Floating Excavators for Fort Lauderdale Canal and Waterway Projects
Amphibious floating excavators that restore navigable depth, dredge silted canals, and mend banks across Broward County, without a barge clogging the channel you came to clear.
A Floating Excavator That Keeps Fort Lauderdale's Canals Navigable
In the Venice of America, a canal is a road. When silt builds up and the draft drops, the boats and yachts behind those seawalls stop being able to reach the New River, the Intracoastal, and open water.
The catch is that a barge-mounted excavator brought in to fix it becomes the blockage, filling the same narrow channel it is supposed to reopen and leaving no room for the vessels that still need to pass.
A Truxor sidesteps that. It is a single compact amphibious machine that works from one edge of the canal, dredges the bottom back to depth, and keeps the waterway open while it does.
A Floating Excavator Built for Broward County's Canal Grid
One amphibious platform for canal dredging, depth restoration, and shoreline grading across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, FL.
Put a Floating Excavator to Work Across Broward County
The right floating excavator comes down to how much draft a canal has lost, how tight the run is between docks, and how much material has to move to bring it back.
We spec the Truxor to the site, from restoring depth in a silted residential canal off the New River, to clearing a tidal reach near Port Everglades, to grading a bank on a stormwater lake in a Plantation or Davie community.
Whether you hold canal maintenance work across Broward or you are adding dredging to your lineup, we match the machine and attachments to the water.
Why Broward County Contractors Choose Amphibious Floating Excavators
Fort Lauderdale canals are working navigation lined with docks and moored boats, so the machine has to restore depth without shutting the waterway down.
Dredge Without Closing the Canal
Work one edge of a navigable Fort Lauderdale canal and bring the bottom back to depth while boats still move through, instead of a barge blocking the whole channel.
Fit Between the Docks
Enter off a seawall or ramp and thread the tight residential runs of the Venice of America, where a pontoon rig is too wide to launch and too long to turn.
Handle the Whole Waterway
Restore canal depth, grade a slumped bank, or clear vegetation and debris with one amphibious machine and a change of attachment.
Support Matched to a Major Purchase
A floating excavator is a real capital commitment, and it pays back only with a crew that runs it well and a supplier who gets parts moving fast.
We train Broward County operators on their own canals and back them through canal depth restoration, shoreline grading, sediment removal, and tidal work reviewed by the Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department.
Every Truxor purchase brings:
- Hands-on operator training
- Technical help you can reach while the job runs
- Factory parts and service
- Attachment guidance for tidal and salt conditions
- A live demo before you buy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Across Broward County it restores navigable depth in silted canals, dredges sediment, grades shorelines and banks, and clears debris in shallow tidal water that a standard excavator cannot work and a barge cannot fit.
That is one of its strengths. Because it is a single compact machine working from one side rather than a barge spanning the channel, it can bring a Fort Lauderdale canal back to depth while vessels keep moving through.
A pontoon rig is a dry-land excavator riding a separate barge that must be trucked and craned into the water, and it occupies the channel while it works. A Truxor is one amphibious unit that reaches the water on its own and works from the edge.
Yes. It runs Broward’s tidal and brackish canals daily, and every South Florida sale includes the rinse-down and corrosion routine that salt water demands.
Usually. Canal dredging and in-water work are commonly reviewed by the Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department, with the City of Fort Lauderdale, FDEP, or the Army Corps possible by scope. Confirm with the agencies first, since we sell equipment, not permits.
