The AUP140 Amphibious Pontoon is a professional pontoon undercarriage developed for converting standard 12-15 ton excavators into highly capable amphibious machines. Designed for operation in wetlands, swamps, marshes, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and other soft terrain environments, the AUP140 provides the flotation and stability necessary for safe and efficient excavation where conventional tracked excavators cannot operate.
Many construction, environmental restoration, dredging, and flood-control projects require equipment capable of moving across unstable ground conditions. Traditional excavators often experience sinking, reduced productivity, and increased operational risks when working in waterlogged or soft soil areas. The AUP140 amphibious pontoon solves these challenges by transforming a standard excavator into a floating work platform capable of operating both on land and in shallow water.
The AUP140 pontoon undercarriage is specifically designed to reduce ground pressure while maximizing machine stability. Its sealed steel pontoons provide excellent buoyancy and support the excavator during operations in swampy and water-saturated conditions.
The 9.258-meter pontoon length delivers a large flotation footprint, enabling the excavator to distribute its weight over a wider surface area. This significantly reduces the risk of sinking and allows operators to maintain productivity in terrain that would normally be inaccessible to conventional construction equipment.
Common applications include:
River dredging projects
Wetland restoration
Environmental protection works
Flood control construction
Coastal engineering
Marshland infrastructure projects
Pipeline installation in wetlands
Reservoir maintenance
Lake rehabilitation
Waterway management
Durability is critical in demanding aquatic environments. The AUP140 utilizes high-strength steel construction throughout the pontoon body. The top plate, side plate, and bottom plate all feature 6 mm steel thickness to withstand harsh operating conditions.
The fully sealed buoyancy chambers are designed to resist corrosion and structural fatigue caused by continuous exposure to water, mud, and abrasive materials. This robust design helps reduce maintenance requirements while extending equipment service life.
The undercarriage incorporates four hydraulic travel motors, ensuring dependable movement through difficult terrain. Whether operating in mud, shallow water, or soft ground, the drive system delivers the traction necessary for stable machine positioning.
One of the most important advantages of the AUP140 amphibious pontoon is its ability to improve excavator mobility in challenging environments.
The wide undercarriage configuration provides excellent lateral stability during digging operations. With an adjustable track gauge and optional side pontoons, operators can configure the machine according to project requirements.
For deep-water operations, optional additional pontoons and spud systems can be installed. The spud system helps anchor the machine during dredging activities, improving precision and operational safety.
The AUP140 also supports excellent working reach, allowing excavators to achieve:
Maximum digging radius of 10,778 mm
Maximum digging depth of 7,033 mm
Maximum digging height of 11,860 mm
Maximum dumping height of 9,057 mm
These capabilities make it suitable for large-scale dredging, excavation, and environmental engineering projects.
Purchasing a dedicated amphibious excavator can require significant investment. The AUP140 offers an economical alternative by allowing contractors to convert existing 12-15 ton excavators into amphibious machines.
This conversion approach provides several benefits:
Lower capital investment
Faster equipment deployment
Flexible machine utilization
Reduced project costs
Improved fleet efficiency
Easy maintenance and spare parts management
For contractors serving wetland construction and dredging markets, the AUP140 represents a practical and scalable solution.
The AUP140 amphibious pontoon is suitable for contractors, equipment rental companies, government agencies, dredging operators, and environmental engineering firms throughout Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and other international markets.
Manufactured under strict quality control systems, the pontoon is designed to meet demanding operational requirements while delivering long-term reliability. Combined with optional customization services, the AUP140 can be adapted to different excavator brands and project specifications.
Whether your project involves wetland reclamation, river maintenance, flood prevention, or ecological restoration, the AUP140 provides a dependable amphibious undercarriage platform capable of maximizing equipment productivity in challenging environments.
