Heavy-Duty Amphibious Excavator for Extreme Working Conditions

The HEKING HK400SD Amphibious Excavator is a high-performance heavy-duty machine specifically engineered for demanding wetland, swamp, river dredging, and deep-water construction projects. Designed with strong floating capability, reinforced pontoons, and a reliable hydraulic system, this amphibious excavator delivers exceptional performance in terrains where conventional crawler excavators cannot safely operate.

With a 40-ton operating weight and extended digging reach of up to 18.7 meters, the HK400SD is ideal for large-scale dredging operations, coastal engineering projects, flood prevention work, mining tailing ponds, and oil & gas pipeline construction. The machine is widely used in environments with unstable soil conditions, marshlands, soft mud surfaces, shallow water zones, and saturated ground.

The HEKING HK400SD features a reinforced amphibious undercarriage system equipped with four DOOSAN travel motors, ensuring strong traction and stable mobility in difficult terrain conditions. Its large pontoon structure provides excellent buoyancy and low ground pressure, significantly reducing the risk of sinking during operation.

Powerful Engine and Hydraulic Performance

The HK400SD amphibious excavator is equipped with internationally recognized powertrain and hydraulic components to ensure reliable operation under continuous heavy-duty workloads.

Engine options include the Cummins C8.3 and Isuzu 6HK1 turbocharged diesel engines, delivering powerful output, excellent fuel efficiency, and long-term operational reliability. The inter-cooled turbo engine design provides stable performance even in high-temperature and humid environments commonly found in dredging and marine construction projects.

The hydraulic system utilizes a Kawasaki T5V140DT variable plunger pump combined with high-pressure hydraulic control systems. This configuration ensures:

  • Fast hydraulic response

  • Stable digging performance

  • High working efficiency

  • Reduced energy loss

  • Improved machine productivity

The advanced hydraulic system also supports long working hours in challenging jobsite conditions.

Reinforced Pontoon Undercarriage Design

The pontoon undercarriage is one of the most critical components of an amphibious excavator. The HEKING HK400SD uses a heavy-duty floating pontoon structure designed for high durability and strong buoyancy performance.

Key undercarriage advantages include:

  • Reinforced track chains

  • Durable track shoes

  • Large buoyancy capacity

  • Stable floating balance

  • Low ground pressure operation

  • Excellent corrosion resistance

The machine can travel smoothly across wetlands, riverbanks, muddy surfaces, shallow lakes, and marsh environments. Optional additional pontoons and spud systems can further improve machine stability for deeper water operations.
