This robust 20-ton amphibious excavator undercarriage is an essential specialized solution for operators seeking to extend their machinery's capabilities into challenging wet and soft terrain environments. Designed to seamlessly integrate with standard 20-ton class excavator upper structures, this floating pontoon chassis transforms a conventional excavator into a versatile amphibious workhorse, capable of operating effectively in swamps, marshes, wetlands, shallow water bodies, and extremely muddy areas.
Our pontoon undercarriage is meticulously engineered from high-grade, marine-standard steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, even in harsh saline or acidic conditions. Each pontoon is constructed with multiple sealed compartments, providing enhanced buoyancy and an invaluable safety margin against punctures or damage, allowing for continued operation even if one compartment is compromised. The wide, flat base of the pontoons distributes the excavator's weight over a large area, significantly reducing ground pressure and preventing the machine from sinking or getting bogged down in soft ground where wheeled or tracked excavators would fail.
Propulsion is achieved through powerful hydraulic travel motors, driving heavy-duty chains that are designed for maximum traction and reliability in aquatic and muddy conditions. The robust chain and sprocket system ensures consistent movement and precise maneuverability, enabling the excavator to traverse difficult terrains with ease. The integrated adapter frame facilitates a quick and secure attachment of your excavator's upper structure, minimizing conversion time and maximizing operational readiness.
Key benefits of utilizing this amphibious undercarriage include vastly expanded operational capabilities, increased productivity in previously inaccessible areas, and enhanced safety for personnel and equipment working in unstable environments. It is the ideal solution for a wide range of specialized applications such as river and lake dredging, canal desilting, wetland construction, environmental restoration projects, pipeline laying across marshy land, and disaster relief operations in flooded regions.
Our manufacturing process adheres to stringent quality control standards, ensuring that every pontoon undercarriage delivers optimal performance and a long service life. We understand the diverse needs of heavy equipment operators, and our team is capable of providing customized solutions, including varying pontoon lengths, widths, and additional features to perfectly match your specific project requirements and excavator model, whether it’s from leading brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Doosan, Sany, Zoomlion, or others within the 20-ton operating weight class.
Investing in this specialized amphibious undercarriage means unlocking new opportunities for your business, enabling you to undertake challenging projects with confidence and efficiency that conventional machinery simply cannot achieve.
