Built for the most challenging wetlands, river deltas, and shallow water environments, this 22-ton New Amphibious Excavator represents a fusion of standard excavator power and specialized marine-grade mobility. Utilizing a dual-pontoon undercarriage to achieve an exceptionally low ground pressure of less than 2.5 psi, this machine floats in water over 1.5 meters deep while delivering the digging force required for heavy-duty dredging and pile driving . Designed to tackle projects where conventional excavators sink, this unit is powered by a Tier 3 compliant diesel engine and features a long-reach boom offering up to 50% more reach than standard models .
Investing in this amphibious excavator directly addresses the logistical bottlenecks and high costs of operating in wet environments. Unlike conventional machinery that requires expensive matting, barges, or temporary access roads, this machine drives directly into the work zone, eliminating setup time and reducing site preparation costs . Key competitive advantages include:
The performance of this amphibious excavator is driven by an industrial-grade powertrain and a structurally reinforced frame. The prime mover is typically a high-torque, fuel-efficient Cummins or Isuzu diesel engine equipped with a Bosch high-pressure common rail injection system, ensuring reliable power output and optimal fuel economy even under a continuous 100% load cycle . The upper structure retains the robustness of a standard excavator while the undercarriage features an extendable pontoon system. This hydraulically adjustable width increases stability during lifting and piling operations and retracts for easy transport. The hydraulic system is designed for precise multi-function operations, allowing simultaneous boom, arm, and swing movements without power loss. The cabin is fully pressurized and ergonomically designed to reduce operator fatigue, featuring an adjustable suspension seat and intuitive joystick controls .
Below is the primary structural and performance data for the 22-ton amphibious excavator. Note that specifications may vary based on final configuration and the specific upper brand (e.g., Caterpillar, Komatsu, or Kobelco) .
This machine is engineered for large-scale environmental restoration projects, including the widening and deepening of shipping channels. It excels at removing sediment build-up, reshaping shorelines, and stabilizing eroding banks. In projects such as the Houston Ship Channel expansion, amphibious excavators were critical for clearing grubbing, perimeter trenching, and constructing semi-compacted dikes in areas where standard excavators could not operate .
Perfect for ecologically sensitive areas like marshlands and swamps. The low ground pressure minimizes damage to delicate ecosystems while allowing for precise excavation of drainage ditches, installation of utility lines, and preparation of foundation pads for wind turbines or structures on reclaimed land .
Equipped with an excavator-mounted vibratory hammer, this amphibious machine becomes a specialized tool for waterfront pile driving. It can be used for driving sheet piles, H-piles, or pipe piles for dock, pier, and bulkhead construction. The floating design and stabilizer spuds provide the stable platform necessary for precise pile placement, dramatically reducing reliance on costly crane barges .
Based on current market data for comparable new models and configurations (such as the SY205C and the 22-ton Kobelco), the estimated export B2B price ranges from $210,000 to $230,000 USD FOB China . This is significantly more competitive than U.S. government procurement prices for similar spec units, which can exceed $230,000 for specialized configurations . The final price is dependent on the specific engine, upper structure brand, and attachments selected.
For standard models in stock, we can provide prompt shipment with a lead time of approximately 15-20 days for order processing and preparation. Shipping time depends on the destination, but via RoRo or Container shipping from China to major global ports typically ranges from 20 to 45 days. We have extensive experience navigating international logistics and customs clearance to ensure a smooth delivery process .
Yes, we offer a comprehensive 1-Year Global Warranty covering the full machine for factory defects. This aligns with industry standards and provides assurance for international buyers . We maintain a dedicated global spare parts supply chain to minimize downtime. A complete set of wearing parts, including track shoes, seals, and hydraulic filters, can be shipped alongside the machine or air-freighted quickly for critical repairs.
Our standard engines are compliant with global Tier 3 emissions standards, balancing power with environmental responsibility. Fuel efficiency is a key design aspect; the advanced hydraulic system matches the engine's output to the load, preventing wasted fuel. Typically, a machine of this class consumes roughly 20-25 liters of diesel per hour under standard full-load operations, which is highly efficient for its heavy-duty capacity .
We provide comprehensive operation and maintenance manuals with every shipment. While this machine operates similarly to a standard excavator, we also offer optional on-site or remote operator training provided by our factory technicians to ensure the crew is fully prepared to handle the specialized floating and long-reach functions safely and efficiently.
