Pontoon construction: Each pontoon has 9 compartments 3 bulkheads

providing 4 independent watertight compartments. The pontoon bottoms
are reinforced for rough terrain operation.

Drive System: Power for the pontoon tracks is provided by the excavator's
diesel engine and main hydraulic pumps through a hydraulic swivel.
Hydraulic travel motors, brakes and gearboxes are specifically engineered
by Wetland Equipment for operation in all conditions. Pontoon tracks are
driven independently. Final reduction is provided by chain and sprocket.
Drive axles and sprockets use splined shafts and hubs. No Keyways are
used.

Speed: up to 1.5 mph on hard dry surface & 0.5 mph in water (2.4 km/h dry
land, 0.8 km/h water)

Gradeability: 100% grade

Steering: Standard excavator travel
controls are used. Capable of
counter rotating by pushing one
leaver and pulling the other without
moving back and forth or using
excavator boom for assistance

Drive Chain: Heavy Duty double

crimped roller chain

Track Chain: Three strands of heavy-

duty 4" (101.6 mm) pitch marsh
buggy track chain per pontoon.

Track Cleats: Specially designed

4" (101.6 mm) marine grade,
extruded aluminum alloy cleats with
1 wear pad per cleat

Bearings: Pontoons have bearings on all four corners. No Bushings are used

Pontoon Track chain Adjustment: Track chain adjustments adjust full life of
chain without removal of track chain links or cleats. Minimum of 18 in
(457mm) on front and rear of pontoon

Paint: Blasted, Zinced, primed, then (customer color choice) Ploy top coat.
Inside pontoon primed to prevent rust

Upgrade Options:
Cat Walk: Down both sides of the excavator and around the counterweight
fuel tank constructed of Steel bar grading. All designed to mount to the
excavator body and bolted in place for easy removal.
Hand Rails: Removable hand rails can be mounted to the catwalks and/or
welded to the auxiliary counterweight/fuel tank
Counterweight/fuel tank: Factory counterweight to be deleted and replaced
with a minimum 350 gallon (1,324.75 liters) combination fuel tank/
counterweight. Tank should have a skid resistant top. Tank duplicates
pontoon color and paint process. Tank has its own filtering system, shut-off
and directional valves. Tank is attached to excavator not pontoons. Transfer
pumps not required

Features:
* Larger pontoons for extra flotation,
* Wider Overall for stability in water and safety of operator
* Extra-long track chain adjusters (life of chain adjusters)
* Recessed chains and pads help keep mud and debris to a minimum
* 2 rows of 4” track chain (stronger, longer chain and wear bar life, less
ground pressure)
* Disassembles into 3 main pieces for ease of transport
* Bolt together Assembly (NEVER Touch hydraulics)
* Pillow Block Bearings mounted vertically @ each comer
* Nine (9) Compartments Four (4) watertight
* Measurements are approximate pending upgraded options
* All Our Pontoons are built with patented features to reduce down time and
improve productivity to keep machine working longer. These Patients keep
cost down for the equipment owner
