1 AQUARIUS-Amphimaster 5000 The amphibious and versatile tool carrier for an effective and environment-friendly water management program The Aquarius-Amphimaster 5000 is a unique amphibious vehicle used in swampy areas where access for conventional machines is difficult or impossible. The track design allows the machine to float and manoeuvre both on land and in the water. The tracks have a very low ground pressure allowing it to cross a "fairway" on a golf course or be driven in sensitive areas without causing damage. It is designed with a joystick control system that is easily operated by the operator. The machine can turn on a dime. The machine is equipped with a lifting arm on which various accessories can be easily mounted. An adjustable weight distribution system is installed providing ballast and a level operating platform for the various attachments. The tracks consist of a number of paddles and can be driven simultaneously forward and reverse, allowing the vehicle to turn on its own axis in the water. On contact with the bottom in shallow water or on land, the paddle provide excellent traction. Speeds: 0-5 km/h in the water 0-6 km/h on land
