Heavy-Duty Swamp Excavator for Extreme Wetland Conditions

The HEKING HK400SD swamp excavator is a professional amphibious excavator engineered for demanding wetland construction and dredging environments. Designed for contractors operating in marshes, shallow water, muddy ground, and unstable terrain, this heavy-duty machine combines high flotation performance with powerful hydraulic excavation capability.

With a total operating weight of 40 tons, the HK400SD provides exceptional stability during excavation, dredging, and flood control work. The machine is widely used in river management projects, wetland restoration, coastal engineering, mining tailing ponds, lake dredging, and environmental construction operations across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Its reinforced amphibious undercarriage allows the excavator to travel efficiently over soft soil, peatland, swamp surfaces, and shallow water where standard crawler excavators cannot operate safely.

Advanced Amphibious Undercarriage Design

The HK400SD swamp excavator features a reinforced pontoon undercarriage specifically designed for high buoyancy and low ground pressure performance. The wide pontoons distribute the machine weight evenly, helping reduce sinking risks in unstable terrain.

The amphibious platform includes:

  • Heavy-duty pontoon structure

  • Three-chain track design

  • Four independent travel motors

  • High flotation performance

  • Stable movement on muddy terrain

  • Enhanced corrosion resistance for water environments

The pontoons are manufactured using durable steel structures designed for long-term operation in wet and corrosive environments. For customers working in deeper water conditions, additional pontoons and spud systems are available as optional configurations.

This design makes the HK400SD suitable for:

  • River dredging

  • Swamp excavation

  • Canal maintenance

  • Wetland infrastructure projects

  • Coastal engineering

  • Flood prevention work

  • Mining pond maintenance

  • Environmental restoration projects

Powerful Hydraulic Excavation Performance

The HK400SD amphibious excavator is equipped with a high-performance hydraulic system that delivers strong digging power and reliable operating efficiency.

Powered by a Cummins C8.3 or Isuzu 6HK1 engine, the excavator generates up to 183.9kW at 2200rpm, providing consistent output for demanding excavation tasks.

The hydraulic system includes a Kawasaki T5V140DT variable plunger pump, ensuring smooth hydraulic response, high operational efficiency, and stable power delivery during continuous work cycles.

The machine achieves:

  • Maximum digging depth of 7396mm

  • Maximum digging height of 12127mm

  • Maximum dumping height of 9018mm

  • Bucket digging force of 135kN

  • Arm digging force of 123.8kN

These specifications make the HK400SD suitable for large-scale dredging and heavy excavation applications requiring extended working reach and high productivity.

Built for Long-Term Reliability

The HK400SD swamp excavator is designed with durability and easy maintenance in mind. Major hydraulic and engine components are sourced from internationally recognized suppliers to improve machine reliability and simplify aftermarket servicing.

Core components include:

  • Cummins / Isuzu engine

  • Kawasaki hydraulic pump

  • DOOSAN travel motor

  • SUNJIN swing motor

The robust steel structure and reinforced amphibious chassis help reduce downtime in harsh working conditions. The excavator is also designed for easy transportation and field maintenance, supporting efficient project deployment.

HEKING provides manufacturing support, quality inspection, and export experience for international customers seeking reliable amphibious excavation equipment.

Production time is generally within 50 days after receipt of down payment.

Payment terms:
30% T/T down payment and 70% balance before delivery.

Applications of the HK400SD Swamp Excavator

The HK400SD is widely used for demanding engineering projects where conventional excavators face mobility limitations.

Typical applications include:

  • River dredging operations

  • Swamp and marsh excavation

  • Wetland construction

  • Flood control engineering

  • Coastal reinforcement projects

  • Lake maintenance dredging

  • Mining sediment removal

  • Oil and gas field access work

  • Environmental protection projects

  • Canal and waterway maintenance

Its combination of flotation capability, hydraulic power, and long operational reach makes it a preferred solution for contractors handling difficult terrain conditions.
