Overview

This 2023 CAT 306 CR Amphibious Excavator pairs a low-hour Caterpillar 306 CR upper with a Wilson Amphibious Undercarriage, delivering true float-and-dig capability in swamp, marsh, retention pond, and shoreline conditions where conventional machines cannot operate.

At just 1.3 PSI ground pressure and a 23,900 lb operating weight, the unit works across saturated soils and open water with minimal disturbance. The 55.9 HP diesel engine, 24 GPM auxiliary hydraulic circuit at 3,550 PSI, and 11,578 lbs of bucket breakout force provide the productivity of a compact excavator with amphibious mobility.

The Wilson pontoons are built from ASTM A588, A572, and A36 steel with specially extruded 6061-T6 aluminum track shoes for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet environments. With 825 hours, this machine is turnkey and ready for immediate deployment.
