Floating system for excavators

Inflatable flotation system for excavator rescue – provided by FabriQ

Working with excavators in tidal zones and along the coast involves high risk. If the ground fails, the machine can sink before it can be salvaged – and quickly become flooded with seawater. Damage to equipment can be extensive, and in the worst case, total loss.

The solution: Floating system for emergencies

In collaboration with Buitink Technology, FabriQ Innovation AS offers a specially developed inflatable flotation system that makes it possible to stabilize and salvage heavy construction machinery - before it sinks or floods.

The system is designed for emergency situations and can be quickly assembled on site.

Example: Rescue of a 90-ton excavator

A concrete example shows the recovery of a raised excavator with a total weight of 90 tons . Using the inflatable flotation system, the machine was kept afloat and prevented from sinking further until it could be safely recovered. The result was minimal damage and a rapid return to operation.

• Fast response and easy installation in the field

• Maintains buoyancy until the machine can be retrieved

• Minimal damage to equipment and environment

• Low weight and high puncture resistance

• Compact when stored – suitable for emergency storage and mobile units
