Amphibious Excavator

Amphibious Excavator Descriptions

An amphibious excavator, commonly referred to as a swamp buggy excavator, marsh buggy excavator, or floating excavator. Amphibious excavators are versatile and robust machines designed to operate effectively in both land and water environments. Essential for industries such as construction, mining, and environmental remediation, these excavators offer unparalleled performance in challenging conditions. As a leading amphibious excavator manufacturer, RIVER specializes in providing high-quality equipment and custom amphibious excavator attachments tailored for industrial applications. Our innovative solutions ensure optimal efficiency and reliability for your projects, no matter the terrain.

The amphibious excavators specially designed and manufactured by RIVER can work in swamp areas, wetlands, shallow water, and all soft terrains, and they can also work in deeper water equipped with additional pontoons. Whatever models of upper structure can be perfectly mounted to our pontoon undercarriage, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Doosan, Hyundai, Sany, XCMG, LiuGong, Yuchai, etc. The pontoons are suitable for excavators ranging from 5 tons to 40 tons, new machines, and second-hand or used machines that you carry.

Features of Our Amphibious Excavators

The idea of Lightweight Design was developed by our construction team’s over 20 years of experience in all kind of dredging 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 stably and achieve better flexibility under 1.8 meters water environment (depending on the model of amphibious excavator).

amphibious excavator features
  • 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;
