AMPHIBIOUS EXCAVATORS

Specializing in smaller machines up to 13 metric tons, our amphibious excavators are durable, maneuverable, and well balanced. We design them to be easy to transport and operate giving you maximum flexibility leading to reduced transportation and ownership costs.

E35 is the smallest amphibious excavator we build. Lightweight, easy to transport, great for getting into those tight places.

CAT 306 is Caterpillar’s answer to the E50. Slightly larger with a little more horsepower. Another workhorse machine with plenty of power for tough jobs but at a shade under 12' is easy to transport.

When you need more power and lifting capacity than an E50 / CAT 306 and CAT 308 is the next step up.

This is the machine gives you the maximum capacity with minimum of transportation costs. The Wilson Telescopic CAT 308 has an operating width of 13'10" providing the stability you need to leverage the power and lift capacity of the CAT 308. The tracks hydraulically retract to 11'10" for transportation, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of transportation.
