This beast is capable of extracting 190-tonnes an hour at a depth of 42 metres, the first in the world ever built.\u201d Said Livio. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The request for the arm came from Boss Attachments\u2019 client, Moits Earthmoving, who required something that would maximise their efficiency and with it, their ROI. \u201cMoits required something big that went beyond the boundaries. Prior to this arm, for deep excavation they\u2019d have to use multiple excavators or cranes: very slow and very expensive. Now they use one man on one machine digging up to 190 tonne an hour, which has saved them a fortune.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing The Telescopic Excavator Arm<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26352 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/16092921\/BOSS-Attachments-deep-dig-excavator-poster2-926x1024.png\" alt=\"world-first telesccopic excavator arm\" width=\"800\" height=\"885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/16092921\/BOSS-Attachments-deep-dig-excavator-poster2-926x1024.png 926w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/16092921\/BOSS-Attachments-deep-dig-excavator-poster2-271x300.png 271w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/16092921\/BOSS-Attachments-deep-dig-excavator-poster2-768x849.png 768w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/16092921\/BOSS-Attachments-deep-dig-excavator-poster2-500x553.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just looking at the arm; it\u2019s easy to see creating it was no small feat. It\u2019s a huge achievement and a testament to the skill Boss Attachments and the team have at tackling the impossible. And in less than 3 months. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNormally to design something from the ground-up, you&#8217;re talking 12 months of development. We were on a tight schedule, we had 2 months to design and build, and another month to freight it in. We had no testing and we had to make it and make it work. It was record timing. To build something so big and go back to the drawing board and re-engineer it was a huge feat. It was a lot of hours but we did it in record time and we have a happy client and that&#8217;s all that matters,\u201d said Livio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partnering with Cosben, the arm was designed and built overseas, but assembled and tested here in Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was made in Italy, with a team of 10 people designers and builders. Then when it came here, there were 5 of us to install it, test it and get it to work, so we had to break all records. There were a lot of long days, it was very tiring but absolutely great.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUntil now, the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> l<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">argest<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> arm was around 38 metres.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Huge Success for the Construction Industry<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26364 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/23090950\/boss-attachments1-1024x691.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/23090950\/boss-attachments1-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/23090950\/boss-attachments1-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/23090950\/boss-attachments1-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/23090950\/boss-attachments1-500x338.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 months on, and the telescopic excavator arm is still going strong.
