Product Description
Managing aquatic vegetation is a constant challenge in waterways, wetlands, and canal-side maintenance. The Truxor Boat is a lightweight, amphibious machine designed for fast, effective reed cutting, weed harvesting, and aquatic vegetation removal across inland waterways, reedbeds, and conservation zones. Whether operating in shallow margins, boggy terrain, or deep channels, the Truxor provides accurate, low-impact control of aquatic plant growth.

INFORMATION SHEETS
Its fully amphibious design enables seamless movement between land and water. It’s ideal for remote access sites, soft ground conditions, or locations with fluctuating water levels. Fitted with specialised attachments for reed cutting, algae clearance, and invasive weed removal, the vessel collects vegetation efficiently, depositing it directly onto the bank or into transport hoppers for removal and disposal.
With exceptionally low ground pressure, the Truxor reduces soil compaction and disturbance, helping to preserve bankside habitats, protected species, and surrounding aquatic ecosystems. It’s particularly well suited to Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), nature reserves, and residential waterways where environmental sensitivity is key.
Whether you're maintaining drainage ditches, restoring wetland habitats, or clearing overgrown canals, this amphibious weed-cutting boat offers a flexible, low-disruption alternative to heavy plant machinery. For contractors, councils, and conservation groups, it’s the go-to choice for efficient aquatic vegetation management with minimal site impact.
