The HEKING HK400SD is a 40-ton wetland excavator developed for heavy excavation and dredging work where conventional crawler excavators may not be suitable for the ground conditions. Its amphibious undercarriage combines a large working platform with pontoons and three chains to support operation in wetland and soft-ground environments.

The machine is intended for professional contractors, engineering companies, project owners, distributors, and equipment procurement teams working on wetland construction, dredging, environmental engineering, marsh excavation, and water-access projects.

With a listed operating weight of 40,000 kg and a standard bucket capacity of 1.3 m³, the HK400SD is positioned within HEKING's heavy-duty amphibious excavator range. Its hydraulic system uses a Kawasaki T5V140DT pump, while the travel system uses four DOOSAN TM40VC travel motors. Engine configurations are available with Cummins QSB6.7, Cummins C8.3, or Isuzu 6HK1 engines.

For projects requiring additional water access capability, the HK400SD can be supplied with an additional pontoon and spud configuration for deep-water applications, subject to the project configuration.

Key Product Features

Amphibious Platform for Wetland Operations

The HK400SD uses an amphibious pontoon-based undercarriage designed for working conditions involving soft ground and water-access areas. The listed ground pressure is 0.14 kg/cm², providing a low-ground-pressure configuration for the intended wetland operating environment.

40-Ton Class Excavation Platform

With a listed weight of 40,000 kg and a standard 1.3 m³ bucket, the HK400SD provides a large excavation platform for projects requiring a heavier machine class.

Multiple Engine Options

The product specification lists three engine options:

  • Cummins QSB6.7

  • Cummins C8.3

  • Isuzu 6HK1

The listed engine configuration is an inter-cooled turbo system with six cylinders and a 7.79 L displacement for the specified engine data.

High-Capacity Hydraulic System

The HK400SD uses a variable plunger pump with a maximum displacement of 2 × 140 cm³/r and a maximum flow of 2 × 308 L/min in the supplied specifications. Working pressure is listed as 32 MPa / 34.3 MPa.

Four Travel Motors

The machine is equipped with four DOOSAN TM40VC travel motors. The detailed specification lists high/low travel speeds of 2.1 / 1.2 km/h and a tractive effort of 4 × 116 kN.

Optional Deep-Water Configuration

Additional pontoon and spud systems are listed as optional equipment for deep-water applications. This configuration should be confirmed according to the project's water depth, working method, and operating requirements.

Technical Characteristics

The HK400SD combines a heavy excavator upper structure with an amphibious working platform. The detailed specification lists an 11,400 mm pontoon length, 1,800 mm pontoon width, and 2,090 mm ground clearance of the platform.

The upper structure has a listed width of 2,950 mm, while the overall machine width is 5,500 mm in the detailed configuration. The minimum ground clearance is listed as 1,228 mm and the pontoon height as 1,913 mm.

The hydraulic system is configured around a Kawasaki T5V140DT pump. Valve options include Toshiba UK32, Kawasaki KMX15RA, and B45030A. The swing system uses a fixed-plunger motor, while the travel system uses variable-plunger motors.

For excavation performance, the supplied specification lists:

  • Maximum digging force of bucket: 135 kN

  • Maximum digging force of arm: 123.8 kN

  • Maximum digging depth: 7,396 mm

  • Maximum vertical digging depth: 6,733 mm

  • Maximum digging height: 12,127 mm

  • Maximum dumping height: 9,018 mm

  • Maximum digging reach: 12,049 mm

  • Maximum digging reach on ground: 11,687 mm

  • Minimum front slewing radius: 3,848 mm

These figures should be evaluated together with the selected boom, arm, bucket, and overall project configuration.

Product Applications

The HK400SD is intended for projects where excavation equipment must operate across soft or water-affected terrain.

Wetland Construction: Used for excavation and construction activities in wetland environments where conventional equipment may encounter difficult ground conditions.

River and Waterway Dredging: Suitable for excavation and dredging-related work where equipment needs to access riverbanks, shallow-water areas, or soft waterway terrain.

Marsh and Swamp Operations: The amphibious platform is designed for applications involving marshes, swamps, and other soft-ground environments.

Environmental Engineering: Applicable to environmental restoration and related engineering projects requiring excavation equipment in wet or low-bearing-capacity areas.

Deep-Water Projects: Additional pontoon and spud options are available for deep-water applications, with the final configuration determined according to project requirements.

Operating Configuration and Application Considerations

The HK400SD should be selected according to the actual site conditions rather than machine tonnage alone. Before procurement, buyers should provide information about the operating environment, excavation depth, required reach, water conditions, access conditions, attachment requirements, and expected working method.

Particular attention should be given to whether the standard configuration is sufficient or whether additional pontoon and spud equipment is required. The supplied product information lists an 18.7 m / 12.05 m digging-reach range by configuration, while the detailed specification provides 12,049 mm as the maximum digging reach. Buyers should therefore confirm the required boom and arm configuration with HEKING before quotation and production.

For dredging or environmental projects, the selected bucket and any other attachment should also be matched to the material being excavated and the intended working method.
