Next-generation amphibious excavator line
REMU E-Series E22, E10, and E15 are designed for the most challenging environments, built with highly customizable structure, and are easy to transport to, from, and between jobs.
Finnish company REMU will begin shipping the Big Float E15 designed for 10-15-ton excavators in May 2019. It extends the number of Big Float models in its E-Series to three.

“REMU’s Big Float E-Series amphibious excavators provide so much additional strength, productivity potential and efficiency than the offerings from other manufacturers today that REMU has really set the bar higher for the entire industry, and changed dramatically what customers can reasonably expect from equipment in the toughest conditions, says Pavel Syrtsov, REMU business development manager.
The E-Series models’ reliability, quality, and easy serviceability are increasingly making it the equipment of choice for some of the world’s biggest wetland construction contractors. Working long hours in ultra-challenging shoreline and swamp conditions, contractors demand ultra-reliability as well as quick, efficient transport that keeps productivity at peak by saving time, money and man hours. Among Big Float’s most unique and notable features and available options are:
Extendable undercarriage
REMU’s E-Series amphibious excavators are all equipped with a pontoon undercarriage that can be hydraulically adjusted, which offers optimal stability in narrow channels and waterways as well as deep water. The adjustable pontoon undercarriage also saves in time, money and man-hours during transport. Big Float pontoons can quickly be adjusted to as narrow a width as 3.0 meters, depending on model, when competitors’ equipment only narrows to a space almost twice that size. Big Float models can fit on a single truck for transport and don’t have to be either disassembled before transport or reassembled afterward. One New York-based contractor claimed this feature alone saved him $100,000 on a job.
Customizable
Customers can choose to mount any excavator brand on top of the Big Float pontoons or undercarriage. Big Float E-Series undercarriages can be also equipped with wide range of additional equipment custom-designed for special situations, including side pontoons that allow Big Float to operate entirely in deep water.
Performs in tough environments.
REMU designed Big Float to provide rock-solid stability and reliability in even the most challenging set of circumstances. REMU uses today’s industry-standard chain structure which has proven over decades to provide the strongest way to move crawler track and also means that if needed, standard parts are available all over the world from multiple sources in hours or just minutes.
