2019 Amphibious Undercarriage What’s New and Better?
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 2 • Track shoe ‘wrap’ around the entire pontoon, eliminate the chance of track shoes rubbing against the axle mounting support. • AM80-5E floating capacity has increased by 15%. • Manholes have been relocated to the inner side of the pontoon. – EXCEPT for AM140-4E model. New Pontoon Design Current design Axle mounting support New Design
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 3 • Shorter axle, increased overall rigidity & weight reduction. • Transportation width reduced by 5-7% (model dependent) – Floating capacity maintained. • Rigidity increased by at least 30% through the use of high strength steel. • Wear resistance property has increased by 100%. – Reduce maintenance cycle and cost. New Pontoon Design
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 4 • At least 8% increased in torque. – improved traction power in all type of terrains. • Excavator’s engine horse power and hydraulic pump capacity will have direct impact on traction power. • Increased reliability. New motor supplier has strong track record for its quality. • A major OEM supplier to global leading excavator manufacturers. Upgrade of Hydraulic Motor
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 5 • Grease piston adjustor, similar concept as track crawler tensioning system. • Stainless steel piston rod, minimum maintenance required. • Considerably less effort in tensioning the track chain as compared to the previous bolt system design. Tensioning Adjustor Grease piston adjustor
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 6 Improved Motor Cover • Motor covers are flushed with side of the pontoon. Less chance of trapping debris. • Hydraulic hoses are fully concealed and protected.
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 7 • Track Chain – Steel strength has increased by 50% • Sprocket – Wear resistance property has increased by 100% – Steel strength has increased by 50% Track Chain & Sprocket
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 8 • Improved internal structural layout. • Using higher yield strength steel, increased rigidity by at least 30%. • AM80-5E & AM140-4E/5E come with a detachable ring. – Increased flexibility in changing of upper body brand and model. • Mechanical locking arm as a secondary safety feature to hold pontoon in position. New Center Frame Mechanical Locking arm
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 9 • Swivel joint comes with an extra port. Compatible with all excavator brands & models. • Operator not required to get off from the cabin to manually operator spuds & extend/retract of pontoons undercarriage. – An enhancement to operational safety. • Hydraulic hoses are neatly organized, easily accessible for servicing and maintenance. Custom Design Swivel Joint
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 10 • Built-in dual relief valves for hydraulic spuds – To control operational pressure at the optimal level. – To regulate speed, smoother operation during deployment and retraction. – Increased cable life span. Improved Spuds System
Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability 11 New Models will be launched progressively.
