Boom-type Road header is a type of excavating equipment integrating various functions such as cutting, loading, spoil conveying, crawler travelling, spraying and dust removing. The Boom-type Road header has the characteristics of high mechanization degree, less disturbance, easy control, continuous excavation, less workmanship, low labor intensity, high safety, and flexibility. Because of the crawler-type walking mechanism, it is easy to turn and climb and has strong adaptability to complex geological conditions.

In recent years, with the development of tunnel construction technology, the construction concept of eco-friendly has been strengthened constantly. Therefore, non-explosive excavation technology is increasingly used in tunnel construction.

The continuous mechanical excavation with Boom-type Road header reduces the damage of rock, the construction cost of the tunnel, the construction cost of the tunnel, and realizes the excavation of various tunnel shapes and diameters.
