2020 Amphibious UndercarriageWhat’s New and Better?

2New Pontoon Design• Track shoe ‘wrap’ around the entire pontoon, eliminate the chance of track shoes rubbing against the axle mounting support.New DesignCurrent Design• AM80-5E floating capacity has increased by 15%. • Manholes have been relocated to the inner side of the pontoon.– EXCEPT for AM140-4E model. Designed for Functionality, Engineered for ReliabilityAxle mounting support

3New Pontoon Design• Shorter axle, increased overall rigidity & weight reduction.• Steel strength increased by 100%.• Wear resistant property increased by 100%.• Rigidity increased by at least 30%.• These improvements have reduced the maintenance cycle and operating cost.• Made in Japan travel motor, up to 8% increased in torque.• Increased in reliability. New motor supplier has strong track record for its quality.• A major OEM supplier to global leading excavator manufacturers.• Transportation width reduced by 4-7% (model dependent)• Floating capacity maintained.• Floating capacity for AM80-5E has increased by 15%.Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability

4Track Chain & Sprocket• New sprocket design, lighter and stronger.• Steel strength increased by 100%.• Wear resistant property increased by 100%.• Reduced maintenance cycle and operating cost.• Chamfered track link to minimize direct contact with sprocket.• Extend sprocket life span.• Steel strength increased by 100%.Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability• Grease sealed roller. A world first for amphibious excavator track chain.• Increased life span by at least 20%

5New Center Frame• Embedded hydraulic cylinder design.• Protection against external debris.• New internal structural layout to enhance the dissipation of stress throughout the center frame.• Extensively use of high strength steel.• Increased rigidity and torsion resistant by at least 30%.• Mechanical locking arm as a secondary safety feature to hold pontoon in position during operation.Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability• AM80-5E & AM140-4E/5E come with a detachable ring.• Increased flexibility in changing of upper body brand and model.

6Tensioning Adjustor• Grease piston adjustor, similar concept as track crawler tensioning system.• Stainless steel piston rod, minimum maintenance required.• Considerably less effort in tensioning of the track chain as compared to the previous bolt design.• Ease of serviceability.Grease piston adjustorDesigned for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability

7Fully Concealed Motor• Motor covers are flushed with the side of the pontoon. Eliminate the chance of trapping debris.• Hydraulic motor & hoses are fully concealed and protected against external debris.Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability

8Custom Built Swivel Joint• 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.Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability

9Enhanced Spuds System• Built-in dual relief valves, a future proof design should customer decide to add spud at a later stage.• To control operational pressure at the optimal level.• To regulate speed for smoother operation during deployment and retraction of spud.• Increased cable life span.Designed for Functionality, Engineered for Reliability
