The first custom-designed and patented Ellicott® brand Wheel Dragon™ Bucketwheel dredge was introduced in 1976. Since then, the Wheel Dragon™ dredge has become popular in mining assignments around the world. The addition of a bucketwheel excavator to your dredge will increase cutting force and overall production. Whether to increase production in a sand mining operation or to mine the world’s hardest trona, the Wheel Dragon™ dredge is your solution. The Wheel Dragon™ excavator modification can be made available for select Ellicott Dragon® brand dredge models.

Ellicott®’s Coastal Dragon® dredge design is ideal for working in coastal environments. The Coastal Dragon® dredge has optional tilting spuds that allow the dredge to be launched under busy underpasses and continue operation while working in a waterway with many bridges. Increasing freeboard allows the Coastal Dragon® to work in seas with unpredictable or constant swells. The Coastal Dragon® dredge design can be added to our 1170 Series Dragon® dredge model and up.
As an alternative to diesel engines, Ellicott also offers electric dredges. These dredges are electrically powered from shore and are beneficial for long-term use projects.
Since there is no diesel engine, electric dredges cost less to maintain, and the lower operating costs usually offset the higher initial investment.
Electric drive is offered as an option on all size and type dredges produced by Ellicott.
