Amphibious Excavator Descriptions

An amphibious excavator, also known as a swamp buggy excavator, marsh buggy excavator, or floating excavator, is a highly versatile and durable machine designed to perform effectively in both land and water environments. Essential for industries such as construction, mining, and environmental remediation, these excavators excel in challenging and diverse conditions.

As a leading amphibious excavator manufacturer, RIVER specializes in delivering high-quality machines and custom attachments specifically designed for industrial applications. Our innovative solutions guarantee optimal efficiency and reliability, no matter the terrain.

The amphibious excavators designed and manufactured by RIVER are capable of operating in swamp areas, wetlands, shallow waters, and soft terrains. With the addition of extra pontoons, they can also work in deeper waters. Our pontoon undercarriages are compatible with various upper structures, including those from Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Doosan, Hyundai, Sany, XCMG, LiuGong, Yuchai, and others. These pontoons are suitable for excavators ranging from 3 tons to 60 tons, whether new or used.

Features of Our Amphibious Excavators

Our Lightweight Design concept stems from over 20 years of experience in various dredging projects. This approach ensures that the buoyancy of the pontoon is less than the total weight of the excavator, including both the upper structure and undercarriage. As a result, the amphibious excavator can operate stably in shallow water, offering superior flexibility in water depths of up to 1.6 meters (depending on the model).

The excavator can land and maneuver stably in shallow water. All digging operations in different directions are as safe as land crawlers working on the ground without the risk of rolling over;
With a lightweight design pontoon, customers enjoy a more compact appearance, easier marsh travel, and more flexible operation while saving on investment costs. Figuring out the amphibious excavator purpose is a prerequisite for us to buy amphibious excavators;
A systematic series of side pontoons and hydraulic spuds provided for pairing with different pontoon undercarriage models would allow the amphibious excavator to fully float in deeper water ranging from 1.6 meters to a maximum of 5 meters, which enables swamp buggy working in diversified work scenarios.
