Hyundai Amphibious Excavators

Working in swampy or flood-prone environments requires more than standard construction equipment. You need a machine that delivers dependable performance, keeps your crew safe, and stays productive even in the softest ground conditions. Wetland Equipment specializes in custom-engineered amphibious excavators, and we proudly offer complete solutions for Hyundai machines. Our Hyundai amphibious excavators are purpose-built to deliver maximum mobility, stability, and efficiency across wetlands, marshes, and other aquatic environments.

What Is a Hyundai Amphibious Excavator?

A Hyundai amphibious excavator is a standard Hyundai crawler excavator that has been modified with a specialized undercarriage system designed to float and travel across soft, saturated, or shallow-water surfaces. These machines are fitted with sealed pontoons and heavy-duty tracks that distribute weight evenly and prevent the excavator from sinking. This setup allows contractors to tackle jobs in areas that would be inaccessible or unsafe with traditional wheeled or track equipment.

Hyundai’s excavators already offer excellent digging power, hydraulic control, and fuel efficiency. By adding Wetland Equipment’s amphibious undercarriage, the result is a versatile, high-performing machine that can operate in environments like:

Swamps
Marshes
Riverbanks
Floodplains
Coastal wetlands
Peat bogs
Deltas and estuaries

About Wetland Equipment

Available Hyundai Excavator Models for Amphibious Conversion

We can build amphibious undercarriages for a wide range of Hyundai crawler models, including:

Hyundai HX220L – A highly popular 22-ton class machine that delivers solid performance in mid-size dredging and restoration projects.

Hyundai HX260AL – Ideal for heavy-duty tasks with powerful digging and lifting capacities.

Hyundai HX300AL – A reliable workhorse with high productivity in tougher environments.

Hyundai R210LC-9 and R220LC-9 – Efficient models that pair well with mid-size pontoons for marshland and river work.

Each undercarriage is engineered to accommodate the unique weight distribution and performance characteristics of the specific Hyundai model. If you’re unsure which size is best for your application, our team is happy to evaluate your project specs and recommend the right match.

Advanced Undercarriage Design for Wetland Performance

At the heart of our Hyundai amphibious excavators is a custom-built undercarriage designed to deliver both floatation and traction. Our pontoons are crafted from marine-grade steel, fully welded, and internally reinforced to provide long-term strength without compromising buoyancy.

Key undercarriage features include:

Sealed and reinforced pontoons for stability and rust resistance
Corrosion-resistant hardware and track chains
Bolt-on track pads for easy replacement and maintenance
Hydraulic retractable spud systems to anchor the machine during excavation
Optional side pontoons to increase surface area and floatation in deeper water
Modular track chains designed for easy service and transport

This level of engineering allows the excavator to travel across deep mud, shallow water, and floating vegetation with minimal ground pressure and reduced risk of getting stuck.

Can Excavators Go in Water?

Wetland Equipment dredges deeper into this intriguing topic and explores the possibilities, limitations, and the perfect solution for aquatic construction: amphibious excavators.

Bodies of Water To Use Wetland Equipment

Water work rewards precision and punishes guesswork. Soft soils, sneaky currents, and fragile shorelines can turn a simple task into a stalled project if the wrong machine rolls in. The fix is not more iron but the right iron, tuned to the water in front of you.

Advantages of a Marsh Buggy

When it comes to navigating wetlands, swamps, and other soft terrain environments, few machines are as capable and dependable as a marsh buggy.
