The Growler 3000 is one of the most robust dredge pumps on the market, offering the versatility of both a cable-deployed dredge pump and an excavator mounted dredge pump. The heavy-duty cutters enable the pump to break up very compact material, ensuring the continuous feeding of the suction pump. The agitator and optional cutter knife inside the pump chop all types of organic material like seaweed, grass, and other aquatic weeds to ensure maximum suction power.
