Custom Kobelco with amphibious undercarriage

 

Brisvegas Machinery has delivered a highly specialised Kobelco SK200-10 excavator, fitted with a Remu E22 amphibious track set, to long-standing partner Ezyquip Hire.


The bespoke machine is purpose-built to operate in the challenging terrain of Far North Queensland, and marks a significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration between the two companies.

Manufactured in Finland, the Remu E22 undercarriage transforms the Kobelco SK200-10 into a purpose-built, versatile solution for swamp, wetland, and shallow water environments.

The Big Float system features wide pontoons and hydraulically extendable tracks, offering superior stability and mobility in soft terrain.

Remu’s amphibious undercarriages are globally recognised for their performance in dredging, environmental restoration, and waterway maintenance.

The Kobelco SK200-10 is a proven performer in civil and mining applications, known for its fuel efficiency, smooth hydraulics, and robust construction.

This particular unit has been customised with an extended boom and stick, providing additional reach for aquatic work.

The bucket will primarily be used to manoeuvre the machine through water, swamp, and dam environments — an innovative adaptation tailored to the conditions in North Queensland.

Ezyquip Hire, established in 2008, has built a strong reputation for delivering results across Australia’s civil and mining sectors.

The company’s fleet and experienced team have enabled it to take on some of the country’s most demanding projects. This latest addition to its fleet reflects its commitment to innovation and operational excellence.

Ezyquip National Business Development Manager Nick Darcy worked closely with Brisvegas Machinery Managing Director Kane Bennett to bring this project to life.

The successful delivery was made possible through the combined efforts of both organisations, including field staff, project managers, logistics teams, and technical support.

“This project is a great example of what can be achieved when trust, innovation, and strong relationships come together,” Kane said. “The partnership between Brisvegas and Ezyquip goes beyond business — it’s built on years of collaboration and mutual respect. Delivering a machine this unique is a proud moment for our team.”

The amphibious SK200-10 is now en route to its deployment site, where it will begin operations in terrain that demands both engineering precision and adaptability.

“Brisvegas Machinery is honoured to support Ezyquip Hire in its continued pursuit of excellence and looks forward to future collaborations that push the boundaries of what’s possible,” Kane said.
