RP70 Self-elevating Mobile Platform

RP70 is a self-elevating mobile work platform designed for complex intertidal construction environments.

It is suitable for tidal flats, wetlands, soft mud, shallow water and nearshore job sites where ordinary land equipment cannot enter safely and conventional barges may not provide enough stability.

With amphibious mobility, long spud legs and a self-elevating deck, RP70 helps contractors move into difficult sites, position the platform and create a more stable working base above the water surface.

Product Highlights

A Mobile Platform for Mud, Water and Tide

RP70 combines mud mobility, shallow-water flotation and self-elevating capability in a single platform, enabling construction across environments where conventional equipment often faces access, stability and tidal limitations. By reducing the need for temporary roads, auxiliary boats and repeated equipment transfers, it provides a more efficient and adaptable solution for intertidal and nearshore projects.

Key Advantages

  • Moves across soft mud and tidal flats
  • Floats and relocates in shallow water
  • Elevates the deck above water for stable operation
  • Uses 13m spud legs to build stable support points
  • Provides 8m lifting stroke for changing water levels
  • Supports work in water depths up to 6m
  • Reduces dependence on temporary roads, tugboats and repeated equipment switching

Functions and Features

RP70 Functions and Features

1. Self-Elevating Working Deck

RP70 can lift the platform deck above the water surface after reaching the working position.
This helps reduce the influence of tide, waves and water level changes, providing a more stable working surface for construction equipment and workers.

2. 13m Spud Legs for Stable Positioning

The platform uses 13m spud legs to penetrate into the waterbed or soft mud layer.
These legs help build stable support points, making the platform more suitable for shallow water, soft mud and tidal flat conditions.

3. 8m Lifting Stroke

The 8m lifting stroke allows RP70 to adapt to changing water levels and different working heights.
This is important for intertidal projects where tide and water level changes can interrupt construction.

4. Dual-Mode Leg Control

The spud legs can be controlled in two ways:
  • Synchronous control for unified lifting and lowering
  • Single-leg independent adjustment for leveling and uneven ground adaptation
This helps the platform remain stable when the seabed or mudflat surface is not level.

5. Modular Pontoon Track Structure

RP70 uses a 4 + 2 modular structure.
The platform includes four deck modules and two main pontoons, making transportation and on-site assembly easier.

6. Sealed Pontoon Buoyancy

The sealed pontoon body provides buoyancy support in water and helps distribute platform weight in soft mud.
This reduces the risk of sinking and improves the platform’s adaptability in shallow water and wetland conditions.

7. Triple-Chain Crawler Track

The triple-chain crawler track increases contact area and improves traction on soft mud.
It helps the platform move through tidal flats, silt and muddy construction zones where conventional machines may lose mobility.

8. Marine Durability and Safety Design

RP70 is designed for long-term use in coastal and wet working environments.
Key safety and durability features include:

  • Marine-grade anti-corrosion coating
  • Anti-slip deck surface
  • Removable safety guardrails
  • Hydraulic system protection
  • Reliable operation protection for heavy-duty work
RP70 Functions and Features

Applications of Self-elevating Amphibious Work Platform

Tidal Flat Solar PV Construction

 

RP70 can support pile installation, component transport and temporary work access in tidal flat solar PV projects.

Its mudflat mobility helps equipment move across soft ground, while the elevated deck provides a stable working base.

Coastal Civil Works and Seawall Construction

 

For coastal protection, seawall reinforcement, stone placement and ecological restoration, RP70 can reduce dependence on temporary access roads and auxiliary boats.

Nearshore Foundation Work

 

RP70 can be used as an auxiliary platform for shallow water foundation work, inspection and maintenance.

The self-elevating deck provides better stability than freely floating platforms.

Pipeline and Cable
Support

 

Supports pipeline laying, cable installation and trenching operations in shallow water and tidal zones.

Bridge and Water Conservancy Projects

 

Supports bridge, river, lake and water conservancy construction projects.

Multi-Stage Intertidal Construction

 

Supports construction across mudflat, intertidal and nearshore environments.
