An amphibious dredger is a specialized machine designed to operate in both shallow water and soft, marshy terrain. Combining mobility, precision, and versatility, it is ideal for environmental management, mining, port maintenance, and river restoration projects. ITECH Co., Ltd. provides high-quality amphibious dredgers engineered for durability, productivity, and safe operation.
Unlike traditional dredgers, an amphibious dredger can move seamlessly across water surfaces and soft ground, thanks to its combination of floating pontoons or amphibious tracks. Equipped with a bucket or cutter system, it efficiently excavates sediments, soil, and light rocks while minimizing environmental impact.
Amphibious Mobility System: Tracks or pontoons provide stability and allow access to areas unreachable by conventional dredges.
Hydraulic Excavation Unit: Ensures smooth and efficient digging of soft sediments, clay, and sand.
Optional Pumping System: Transfers dredged material for reclamation or waterway maintenance.
Advanced Control Interface: Modern dredgers offer automated or semi-automated operation for precision and safety.
Versatile Terrain Capability: Operates effectively in wetlands, rivers, lakes, and floodplains.
High Efficiency: Excavation rates can reach 120–250 m³ per hour, depending on the dredger size.
Environmental Protection: Controlled excavation reduces sediment dispersion, protecting local ecosystems.
Reduced Project Costs: Combines dredging, land reclamation, and sediment management into one machine.
Enhanced Accessibility: Ideal for sites with limited waterway access or soft ground where conventional equipment cannot operate.
An ITECH amphibious dredger may include:
Bucket Size: 1.5–3 m³
Maximum Dredging Depth: 12–15 meters
Excavation Rate: 120–250 m³/h
Track Length / Pontoon Size: 5–10 meters
Engine Type: Diesel or hydraulic drive
Optional Slurry Pump: For sediment relocation and water management
These specifications can be customized based on project requirements.
Q: What projects are suitable for an amphibious dredger?
A: Ideal for wetland restoration, river and lake maintenance, flood control, port dredging, and shallow water mining.
Q: Can an amphibious dredger work in environmentally sensitive areas?
A: Yes. Its controlled excavation minimizes sediment spread, reducing ecological disturbance.
Q: How does it differ from an amphibious multipurpose dredge?
A: While multipurpose dredges may include additional functions like pumping or material processing, an amphibious dredger is specifically designed for efficient excavation and sediment removal in challenging terrains.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Routine inspection every 250–500 hours and major maintenance every 3–5 years ensures longevity and consistent performance.
Amphibious dredgers are widely applied in:
Environmental Management: Wetland restoration and sediment control.
Flood Prevention: Clearing waterways and reducing flood risks.
Mining Operations: Extracting sand, clay, and minerals from shallow water areas.
Port and Waterway Maintenance: Maintaining navigable channels and preventing sediment accumulation.
