Where a standard undercarriage sinks
Amphibious excavator
“My shrimp pond walls are collapsing and no machine can get in”
A pontoon undercarriage that spreads the machine's weight over a far larger footprint: the excavator floats and moves across mud, mangrove and saturated ground where a conventional track sinks on day one. It combines with a long front when the work is also far from the bank, and with an amphibious carrier when the spoil has to leave the working face.
Where it is used
The jobs it solves
- Shrimp ponds: building, cleaning and maintaining pond walls
- Wetlands, mangroves and estuaries
- Irrigation and drainage canals on saturated ground
- Work on flooded areas and river margins
The configuration depends on the site's soil type and water depth: it is defined in a technical visit before quoting.
It arrives as one machine, with one point of responsibility
A single point of responsibility
The base machine, the special configuration and the commissioning arrive as one machine delivered by the group. No finger-pointing between suppliers when something fails.
Local support for the base machine
It is a Komatsu: parts, workshop and certified technicians in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama, with the same KOMTRAX telematics as the rest of the fleet.
Sized against the project
Reach, depth and soil type govern, not a catalog. It is defined in a technical visit and quoted against the real job, not against a list of options.

Getting the spoil out of the swamp
Tell us the job, not the machine
What has to be moved, at what depth, over what ground and for how long. With that we define the base machine and the configuration, and the proposal comes back against the real job.
