The HEKING AUP250 Amphibious Undercarriage Pontoon is a professional-grade solution engineered for excavator operations in waterlogged, soft soil, and shallow water environments. Designed specifically for the 24–26 ton excavator class, this amphibious undercarriage enables standard hydraulic excavators to operate efficiently in locations where conventional crawler undercarriages fail to perform.

Built with 9.7-meter long steel pontoons, the AUP250 provides excellent flotation and balance. The pontoon width of 1.9 meters and height of 2.0 meters are optimized to distribute machine weight evenly, significantly reducing ground pressure on marshes, riverbeds, and reclaimed land. This configuration is particularly valuable for infrastructure and environmental projects across Europe and the Middle East, where soil conditions can vary dramatically.

The hull structure uses reinforced steel plates with a thickness of 5 mm on the top and sides and 6 mm on the bottom, offering strong resistance to abrasion, impact, and corrosion. This makes the AUP250 suitable for long-term use in freshwater and coastal environments. The undercarriage is driven by a four-motor hydraulic propulsion system, ensuring smooth movement, precise control, and reliable traction even in muddy or submerged conditions.

The wide undercarriage layout and approximately 3000 mm rear slew radius allow operators to maintain stability during digging, lifting, and swinging operations. The system supports a minimum ground clearance of around 1303 mm, enabling the excavator to pass over obstacles and uneven terrain without compromising safety or performance.

For projects requiring enhanced positioning and deeper water capability, optional side pontoons and a spud system can be integrated. These options improve flotation, anchoring accuracy, and operational safety, making the AUP250 adaptable to dredging, river maintenance, shoreline reinforcement, and pipeline installation work.

From a procurement perspective, the HEKING AUP250 is designed with export and wholesale buyers in mind. Its modular construction supports containerized shipping, reducing logistics costs for distributors and contractors in Europe and the Middle East. The undercarriage is compatible with major excavator brands, allowing fleet owners to upgrade existing machines rather than invest in dedicated amphibious equipment.

Overall, the AUP250 Amphibious Undercarriage Pontoon delivers a balanced combination of durability, operational flexibility, and cost efficiency. It is a dependable solution for contractors seeking to expand their operational reach into wetlands, rivers, and soft-ground construction zones while maintaining productivity and equipment safety.
