Super Long Reach Excavator Rentals: What They Are and When to Use Them

Some projects demand more than a standard excavator. When the job involves deep digging or long-distance reach in hard-to-access areas, a super long reach excavator rental is often the best solution. These specialized machines feature extended booms and sticks that allow operators to cover areas up to 60 feet away or more, making them ideal for ditch cleaning, slope finishing, waterway and canal maintenance and so much more.  

What Makes a Super Long Reach Excavator Unique?  

Super long reach excavators are similar to standard excavator rentals, but they have key differences:  

• Extended booms and sticks: Designed to reach up to 60 feet or more   
• Heavy counterweights: Keep the machine stable under load while fully extended  
• Attachment versatility: Work with ditch cleaning buckets and couplers 

This added reach makes them perfect for specialized jobs where precision at a distance is critical.

Why Rent a Super Long Reach Excavator?  

Purchasing a super long reach excavator represents a major investment, one that doesn’t make sense for contractors who only need the machine occasionally. Renting offers:   

• Cost savings: Avoid the steep upfront purchase price.   
• Project flexibility: Rent only for jobs requiring long reach.   
• Simplified transport and storage: Moving a long reach machine requires detaching the boom and stick — renting eliminates that responsibility, often with support from trailer rentals.   
• Try before you buy: See how the machine performs on your projects before committing to ownership.  

Rental ensures you have access to the right machine without long-term obligations.
