When working in marshes and other wet marshes, you need equipment that can float in these fragile environments. Thankfully, that's what the swamp digger was built for. Read on to learn more about how a swamp digger works.
Components
Swamp excavators, also known as amphibious vehicles, are widely used. They consist of amphibious landing gear and sealed pontoons, allowing them to be dredged while floating in shallow water. These pontoons are made of high-strength steel that is resistant to sea water and corrosion.
Uses
Contrary to popular belief, swamp diggers are not built specifically for swamp work. They are also ideal for flood zones, river beds and projects close to the ocean. Amphibious vehicles are an economical and efficient way to lay pipelines, dredge, and carry out flood and disaster recovery, levee construction, environmental remediation and road construction.
Swamp excavators are most helpful in dredging projects. Standard excavators often get stuck or have limited range in these shallow waters, but amphibious vehicles are able to solve this problem by literally "walking on water."
Features
One of the main features of swamp excavators is their buoyancy through sealed pontoons. The track chain is combined with multiple synchronous hydraulic drives to achieve fast and precise movement. Their track chains are also ideal for floating and provide stability and traction efficiency in a variety of soil environments.
Swamp excavators are ideal for wet environments such as marshes, marshes or flood areas. If you need help with a specific swamp excavation, pipe clearing, reclamation, steamboat transport or disaster cleanup, please contact us immediately.
