Скачать или смотреть Riding on Water! The Power of HITACHI’s Amphibious Excavator

This excavator is manufactured by “HITACHI” and has been specially modified for water operations rather than standard land-based work. It is commonly referred to as an “amphibious excavator” or “duck-foot excavator.”

The machine is equipped with “floats” underneath to provide buoyancy, allowing it to float and operate directly on the water surface. This type of amphibious excavator is mainly used for dredging operations in rivers, swamps, and wetlands — that is, digging up mud and cleaning riverbeds.

Incidentally, although this excavator is branded “HITACHI,” amphibious versions like this can either be official modified models from Hitachi or customized versions modified later by specialized companies.
