stability at Extended Reach
Operating at full extension changes machine balance and load distribution. Hitachi long reach excavators are designed with stability in mind.
• Optimized counterweight design for improved machine balance
• Wide undercarriage configurations for enhanced footing
• Smooth hydraulic modulation to reduce sudden load shifts
• Controlled swing performance for safer operation over water or slopes
For contractors working on riverbanks, levees, or elevated infrastructure, machine stability directly impacts jobsite safety.
Operator AND JOBSITE SAFETY
Safety is critical when working over bridges, waterways, or deep excavations. Hitachi long reach excavators are designed to protect operators while improving situational awareness.
• ROPS-certified cab structure
• High-visibility cab layout with clear sightlines to the working radius
• Integrated lighting systems for low-visibility conditions
• Slip-resistant access steps and secure handholds
• Clear digital monitoring systems for machine diagnostics and alerts
When operating near traffic, infrastructure, or environmentally sensitive areas, predictable machine performance and operator visibility help reduce risk.
