Pontoon Undercarriage for Excavators: A Comprehensive Guide - Bonovo

12-27-2023

In the construction industry, excavators are essential tools for a variety of tasks. They can be used to dig, lift, and move heavy objects, and they can be used in a variety of environments, including on land, in water, and in mud.

Pontoon undercarriages are a type of undercarriage that allows excavators to operate in water. They are made up of a series of buoyant pontoons that support the excavator's weight and keep it afloat.

Pontoon undercarriages offer a number of advantages over traditional undercarriages. They allow excavators to operate in water, which can be a valuable asset for a variety of applications. For example, pontoon undercarriages can be used to:

• Dredging 

• Removing aquatic vegetation

• Building or repairing bridges and other structures

• Cleaning or repairing shorelines

Types of Pontoon Undercarriages

There are two main types of pontoon undercarriages: retractable and fixed.

• Retractable pontoon undercarriages are designed to be stored or transported on land. They are typically made up of a series of inflatable pontoons that are connected to the excavator's undercarriage. When the excavator is in use in water, the pontoons are inflated to support the excavator's weight. When the excavator is not in use in water, the pontoons can be deflated and stored.

• Fixed pontoon undercarriages are designed to be permanently installed on the excavator. They are typically made up of a series of solid pontoons that are attached to the excavator's undercarriage. Fixed pontoon undercarriages are more expensive than retractable pontoon undercarriages, but they are also more durable and require less maintenance.

Choosing the Right Pontoon Undercarriage

The type of pontoon undercarriage that is right for you will depend on your specific needs and requirements. If you need an excavator that can be transported on land, then a retractable pontoon undercarriage is a good option. If you need an excavator that will be used primarily in water, then a fixed pontoon undercarriage is a better choice.
