HES is able to handle any sized dredging equipment shipment and can provide hauling services for your dredge. So what exactly is dredging? Dredging refers to the excavation process used to remove the percolated underwater deposits in order to clean the pathways making it easier for ships to pass. It is also used to create space so bridges, dykes and damns can be built. Dredges also help to weed out the silt and other pollutants from the bottoms of water bodies.

Shipping a dredge

It’s important to gather the dimensions for your dredging equipment like the size and weight as this is what will help us to determine the best type of trailers and equipment we will need in order to successfully load, secure and transport your dredge. As most dredges have been manufactured to float and operate in shallow water it will likely require dismantling of the dredging equipment prior to being able to ship. Another option however is if the drudge is able to be floated to a traversable waterway making transport over the water possible.

While your dredge can potentially travel distances under its own power, this is not often advisable as this equipment has been intended for navigating smooth and shallow waters. It’s also worth mentioning that dredges are incredibly slow when you are trying to move the dredging equipment long distances.

Another option for dredge shipping involves using a boat submersion transport. This is the process in which a boat is carefully guided onto a transport ship that is submerged just below the water. Once the dredge is secure and in place, the transport ship then releases it water and rises up to the surface with your dredging equipment now secured on its deck.

There may be other transport options available for your dredge particularly if you are planning on scrapping your dredge for parts or need to make repairs on the equipment. In this instance, transport by road is probably your most efficient and affordable option.

How to Ship Dredging Equipment?

Heavy Equipment Shipper are the industry experts when it comes to transporting your dredging equipment by both land and sea. Depending on where your pickup and drop off locations are, the hauling of dredging equipment may be easier using either a barge or some form of flat bed trailer or even a combination of both methods. It’s also important to ensure that any floating pipes are properly secured in the event the equipment shifts during its transport.

Due to the massive size of the dredging machinery it will almost certainly be shipped as an oversize load. Some of your equipment may be able to fit on a standard sized trailer but HES can also coordinate and secure an escort vehicle for the transport if needed. Our skilled logistics team will help to determine what requirements need to be met in order to successfully ship your dredging equipment and machinery.
