Thanks to our patented ‘Multi-Synchronous Direct Drive System’, a pivotal technology developed by EIK that positions us at the forefront of amphibious excavator design. We are now the largest full range (11 models) amphibious excavator manufacturer by volume in South East Asia with worldwide recognition for our quality and superior performance.

SHOT BLASTING

Pontoons are shot blasted to ensure that the surface is thoroughly clean and free from contaminants and rust. In addition, this process presents the steel with a surface texture that provides excellent adhesion of prime coat of paint.

HYDRAULIC EXTENDABLE PONTOONS

An optional design feature allows each pontoon to retract or extend outward hydraulically. A fully retracted pontoon with a reduced footprint provides the added advantage and convenience of transporting the machine on trailer without dismantling into modules. A tremendous saving on logistical cost over time. Fully extended pontoons provide extra stability when situations call for.

The hydraulic control is totally independent (non shared) from the existing hydraulic circuit. We have an upgrade kit where an auxiliary hydraulic function can be added with full control from the operator cabin. Click on the video for details.

SUPPLEMENTARY PONTOONS AND SPUDS

Supplementary pontoons can be easily attached to the outer side of the primary pontoons to enhance stability. The hydraulic-mechanical spuds system which is controlled from the operator cabin is a superb solution to overcome buoyancy in deep water, providing additional stability and enhanced operability on the water up to 4 meters deep.

Users can choose to add the supplementary pontoons and spuds system at the later stage when need arises. Auxiliary hydraulic lines are preinstalled on all primary pontoons whereby the user can simply install without tedious modification. A truly plug-and-play system and future proof in design.

TRACK CHAIN

One of the most critical components of the undercarriage system, is entirely in-house design and manufacture, to ensure proper quality control. One of the criteria of a good design is that the track chain has to perform reliably under various working conditions. Special grade steel is used and precisely trimmed to an extremely tight tolerance. Each roller has an embedded induction hardened bushing that greatly prolongs the useful working life of the track chain.

The high performance amphibious excavator is powered by our patented ‘Multi-Synchronous Hydraulic Motor Direct Drive’ System, the pivotal technology that positions EIK at the forefront of amphibious excavator design.

The undercarriage design offers extremely low ground pressure, making it the only undercarriage system that allows an excavator to work on swamps and soft terrain.

It is also designed to be able to float on water as a safety feature.

Patented multi-synchronous drive motor design.
Motors are mounted on front and rear of each pontoon.
It offers superior tracking power as compared to a single motor design. A similar concept that is applied to a full time 4×4 gear system of a land vehicle.

Direct drive system that minimise mechanical loses of power.
Swampy areas are not necessary flat, and one will realize its full potential when tracking on uneven and high viscosity and muddy terrains.
Motors mounted on front and rear running in synchronous mode provide both push and pull action, offering superior tracking ability.
No modification to the main pump or hydraulic system of your existing excavator is required to accommodate the multi-synchronous drive system.

INTRODUCTION

An amphibious excavator/marsh buggy is specifically designed to manoeuvre in marshy, swampy area and soft terrain, and it can also float on water as an added safety feature. It is completely self-propelled and can virtually access all terrains, and yet requires minimum supporting transportation and hoisting equipment. Thanks to our patented ‘multi-synchronous direct drive‘ system, a pivotal technology developed by EIK that positions us at the forefront of amphibious excavator design. We are now the largest full range (7 models) amphibious excavator manufacturer by volume in South East Asia with worldwide recognition for our quality and superior performance.
