The pump is one of our own 8″ submersible hydraulic units designed to work efficiently in a wide variety of materials including sand and cobble. The cutterhead shroud includes porting for water-jetting. Our cutterheads are manufactured with readily serviceable wear parts. Those circuits include the cutterhead, pump, windlass, and winches. The power plant turns hydraulic pumps to deliver horsepower to all of the hydraulic circuits as needed. We have chosen a JCB engine to power the Dino8, for performance, reliability, and global support. It all starts with a set of compartmentalized stainless steel floats, that we manufacture in house and pressure check prior to utilizing. The 6″ submersible pump installed on this machine is manufactured in-house and is able to pass softball-sized debris without damage or clogging.The Dino8 dredge is a sediment removal system designed with the small footprint we are known for, and the incredible pumping capacity we always deliver. It excavates sediment with a durable, high-torque, direct-drive cutter head and pumps at rates up to 1500gpm through the highly abrasion-resistant, hydraulic submersible dredge pump. The system is simple and easy to operate. With an efficient engine that consumes just 3 GPH of fuel during pumping operations, and a 30 gallon fuel tank, this dredge is good for hours upon hours of work. Our lightweight and portable dredge is powered by a 4 cylinder Cummins diesel engine that’s rated at 65 horsepower. It relies on 2 stainless steel pontoons that are compartmentalized into 3 independent sections and offer a 2 to 1 displacement factor for flotation. The Dino-6 is similar to a small pontoon boat.

There is no damage to the shoreline or tracks to be repaired. The launching and loading are more like a boat than a conventional dredge or excavator.


Mobilization costs are a fraction of a typical six inch dredge. With a wet weight around 4,000 pounds, it is a very lightweight portable dredge, with a low cost of mobilization, and a small environmental footprint. The Dino-6 measures just over 22′long and 6' wide and is less than 6′tall. The Dino-6 sediment removal system is comprised of a small dredge manufactured domestically in the US.
