1. Industry Pain Points of Amphibious Excavators

Many engineering contractors face these common frustrations with traditional amphibious excavators:

  • Traditional amphibious excavators are either too “standardized” in design, making them unsuitable for complex construction scenarios,
  • Or their performance suffers significantly after modification, with issues such as “water leakage during aquatic operations” or “insufficient power during mud and tidal flat operations.”
  • What’s even more troublesome is that many manufacturers focus only on laboratory design parameters, neglecting how the equipment performs in actual construction work. The result is that when the equipment is brought into the field, it’s discovered to be “difficult to use” and “not durable,” and frequent repairs can delay the project, increasing costs.amphibious excavator

2. Why Us Different?

As a factory specializing in the modification & manufacture of amphibious excavators, built from a construction background, we deeply understand the complexity of construction scenarios. Over 20 years of experience in the field has taught us that a truly “Usable and Reliable” amphibious excavator must undergo practical testing and continuous optimization and improvement.

(1) Construction DNA: From User to Innovator

  • Historical Origin: 20 years ago, we were still a construction contractor. Due to the inability of traditional equipment on the market to meet the demands of complex working conditions, we decided to independently develop and modify equipment.
  • Data Backing: We have participated in over 200 aquatic engineering projects, covering various complex scenarios such as swamps, tidal flats, and river channels.
  • Iteration Logic: Each improvement to our equipment is based on the real construction feedback, such as “tracks being too long, causing difficulty in water entry” and “buoyancy design lacking stability.” Through repeated testing, we find the optimal solution.

(2) Technological Differentiation: Practical Modification Solutions
Our equipment design always adheres to the principle of being “construction scenario-oriented.” Below are several core technological highlights:

  • Power System Optimization: For muddy and soft soil environments, we have specially tuned the hydraulic power, improving it by 30% compared to industry standards.
  • Buoyancy Structure Patent Design: Featuring a detachable floatation module, our design can be flexibly adjusted for different water depths, ensuring equipment stability.
  • Corrosion-resistant Process Upgrade: The equipment surface is treated with a 4-layer special coating, effectively addressing corrosion issues from both saline and freshwater environments, extending the service life by three times.

(3) Service Advantages: From Selling Products to Selling Solutions
We not only provide high-quality amphibious equipment, but also offer comprehensive construction support throughout the entire process:

  • Free Worksite Diagnosis: We provide equipment configuration recommendations based on the construction terrain (e.g., amphibious pontoon dimension, excavator arm length, bucket type).
  • Modification Consultation Service: We offer “targeted upgrade packages” for existing excavator equipment, reducing the cost for customers to replace their machines.

4. Customer Testimonials: Real Construction Results

Case 1: Caofeidian Land Reclamation Project (2004)

In 2004, we were honored to participate in the Caofeidian land reclamation project, jointly led by the Yangtze River Navigation Administration and the Shanghai Navigation Administration. This national-level major project not only demonstrated our technical strength but also provided us with invaluable construction experience. Through this project, our amphibious excavators performed excellently in complex aquatic environments, offering important insights for the optimization and improvement of our subsequent products.

Case 2: Shenzhen Maozhou River Waterway Management Project (2018)

In the Shenzhen Maozhou River water environment management project, we undertook the core task of dredging the Guangming section of the river. The total investment in the project was as high as 4.372 billion yuan, covering three major areas: riverway management, pipeline construction, and water landscape upgrading. We were responsible for the management of 43.5 kilometers of riverway, 266.1 kilometers of pipeline construction, and the upgrading of 231.3 hectares of landscape. The successful implementation of the project not only improved water quality and environmental aesthetics but also further solidified our professional position in the field of water environment management.

Case 3: CNOOC Bohai West Oil and Gas Field Pipeline Relocation Project (2019)

In 2019, we successfully undertook the CNOOC Bohai West oil and gas field pipeline relocation project. This key project involved laying a 12-inch single-layer concrete-weighted gas pipeline and 10-inch/16-inch double-layer oil and water mixed transmission pipelines to ensure smooth connection to the new terminal. The successful completion of the project not only enhanced our strength in energy infrastructure but also injected new momentum into the region’s economic development.
