Floating Excavators for Miami Wetland, Canal, and Waterway Projects
Amphibious floating excavators built to dig, dredge, and grade across Miami-Dade’s canals, mangrove edges, and shallow tidal water, without a barge under them.
A Floating Excavator That Skips the Barge
Most floating excavators are really a standard machine bolted onto a pontoon raft, which means a crane to launch, a truck to haul the raft, and a slow setup before a single bucket of muck moves.
Truxor takes a different route. The whole machine is amphibious, so it drives off the bank, floats out, and digs, all on one platform.
For Miami-Dade crews working canals hemmed in by seawalls and mangrove, that means reaching a dig site that a barge-mounted rig would never get near.

Add a Floating Excavator to Your Miami Fleet
Picking the right floating excavator comes down to the water you work, the room you have to launch, and the digging the job demands.
Our team spec’s the Truxor around your conditions, whether that is dredging silt from a residential canal in Coral Gables, grading an eroded bank on a Kendall retention lake, or pulling muck near a mangrove line under a DERM permit.
Adding this capability to your lineup, or retiring a barge rig that costs too much to move, we point you to the machine and attachments that fit.
Why Miami-Dade Contractors Are Choosing Amphibious Floating Excavators
A barge-based rig is slow to move and hard to launch in Miami’s tight, tidal canals. An amphibious machine works on its own, with no raft under it.
No Pontoon, No Crane
Drive straight off a Miami-Dade bank or ramp and float to the dig, with no barge to haul, no crane to hire, and no lay-down yard to find.
Dig Where Barges Run
Work shallow tidal reaches, narrow finger canals, and soft mangrove-edge bottoms that a pontoon-mounted excavator is too big and too deep to enter.
One Machine, Every Water Task
Excavate, dredge, grade a bank, or lift vegetation from the same amphibious unit, so one purchase covers the range of a Miami canal job.
Support Built Around the Machine
A floating excavator is a serious line item, and it earns its keep only if your crew runs it well and the parts show up fast.
We train Miami-Dade operators on their own water and back them through the life of the machine, on canal dredging, shoreline grading, sediment removal, and mangrove-adjacent work that runs through Miami-Dade DERM review.
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)
In Miami-Dade it handles canal dredging, sediment and muck removal, shoreline grading, and vegetation work in shallow, tidal water where a standard excavator would sink or a barge cannot reach.
A pontoon setup is a conventional excavator riding on a separate raft that has to be hauled and launched. A Truxor is a single amphibious machine that drives to the water and floats on its own, with no barge in the picture.
Yes. It works the county’s tidal and brackish canals, and every South Florida sale includes the rinse-down and corrosion routine that keeps a machine sound in salt.
Usually. Most in-water and coastal digging is reviewed by Miami-Dade DERM, and SFWMD, FDEP, or the Army Corps may also apply. Confirm with the agencies first, since we sell the equipment, not the permits.
Marine contractors, dredging and canal maintenance firms, HOAs and community districts, and municipal public works crews that need to dig or dredge in water without mobilizing a barge.
