RS60 Amphibious Jack-up Work Platform

RS60 is a customized amphibious jack-up work platform designed for shallow water, wetlands, soft mud, tidal flats and water-area exploration projects.

Powered by an SK200 excavator, the platform combines amphibious crawler mobility, hydraulic spud-leg lifting, floating pontoons and propeller self-propulsion. It can travel across soft ground, float on water, reach the working position and lift the deck above the water surface to create a more stable working base.

It is especially suitable for CPT geological penetration testing, water-area research, exploration work and shallow water construction support.

Functions and Features

1.Hydraulic Spud-leg Jack-up System

RS60 is equipped with a hydraulic positioning spud-leg jack-up system.
After reaching the working area, the spuds are lowered into the waterbed or soft ground. The hydraulic cylinders then lift the platform deck above the water surface, creating a more stable working base.
This is important for CPT testing, exploration work and other operations that require better deck stability than a freely floating platform.

2.SK200 Excavator Power Source

The platform uses an SK200 excavator as the power source.
This configuration provides hydraulic power for platform movement, lifting and related working systems. It also makes the platform more practical for customers who need a proven and serviceable power system.

3.Crawler-type Amphibious Chassis

RS60 uses a customized crawler-type amphibious chassis.
The chassis is designed for mud, wetlands, tidal flats and shallow water conditions. It helps the platform move through low-bearing-capacity ground where ordinary machines may sink or lose traction.

4.Main Pontoon and Side Pontoon Buoyancy

The platform uses main pontoons and side pontoons to provide buoyancy and stability.
The single main pontoon size is 9.6 m × 1.6 m × 2.0 m, while the single side pontoon size is 11 m × 1.5 m × 1.3 m. This pontoon structure supports both flotation and working stability.

5.Doosan TM40 Hydraulic Motors

The walking system is equipped with four Doosan TM40 hydraulic motors.
These motors provide strong driving force for crawler movement and help improve platform mobility in mudflat and shallow water working conditions.

6.10 m Positioning Spuds

RS60 uses 10 m positioning spuds with a 250 mm × 250 mm section.
The spuds help the platform establish support points and improve working stability in shallow water or soft ground.

7.Eight Hydraulic Cylinders

The platform is equipped with eight hydraulic cylinders.
Each spud is controlled by two independent hydraulic cylinders, allowing more flexible lifting and adjustment according to working conditions.

8.Propeller Hydraulic Self-Propulsion

The hydraulic propeller self-propulsion system allows the platform to move more flexibly on water.
This can reduce dependence on tugboats or auxiliary vessels for short-distance relocation.

9.Detachable Deck Panels

RS60 uses detachable movable deck panels.
This design makes installation, disassembly, maintenance and transportation more convenient.

10.CPT Base Assembly

The platform can be equipped with a CPT base assembly.
The hydraulically slidable base allows geological penetration testing equipment to adjust its working position more flexibly on the platform deck.

11.Safety Facilities

The platform is equipped with safety facilities such as handrails and ladders.
These details help protect workers during installation, testing, exploration and maintenance operations.

Applications of Amphibious Jack-up Work Platform

CPT Geological Penetration Testing

 

RS60 is suitable for CPT geological penetration testing in shallow water, wetlands, mudflats and nearshore areas.

The stable jack-up deck and CPT base assembly provide a practical working platform for exploration equipment.

Water-area Research and Exploration

 

For water-area development, research and survey work, RS60 provides mobility, flotation and stable positioning in one platform.

It can support testing equipment, exploration instruments and field personnel.

Shallow Water Construction Support

 

RS60 can serve as a temporary working platform for shallow water construction support, especially where ordinary boats or barges are difficult to position.

Wetland and Mudflat Projects

 

The crawler-type amphibious chassis allows the platform to access wetland and mudflat job sites with soft ground conditions.

Nearshore Investigation Work

 

For nearshore survey, soil investigation, environmental research and supporting work, RS60 provides a stable and movable working base.

Temporary Equipment
Support

 

The open deck can support light to medium equipment, tools, power units and working systems according to the project requirement.

Special Design and Engineering Details

Customized Amphibious Chassis

The crawler-type amphibious chassis is designed for complex jobsite conditions such as mud, wetlands, tidal flats and shallow water.
It combines ground mobility and floating support, making the platform more adaptable than a conventional land machine or ordinary barge.
 

Multiple Independent Watertight Compartments

The pontoons use multiple independent watertight compartments.This design improves safety and reliability during water-area operation.

Detachable Movable Deck

The detachable panel design makes the platform easier to assemble, disassemble and transport.
It also helps adapt the deck layout to different working systems and equipment arrangements.

Hydraulic Spud Control

Each positioning spud is controlled by two independent hydraulic cylinders.
This allows the lifting height to be adjusted more flexibly according to the working condition.
 
Propeller Self-Propulsion System

The hydraulic propeller system improves platform movement and transportation on water.
It is useful for short-distance relocation and site adjustment.
 

CPT Slidable Base Design

The CPT base assembly can be designed as a hydraulically slidable base.
This allows CPT equipment to adjust position more conveniently without frequently relocating the whole platform.

High-strength Track Design

The crawler system can use high-strength customized track plates to improve durability, compression resistance and working reliability in harsh mudflat conditions.
 

Reinforced Pontoon Connection

The connection structure between main pontoons and side pontoons is thickened and strengthened.
This helps ensure pressure-bearing strength when the platform is lifted by the spud-leg system.
