Below: A variable counterweight, moved hydraulically in coordination with the bucket arm, and with a cable link to the arm, keeps the excavator in equilibrium as it works. Another cable, connected to the bucket end of the arm and operated by a powerful winch, helps the bucket work much like a dragline. Above: A more typical application of one of Long Reach Excavators' VC20s (this one with a shorter boom and bucket arm) is ditch cleaning and contouring, here in the Croak Canal of Farmers Irrigation Co. in Arvada, Colorado. LONG REACH EXCAVATORS   was started in 1997. We own 3 long reach excavators, one with a reach of 73 feet (1.3 yard bucket), two with a reach of 65 feet (two yard buckets). We can go down or up 45 ft. We have cleaned 300 ponds and have done a massive sand cleanup along I-70 for the State of Colorado. Richard Trainer, president of Long Reach Excavators, has had a long career in the construction business and now specializes in cleaning ponds, lakes, irrigation canals, as well as highway sand cleanup.
