| Multi-Synchronous Drive System | |||
| Proprietary 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. | |||
| Swampy areas are not necessary flat, and one will realize the full potential when tracking on uneven and high | |||
| viscosity muddy terrains. | |||
| Hydraulic Extendable & Retractable Pontoons | |||
| Extension and retraction of pontoons “on the fly”. | |||
| When fully extended, it offers the extra stability needed when situation calls for. | |||
| Provide the flexibility of narrow track width when fully retracted when needs arises. | |||
| Designed for ease of land transportation of complete machine by trailer when pontoons are fully retracted. | |||
| Higher ROI through long term saving of manpower, crane hiring and other logistical cost. | |||
| Hydraulic extendable pontoons is a standard feature for 12 ton class and below amphibious machine. | |||
| Non Hydraulic Extendable | |||
| For non hydraulic extendable design, there are 2 separate locking pin positions for each pontoon on the horizontal | |||
| mounting beams. | |||
| Users can choose their desired overall track width during the installation process. | |||
| Pontoon Design & Construction | |||
| Each pontoon has 2 bulk heads with 3 water tight compartments which are hermetically sealed. | |||
| The pontoon is designed with sufficient displacement applying Archimedes’ Principle to ensure the entire | |||
| amphibious excavator is able to float on water as a safety feature. | |||
| Each pontoon comes with manholes for easy access to its interior for servicing and maintenance. | |||
| Supplementary Pontoons and Spuds | |||
| Supplementary pontoons can be added on each side to boost stability in deeper water operation. | |||
| Spud piles attach to supplementary pontoons help to overcome buoyancy effect, it offers added stability and | |||
| enhanced operability. | |||
| Pontoons are designed and built with provision for future addition of supplementary pontoon and spud system. | |||
| Future proof in design. | |||
| Track Chain | |||
| The track chain is constructed with premium grade steel imported from Europe. | |||
| The track chain, being one of the most critical component require high level of precision and consistency in the | |||
| manufacturing process. | |||
| Each track link plate is CNC laser cut to utmost precision of the highest standard. | |||
| The track shoe is supported by 2 or 3 strands of track chain offers the advantage of uniform pulling force and | |||
| superior weight distribution across each track shoe. | |||
| The hard working sprockets, rollers and pins are made from hardened steel, reducing the frequency of | |||
| replacement and costly down time. | |||
| Rollers are traveling on a strip of wear resistant steel plate (Hardox), prevent premature wearing to the | |||
| pontoons. | |||
| Every roller has an embedded bushing (in red). The bushing protects and extends the useful working life of the | |||
| track chain. | |||
| Replaceable Sprockets | |||
| Sprockets are machined to high precision. | |||
| Induction hardened for durability. | |||
| Each sprocket is bolted onto the axle which can be easily replaced individually. | |||
| Replacement process is simple and perfect alignment is guaranteed. | |||
| For competitors’ weld-on sprocket design, replacement is much more tedious, complicated and costly. | |||
| Track Shoe | |||
| Track shoes are steel fabricated. | |||
| Steel is much more malleable than aluminum, and it has a wider spread between yield strength and ultimate | |||
| tensile strength. | |||
| The key distinct advantage of steel over aluminum is, it is less prone to cracking. | |||
| The steel track shoes used have a typical tensile strength of 69,600 psi (480 MPa) and yield strength of 40,600 | |||
| psi (280 MPa). | |||
| Competitors who used 6061-T6 aluminum track shoe have a typical tensile strength of about 42,000 psi (290 | |||
| MPa) and yield strength of about 35,000 psi (241 MPa). | |||
| The track shoe is reinforced box design, enhancing the floating capability. | |||
| A large adjacent surface area translates to enhance traction on soft terrain, and higher efficiency when | |||
| “paddling” in water. | |||
| Modular Design | |||
| Both the assembly and disassembly processes can be achieved in under 3 hours if equipped with proper | |||
| tools and crane. | |||
| No special tooling is required for the assembly and disassembly process. | |||
| Designed to be easily transported by low bed trailer. | |||
| Undercarriage modules and attachments are designed to be able to fit into 40 ft container. | |||
