Amphibious undercarriage, also known as pontoon undercarriage, is an innovative engineering solution designed for enhancing the operational capabilities of excavators in diverse environments, particularly in waterlogged, swampy, or marshy terrains. By equipping standard excavators with this specialized undercarriage, they are transformed into highly efficient, all-terrain machines capable of navigating both land and water with ease. This adaptation significantly broadens the scope of projects an excavator can undertake, from dredging and land reclamation to environmental restoration. Characterized by its buoyant pontoons and rugged design, the amphibious undercarriage ensures stability, durability, and versatility, making it a valuable asset for construction, mining, and environmental conservation endeavors in challenging landscapes.
Aluminum alloy track shoes: Selected for its light weight and corrosion resistance, aluminum is often used in parts of the undercarriage that benefit from reduced weight without compromising strength.
UHMWPE track shoes/pad: UHMWPE track pad is made of high performance plastic material -Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE). These materials are used for making the track shoes of amphibious undercarriage, offering buoyancy along with resistance to impact, abrasion, and water infiltration.
The two materials mentioned have their respective pros and cons. The advantage of these materials is their lighter weight. However, the drawbacks include higher cost and increased susceptibility to wear and tear. Should you choose to utilize this material for track shoes, we offer customization services. Our standard pontoon undercarriage features track shoes made of steel, which enjoys greater popularity in the Chinese market.
