We are indeed proud to
be the pioneer amphibious excavator (aka floating excacator) manufacturer and premium supplier in Malaysia.
We are now the largest amphibious excavator manufacturer in South East Asia with world wide
recognition for our quality and superior performance. With our
successful track records in designing
and providing long reach attachment for numerous and unique dredging
applications over the years, it is a natural progression for us to continue providing more
comprehensive products to satisfy our customers' never ending quest for enhanced efficiency,
safety and leading edge solutions. Our customers can
look upon us to provide a complete package to carry out tasks in challengingterrains with incredible efficiency and high ROI (Return On Investment). An amphibious excavator / marsh buggy is specifically designed to manoeuvre in
marshy and swampy area, soft terrain, as well as floating on water.
A long reach front amphibious
excavator
has always been in our product design roadmap. Our exposure during the many years of
working with our customers in overcoming various challenging terrains has
provided us with a wealth of experience and knowledge behind the design.
Completely self propelled and could virtually access to all terrains and yet requires
minimum supporting transportation or hoisting equipment.
Greater versatility can be
easily achieved when used in conjunction with the wide range of attachments we
produce. We have in house expertise in designing customized attachments in
tackling unique challenges where traditional off-the- shelf solution fail to deliver.

Hydraulic
Extendable Pontoons:
|
 |
An optional design
feature allows each pontoon to retract or
extend outward hydraulically. A fully retracted pontoons
with reduced footprint provides the added advantage and convenience
of transporting the machine on trailer without dismantling into
modules. A tremendous saving on logistical cost over time. Fully
extended pontoons provides the extra stability when situation call
for.
Undercarriage designed for 14 ton
class excavator and below comes with the hydraulic
extendable control
system. This is
a standard feature regardless whether you invest in our
complete amphibious machine or the pontoons
undercarriage system only. |
|
| |
|
Structural grade tensile
plate is used for the fabrication of the pontoons. The goal is
to construct a high strength and durable base structure
without being overly heavy, hampering its efficiency. The
pontoon is designed to be able to float on water as an added
safety feature (click here to watch video). It has 3 water
tight compartments hermetically sealed with individual manhole
for easy access from outside for inspection and preventive
maintenance. |

Amphibious
excavators work in the harshest conditions you can ever
imagine. Our ultimate goal is to extend the dependable service
life of the amphibious undercarriage system. Pontoons are shot
blasted to ensure that the surface is thoroughly clean and
free from contaminants and rust. In addition, this process
presents the steel with a surface texture that provides
excellent adhesion of prime coat of paint. . |
|
|
Final
Drives:
Proprietary design
using dual or triple (model dependent) synchronous hydraulic motors
on each pontoon. Multiple active motors propelling each pontoon
provides superior tracking power, making it virtually undeterred in
any terrain. A similar concept applies to a full time 4x4 gear
system of a land vehicle. Most single motor powered pontoon require
reduction system to reduce traveling speed. Our proprietary dual or
triple motors system are designed to retain as much of the original
excavator traveling speed as possible.
Many users do not realize that not all swampy areas are flat but
undulating, and mud viscosity varies widely from area to area and
country to country. One would fully appreciate the superior design
of multi synchronous motor powered pontoons in the most challenging
terrains.
Another key advantage is it has a higher ground speed. We have
conducted field tests and it has been proven that when tracking in
thick muddy ground, a higher traveling speed and momentum coupled
with front and back synchronize motor tracking can drastically
reduce the risk of being stuck.
|
Track Chain:
Each pontoon
comprises of 2 or 3 strands (model dependent) of heavy duty
track chain, constructed with high yield strength tensile
steel. Track shoes/cleats supported by 3 strands of track
chain provide the advantage of uniform pulling force and
superior weight distribution across each track shoe/cleat.
The hard working sprockets and rollers are make from hardened
steel, reducing the frequency of replacement and costly down
time.
|
 |
|
 |
Each roller has an
embedded bushing that greatly prolongs the useful working life
of the track chain. Rollers are traveling on a strip of wear
resistant steel plate, preventing any form of premature
wearing to the pontoons. |
|
|
|
Track
Shoe:
Track cleats are steel
fabricated. Steel material is favoured over aluminium alloy because
of its malleable property. It has a much wider spread between yield
strength and ultimate tensile strength. The distinct advantage of
steel over aluminum is it is less prone to crack.
The steel track cleat used has a minimum yield strength and tensile
strength of 280 Mpa (40,600 psi) and 480 Mpa (69,600 psi)
respectively, which translates to approximately 16% and 65%
improvement of yield strength and tensile strength respectively over
6061 T6 aluminium alloy.

Storage Compartment: |
|
|
The original
counterweight can be replaced with a well constructed general
purpose storage and tool box compartment as an option.
Customed design and build to fit snugly at the back of the
excavator. An innovative and welcoming feature.

Attachments:
Default configuration of
the amphibious excavator is equipped with the original boom, arm and
bucket that comes as standard items with the excavator unless
otherwise stated. Customer has the option to replace the standard
boom and arm with a long reach attachment. The convenience of an
extended reach and greater working range is always a welcomed
advantage when carrying out work in marsh land and dredging related
applications.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the AmphiTrex float on water?
All our AmphiTrex machines are designed to float on water as a
safety feature. Click on the following filmstrip to view video clip
where an AmphiTrex being towed on water by boat.

Can the
Amphibious machine turn easily on dry ground?
Absolutely! Our proprietary multi-synchronous drive motor system is
a leap forward from the conventional dual motor undercarriage
design. Not only manoeuvre effectively on hard and dry terrain, it can powered the entire machine up a slope with
tremendous ease. We
have fundamentally changed the paradigm behind the decades old
technology.
