Large Custom Dredges
These massive vessels are engineered-to-order for the world’s most demanding projects, offering digging depths and production rates that standard portable dredges cannot match. From deep mineral deposit mining to major land reclamation, every aspect of the design is tailored to meet specific operational requirements.
Wheel Dragon™ Dredges
Designed specifically for the mining industry, these dredges feature a dual-wheel excavator that cuts through hard-packed material and recovers heavy minerals with superior efficiency. The positive-feed system ensures a consistent slurry concentration, significantly increasing production yields compared to traditional cutterheads.
Coastal Dragon® Dredges
Built for the challenges of open environments, these dredges feature enhanced hull stability and tilting spuds that allow them to operate safely in swells and semi-exposed waters. They bridge the gap between portable inland dredges and ocean-going vessels, making them ideal for coastal restoration and inlet maintenance.
Electric Dredges
These sustainable vessels replace diesel power with high-efficiency electric motors, offering zero-emission operation for environmentally sensitive zones and urban projects. They provide immediate torque and lower operating costs, making them a powerful solution for long-term mining and industrial applications.
