Zondar Hydraulic Multi-Function Drainage Robot: The All-Terrain Flood-Control Guardian for Modern Cities

Extreme rainfall events are becoming the new normal. As climate risks escalate, more cities are experiencing rapid, unpredictable flooding that overwhelms traditional drainage systems. Underground garages, metro stations, tunnels, and industrial facilities are now among the most vulnerable zones—often requiring rapid, high-flow, and unmanned drainage solutions.

To meet this urgent need, Changsha Zondar Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has developed new generation of Hydraulic Multi-Function Drainage Robots (HMDR)—a family of intelligent, hydraulic-powered, all-terrain drainage systems engineered to perform in the harshest real-world flood scenarios.

Powered by high-output hydraulic systems, advanced mobility platforms, and long-distance intelligent control, the flood drainage robot lineup delivers unmatched efficiency, safety, and versatility. The series includes three specialized robots:

ZDPLC-1200 – Heavy-duty, high-flow self-propelled flagship

ZDPSC-800 – Compact amphibious drainage robot for restricted spaces

ZDPSC-300 – High-head obstacle-crossing specialist for long-distance and uphill pumping

Together, these machines form a complete, multi-scenario emergency drainage ecosystem for modern cities.

1. ZDPLC-1200: The High-Flow, High-Efficiency Flagship for Major Urban Flood Emergencies

Purpose-built for large-scale municipal flood control, the Zondar ZDPLC-1200 delivers formidable hydraulic performance combined with intelligent precision.

Key Technical Advantages

① Supercharged Hydraulic Power System

Diesel engine: <50 kW

Twin 8-inch hydraulic submersible pumps

Maximum discharge: 1200 m³/h

Maximum head:15 m

Solid-handling capability: ≥25 mm

This allows the 1200 to rapidly remove water from metro tunnels, deep underground garages, and industrial facilities—often completing tasks hours faster than comparable electric or mechanical pumps.

② All-Terrain Crawler Mobility

Wading depth: 700 mm

Climbing angle:30°

Obstacle clearance: ≥250 mm 

The 1200 moves confidently through collapsed passages, debris-filled environments, and uneven flooded roads where wheeled equipment cannot operate.

③ Intelligent, Zero-Contact Remote Control

Wireless range: ≥300 m

Real-time feedback & smart throttle adjustment

One-button pump start

Five-layer safety protection

Operators can deploy the robot entirely remotely, eliminating human exposure to electrical, chemical, or structural hazards.

Typical Application Scenarios

Citywide stormwater emergencies

Metro tunnels & municipal drainage systems

Underground parking facilities

Power-supply wells and industrial flooding

Real-time visual surveillance

All-round security alarm system

Key Parameters — ZDPLC-1200

2. Amphibious hydraulic drainage robot ZDPSC-800: Amphibious, Compact, and Highly Maneuverable for Narrow Spaces & Shallow Water

The Zondar amphibious hydraulic drainage robot ZDPSC-800 is designed for urban micro-environments where mobility, space constraints, and shallow-water operation are critical.

Key Technical Advantages

① True Amphibious Operation

Operates on land or afloat in shallow waters

Highly agile in narrow passages

Ideal for low-clearance areas in residential and commercial zones

This makes the ZDPSC-800 particularly effective in community flood relief and basement operations.

② High-Efficiency Hydraulic Pumping Performance

8-inch hydraulic pump

Flow rate:800 m³/h

Maximum head: ≥15 m

Solid handling: ≥25mm

Despite its compact size, it delivers professional-grade drainage performance.

③ Rapid Deployment, Lightweight Design

Suitable for 2.2–2.5 m restricted spaces

Quick transport and one-person setup

Supports long-distance wireless control

Perfect for rapid-response teams and utility crews needing flexible, single-operator equipment.

Typical Application Scenarios

Underground garages and basements

Community or commercial district flooding

Culvert maintenance and shallow waterways

Industrial emergency drainage

Real-time visual surveillance

All-round security alarm system

3. ZDPSC-300: High-Head, Obstacle-Crossing Specialist for Long-Distance Pumping

Designed for rugged, obstructed, and elevated environments, the Zondar ZDPSC-300 excels where traditional pumps fail.

Key Technical Advantages

① Long-Distance, High-Head Pumping

Maximum head: 40 m

Discharge: 300 m³/h

Ideal for subway station drainage, hillside drainage, high-rise basement flooding, and long-pressure pipeline transfer.

② Strong Obstacle-Crossing & Climbing Ability: Climb stairs!

Obstacle clearance: ≥250 mm

Climbing slope: ≥30°

Compact design: suitable for <2.5 m height restricted passages

Perfect for subway station, mountainous cities, industrial corridors, and collapsed tunnels.

③ Ultra-Portable and Fast to Deploy
