If you start a new thread on that, link to it here so I can follow it. Your work is world class and your improvements would be interesting to watch.

twin boom ???

Twin boom means that the first part of the boom has a articulated joint in the middle. This way you get alot more reach and height

Hey, why do you need a lot more height reach? I thought You'll need much more deep to reach?

But looks like you a ready to design something, we'd never seen before.

This is an example of twin boom. How so you never heard of this? Most city wheeled excavators have this option...at least here...

That's the first one I've seen. It certainty looks useful. I wish my backhoe went higher. I've never needed it to dig deeper.

Never saw a twin boom around here.

OK, do not remember. Or at least never took those into account.

But could you please enlighten my poor head, what kind of jobs this double boom could do differently comparing to single boom one? Is it to excavate something from beyond obstacle?

It can dig deeper and reach higher. Also it can help you dig in tight places, right next to the machine without losing power at the end of boom. This way you get a backhoe, crane and excavator in one machine
