Noise is one of those jobsite realities that you only think about when it becomes a problem, which is why many crews ask how loud amphibious excavators really are before they commit to marsh, swamp, or shallow-water work.
Working in a marsh, bog, or tidal flat changes the moment your boots land, demanding smart planning, environmental respect, and machinery built for unstable terrain.
Wetland Equipment dredges deeper into this intriguing topic and explores the possibilities, limitations, and the perfect solution for aquatic construction: amphibious excavators.
Water work demands precision. Soft soils, shifting currents, and fragile shorelines quickly stall progress without the right machine built to handle aquatic conditions.
When it comes to navigating wetlands, swamps, and other soft terrain environments, few machines are as capable and dependable as a marsh buggy.
While they are undoubtedly capable in shallow water, understanding their limitations and potential modifications for deep-water operations is key for determining their suitability.
Dredging, the process of removing sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbors, and other water bodies, has been a cornerstone of maritime development for centuries.
Are you seeking an equipment upgrade to manage challenging terrains with superior efficiency and control? Take a look at amphibious excavators!
A swamp excavator, also known as an amphibious excavator, pontoon excavator, or floating excavator, is a type of digging machine that can perform dredging and similar tasks while remaining afloat in swampy terrain that would normally be inaccessible to traditional excavation machines.
Can excavators float? If they’re Wetland Equipment’s custom swamp buggies, they sure can!
Amphibious excavators, as the name implies, have been designed to operate within wet areas where some serious mass-moving is needed. However, a wetland excavator is more than just a mechanical arm for leverage.
This is a Cat we did a few years ago for a great customer down South. Operator's first time on an amphibious excavator. Notice how he tests the depth of the water before entering.
