Amphibious multipurpose dredger
One versatile machine for all shallow water work
One versatile machine for all shallow water applications
Watermaster amphibious multipurpose machine excels alone in the tasks that are conventionally handled with multiple separate machines.
With its versatile selection of quickly changeable attachments, the Watermaster can do all shallow water work from dry ground up to the depth of 20 feet.
Watermaster offers superior mobility
Transport, launch, and operate the dredger with ease with a hydraulically pivoting propeller at a cruising speed of 4 knots.
.
01 Transport
Transport the dredger on a standard trailer.
Watermaster is transported as a complete unit, so there are no set-up times when arriving at the site.
02 Launch
Launch the dredger without set-up times, cranes and tugboats.
Watermaster is amphibious and can walk independently in and out of water without crane assistance.
03 Travel to worksite
Operate the dredger without winches, wire cables and assisting vessels.
Watermaster has its own propulsion system so it can get to the site independently without the help of tugboats.
04 Operate
Watermaster has four stabilizers enabling steady and accurate anchoring and operation.
