1.1 Brief Introduction
Amphibious Marsh Equipment is designed specially to meet the challenges of wetlands and soft-terrain by combining buoyancy with the maneuverability of a tracked vehicle. The most popular product is Amphibious Excavator, which is also named as Swamp Excavator, Swamp Backhoe, Marsh Buggy Excavator, Marsh Buggies, Amphibians, Amphibious Excavator, Dredging Excavator, Floating Backhoe, Marsh Excavator, Pontoon Excavator, Mud Buggy, Swamp Buggy Excavator or Swamp buggies etc.
On a conventional tracked vehicle, the tracks run on wheels and exert a high ground pressure. Without buoyancy, the machines will not operate in conditions that are unable to support the weight of the machine, as open water, marshes, swamps, or other soft terrains.
Different from the conventional undercarriage of the construction machinery, the undercarriage of an amphibious excavator or marsh buggy is built on two large steel pontoons with the tracks mounted around them. The pontoons create buoyancy, giving the machine capabilities between those of a barge and a regular excavator. The pontoons are custom fabricated for a particular machine to provide the correct displacement and balance to allow the machine to safely float and move on water or soft terrains.
SUNTON SE series of amphibious excavators range from 8 metric tons to 36 metric tons, 3600 pounds to 16300 pounds, in either a standard or extended long-reach boom configuration. They have the most floatation and the safest working record in the industry.
SUNTON amphibious excavators could easily get more versatile functions by changing with different upper or front parts, or kinds of attachments as cutter pumps, rock bucket, tilt bucket, skeleton buckets, clamshell buckets, fork grapple, grapple, high reach boom, demolition booms, materials handling attachments, orange peel grab and crusher etc.
1.2 Applications
Amphibious Equipments’ working conditions are mainly wetlands and soft terrains.
