Available in either diesel or electric power, the DSC Shark Class cutter suction dredge features a conventional dredge-operating configuration with a modular design for ease of transportation.
With standard discharge sizes ranging from 10 inches to 36 inches (250 mm to 900 mm), it is ideal for sand and gravel producers and construction contractors. Its rugged design offers the full features of larger dredges in an exceptionally portable design.
The proven reliability of the Shark Class cutter suction dredge design typically results in a higher percentage of operational time as well as often exceeds the typical lifespan of other dredges within the same class.
