Product Description
Inland waterway restoration often involves transporting heavier materials to and from the site. Moving this material, such as coping stones, gravel, or soil, presents several issues, especially if part of the journey is on water via a floating craft. We offer two highly specialised tools for these operations: a compact tracked dumper and a secure, operator-friendly coping stone lifter.
KEY FEATURES
Tracked dumper: compact, low-impact, canal-ready
Coping lifter: hydraulic, secure grip, operator-friendly
Marine-safe with bio-oil
LOLER-certified with drop control valves
Designed for canal and towpath use
INFORMATION SHEETS
Our tracked dumper is designed for manoeuvrability in confined environments, especially towpaths and restricted canal access areas. With low ground pressure and compact dimensions, it’s ideal for transporting materials along sensitive waterways, even under low bridges or across uneven terrain.
Our coping stone lifter makes replacing, adjusting, or resetting coping stones faster, safer, and more accurate. The hydraulic system provides a firm grip without damaging the stone, while the lightweight build allows easy positioning from both land and floating platforms.
Both machines are designed to function on land and over water. They’re marine-safe, powered by biodegradable oil, and fully LOLER-certified. They’re fitted with drop control valves for safe and compliant lifting operations. This allows you to transport material to a site safely and securely.
Whether you’re resurfacing a towpath, installing bank protection, or restoring historic canal infrastructure, we guarantee this low-impact canal equipment is suitable for almost all projects with minimal site disruption.
