2/12/2024 0 Comments Amphibious excavator dredge pumpAmphibious Excavator with Spud SystemsĪs Amphibious Excavator has proven its effectiveness in working on soft, swampy and wet environments and over shallow waters, there is a need to improve its buoyancy and flotation abilities over deeper waters and to operate in areas where the traditional spud barges cannot access unless there is a deeper water. The Amphibious Excavator is also known by many names around the world – floating excavator, floating dredger, amphibious dredger, marsh excavator, marsh buggy, swamp excavator, and the like and come in many shapes, sizes and attachments.Īmphibious Excavator is versatile in the sense that the upper body is able to install with either a standard reach boom or long reach boom, coupled with various front attachments for example, bucket, clamshell, rake, grapple, and even a dredge pump. The pontoon style undercarriage which is based on Archimedes principle is also designed to float in water as a safety feature. This unique machine operates seamlessly on both water and on land in keeping with its name – “Amphibious” means both land and water.Īmphibious Excavators specialize in moving and operating where the ground is not solid, in soft terrain and wet environments such as bayous, marsh lands, rivers and swamps while floating in a body of water.Īs excavators trekking in soft terrain and wet environments are required to have very low ground pressure, the Amphibious Excavator uses pontoon style undercarriage system to achieve an extremely low ground pressure compare to a standard crawler excavator, which is pretty much restricted to operating on hard surfaces. Amphibious Excavator is a type of excavator that can move and operate in places where the standard crawler excavator is unable to do.
