INFORMATION SHEETS
With a 30-tonne carrying capacity and a sealed internal tank, this vessel is perfect whether you're transporting dredged material, concrete, or stone. It’s a trusted choice for projects ranging from bank protection and towpath resurfacing to vegetation clearance and dredging.
Sealed tanks securely contain liquids and wet spoil, reducing environmental risk. They’re suitable for the flexible deployment across dredging, civil, and maintenance works. The generous hold accommodates piles, gravel, and almost any other bulk material your project demands. This hopper delivers secure, stable performance in canal and river settings.
Measuring 45ft by 9ft 8in, this hopper is road transportable and double stackable on a lorry, minimising delivery costs and simplifying logistics, especially where multiple hoppers are needed for a larger job. When combined with a pusher tug, the pair let you transport materials almost anywhere in the inland waterway network. Plus, as it sits low in the water, there’s no risk to bridges or other structures.
Purpose-built for inland waterway works yet designed with modern transport and site constraints in mind, the Wide Beam Hopper is a practical, scalable solution for demanding canal and river projects.
