Watermaster North America

Model AMD 5000 -Amphibious Multipurpose Dredger

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.

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.
