AMPHIBIOUS UNDERCARRIAGE
Amphibious Excavator Undercarriage & Its Attachments
Amphibious undercarriage (pontoon undercarriage) redefines versatility in amphibious equipment, enhancing stability and maneuverability for amphibious excavators and marsh buggy units. It experiences unparalleled performance in wetland terrains. RIVER’s amphibious excavators can adapt to various brands and models of upper excavators, ranging from 5 tons to 40 tons. Our amphibious undercarriage excavator and its attachments are designed to elevate your excavation projects with advanced technology and robust performance.
What is an Undercarriage for Amphibious Excavator?
An amphibious undercarriage is a specialized undercarriage system designed to enable excavators and other heavy machinery to operate efficiently in both water and on land. This system is particularly beneficial for work in challenging terrains such as swamps, marshes, wetlands, and shallow water bodies.
Amphibious Undercarriage Attachments
Additional side pontoons of an amphibious excavator, also known as additional pontoons or floating pontoons, are crucial attachments that enhance the stability and buoyancy of the amphibious excavator when operating in water. These pontoons are elongated, floatation devices mounted on the sides of the amphibious excavator’s undercarriage, extending its capability to tackle deeper and more turbulent aquatic environments.
Hydraulic positioning piles are a type of deep foundation system, utilizing hydraulic mechanisms to install piles deep into the earth to support structures by transferring their load to layers of soil or rock that have sufficient bearing capacity. They are crucial in construction and civil engineering projects, offering a robust solution for establishing foundational support where shallow foundations are not feasible due to poor soil conditions or when the structure is subject to heavy loads.
Key Features of Amphibious Undercarriage
Specially designed pontoons provide stability and flotation on water surfaces.
Robust materials resist wear and corrosion for longevity in harsh environments.
Allows seamless transition between land and aquatic settings, improving access to difficult terrains.
Wide track shoes minimize ground pressure, protecting sensitive ecosystems during operations.
HG785D High-Grade Steel ensures exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for structural integrity and durability.
Epoxy zinc-rich paint enhances strength and lifespan, resisting corrosion and abrasion in extreme conditions.
Benifits of Using Amphibious Excavator Undercarriage
- Versatility in Terrain: The amphibious undercarriage allows excavators to transition seamlessly between land and water. This versatility is crucial for projects involving dredging, waterway maintenance, and construction in swampy areas.
- Improved Stability: The buoyant pontoons and extended tracks provide increased stability on soft and unstable ground, reducing the risk of the machine tipping over or getting stuck.
- Increased Accessibility: Excavators equipped with amphibious undercarriages can access and work in areas that are otherwise inaccessible to standard machines, such as marshes, lakes, and coastal regions.
- Enhanced Safety: By maintaining stability and preventing the excavator from sinking or tipping, the amphibious undercarriage enhances operator safety, especially in hazardous working environments.
- Efficiency and Productivity: The ability to work in both water and on land without the need for multiple machines or frequent repositioning boosts overall efficiency and productivity on the job site.
- Environmental Impact: Amphibious undercarriages can minimize environmental disruption by reducing the need for extensive land-based support and infrastructure in sensitive ecosystems like wetlands.
