Product Overview
The TGEC material handling boom is a purpose-built boom-and-arm configuration designed for waste sorting, scrap handling, and elevated material placement. The extended geometry provides additional lift height for feeding conveyors, loading trucks, and managing waste piles, while the raised working position improves operator visibility for material sorting. Four models are available for excavators from 20 to 50 tons, delivering lift heights from 10 to 16 meters. As part of the TGEC excavator boom and arm assemblies lineup, this unit is purpose-built for recycling centers, scrap yards, waste management facilities, and industrial sorting operations.

Series-Wide Technical Highlights
Extended boom and arm geometry delivers maximum lift heights from 10 to 16 meters—ideal for elevated sorting and placement tasks.
Raised working position gives the operator a clear line of sight over stockpiles, improving visibility during material sorting.
Listed lift capacities range from 1500 to 3000 kg, depending on the model and operating configuration.
Built from high-strength steel with reinforced pivot points to hold up to continuous, day-in-day-out material handling duty.
Mounting brackets are custom-fabricated for each excavator make and model, with pin spacing and diameters verified for a precision fit.
Excavator Compatibility Guidance
TGEC material handling booms are offered in four sizes for excavators from 20 to 50 tons. The TG-MHB20 is intended for 20-to-25-ton machines; TG-MHB30 is available for 30-to-35-ton units; TG-MHB40 is configured for 40-to-45-ton excavators; and TG-MHB50 is intended for 45-to-50-ton models. This boom is configured in place of the standard boom and arm and is matched to the existing machine connection dimensions. Because the high-lift configuration changes the center of gravity, counterweight may be required to help manage the additional leverage at elevated working positions. When ordering, include your excavator make and model, operating weight, pin-to-pin spacing, pin diameter, and stick width—our engineering team will review the configuration.
Typical Applications
Waste sorting and recycling: Separate recyclables from mixed waste at elevated conveyor feeds and sorting stations.
Scrap yard operations: Move, sort, and load scrap metal, vehicles, and bulky waste in recycling facilities.
Landfill and transfer station management: Shape and maintain waste piles with better reach and visibility.
Truck and container loading: Load high-sided trucks, shipping containers, and rail cars.
Industrial material handling: Feed conveyors, manage bulk inventory, and move materials in manufacturing and processing plants.
Working Principle
This material handling boom runs off the excavator's standard hydraulic circuits—the boom cylinder takes care of raising and lowering, while the arm cylinder controls extension and retraction. The extended boom and arm provide the elevated working height required for sorting, loading and material placement applications. The higher working position also puts the operator up where they can see over material piles, improving visibility during material sorting. A grapple, clamshell, or magnet typically mounts at the arm end, depending on the material being handled. Because of the increased leverage at full lift height, allowable load capacity may be reduced depending on reach and operating conditions, so the attachment and load weight should be matched to the model specifications. Some configurations may require additional counterweight to help manage leverage at full lift height.
Dealer & Bulk Orders
TGEC supplies material handling booms directly to waste management companies, scrap yards, recycling centers, equipment dealers, and industrial operations through factory-direct and bulk programs. Custom configurations can be engineered for specific excavator makes and models based on machine data and mounting requirements. OEM and private-label options are available with custom paint, logos, and packaging. Contact the TGEC dealer sales team with your company information, target excavator models, and estimated annual volume to open a wholesale account.
