5-8 Ton Amphibious Excavator From China Manufacturer – Why Choose River?

Our Lightweight Design was developed by our construction team’s over 15 years of experience in water projects, which means the pontoon buoyancy is less than the total machine weight (the upper structure and undercarriage of the excavator). By doing so, the amphibious excavator can work in shallow water and gain better flexibility under 1.8 meters (depending on the model).

  1. The excavator can land and manoeuvre stably in shallow water. All digging operations in different directions are as safe as land crawlers working on the ground without risk of rolling over;
  2. With a Lightweight Designed pontoon, customers enjoy a more compact appearance, easier marsh travel, and more flexible operation while saving on investment costs.
  3. A systematic series of side pontoons and spuds provided for pairing with different undercarriage models would allow the amphibiou
