AMPHIBIOUS EXCAVATOR

The excavators are able to work in extremely boggy conditions, where a normal machine could not. The prime purpose of developing the amphibious machines was to increase our capability of working on very soft terrain or in water up to 1.2 metres deep. The machines have been fitted with a long – reach boom and stick to give a combined length of 12 – 14 metres reach.

In addition to working on ponds, dams and salt lakes, they can be used for:

• Cleaning out slime ponds

• Removal of drainage silt from flood or storm events

• Dredging and general marina maintenance

• Tailings management

• Establishment of diversion channels and Water Storage Facilities in very
  wet boggy areas.

RAPID offer this specialised equipment for hire on a long and short term basis.

The uses are endless and with projects pushing the boundaries of the site conditions we wish to build upon, amphibious equipment is an excellent solution for tasks such as:

• Geotechnical Test holes

• Tailings Management

• Silt Management

• Erosion Management

• Land Reclamation

• Marina Maintenance

• Swamp Clearing

• Pond Cleaning

• Dredging

• Rehabilitation

• Surface Drainage

• Brine Trenching.
