EIK® is a recognized name that specializes in designing and building high performance amphibious excavators and quality attachments for various makes and models of earth moving equipment. It is represented in the Philippines by BBLM Enterprises, Inc.
An amphibious excavator/marsh buggy is specifically designed to maneuver in marshy, swampy area and soft terrain, and can also float on water as an added safety feature. It is completely self-propelled and can virtually access all terrains. However, it requires minimum transportation and hoisting equipment support, thanks to EIK's development of the patented ‘multi-synchronous direct drive‘ system, a pivotal technology that positioned it at the forefront of amphibious excavator design. EIK is now the largest full-range amphibious excavator manufacturer by volume in South East Asia with worldwide recognition for quality and superior performance.
EIK Amphibious Excavators can perform a variety of tasks, such as:
- Maintenance/clean-up of waterways, lakes, shorelines, ponds, etc.
- Erosion control and prevention.
- Deepening of waterways and river deltas.
- Maintenance and repair of natural environment.
- Flood protection and flood maintenance works.
- Landscape building and protection.
- Accessing difficult strands of water/soft terrain.
Swamp and wetland construction.
Road building through wetlands.
The high performance amphibious excavator is powered by our patented ‘multi-synchronous hydraulic motor direct drive’ system, the pivotal technology positioning EIK at the forefront of amphibious excavator design.
The undercarriage design offers extremely low ground pressure, making it the only undercarriage system that allows an excavator to work on swamps and soft terrain.
EIK amphibious excavator is also designed to be able to float on water as a safety feature.
Each pontoon can be hydraulically extended outward for better stability during operation, or retracted to narrow position when being transported.
EIK amphibious excavator has performed well with the following features:
- Patented multi-synchronous hydraulic motor direct drive system: multiple active motors per pontoon provides superior traction under virtually any terrain.
- 2 bulkheads per pontoon, shot-blasted and hermetically sealed for safety and reliability.
- Service manholes on each pontoon for easy maintenance and field servicing.
- Heavy duty track chain system, laser trimmed to extreme precision.
- Hardened rollers/bushings for extended operation life.
- Bolt-on sprocket system for perfect track pitch alignment.
- Modular design for easy transportation.
