Key features

Features

  • Dual-Mode Capability: The only dredge in its class that can switch between "swinging ladder" mode for narrow areas and "conventional" mode for wide, high-efficiency cuts in open water.
  • Operational Flexibility: Eliminates the need for multiple machines by adapting instantly to changing job site conditions, from tight canal maintenance to large-scale lake restoration.
  • Cable-Free Narrow Dredging: In swinging ladder mode, the hull remains stationary, allowing operation in restricted waterways without anchors or cables that would otherwise block traffic.
  • High-Output Performance: Features a powerful 14-inch (350 mm) pump and engine package , delivering production rates significantly higher than standard swinging ladder models.
  • Precision Positioning: Combines the accuracy required for dredging around infrastructure with the cutting force needed to excavate compacted soil and vegetation.

We moderate reviews before they're published, but we don't fact-check them

Reviews are written by equipment owners and operators. Our team looks over each review before it goes live, and anyone can report a review they think breaks the rules.

We don't verify the claims made in reviews, so each one reflects the reviewer's own experience. Some reviews may have been collected from other public sources. Brands can reply to reviews but can't edit or remove them.
