Floating Excavators for Naples Lake, Canal, and Bay Projects
Amphibious floating excavators that restore community lakes, dredge silted canals, and reshape shorelines across Collier County, reaching the water without a barge or a lay-down yard.
A Floating Excavator for Naples' Thousands of Community Lakes
Naples is built around water features. Behind the gates of its golf and master-planned communities sit thousands of stormwater lakes, and year after year they fill with organic sediment that steals depth, chokes flood storage, and sours the water quality residents pay to protect.
Restoring one of those lakes with a barge rig means craning a machine over a manicured berm and hoping the pontoon fits between the docks. Most of the time it does not.
A Truxor drives in over the bank, floats out, and pulls the sediment from the surface, restoring depth without tearing up the community around it.

Add a Floating Excavator to Your Collier County Operation
The right floating excavator depends on how much sediment a lake has lost to depth, how you reach the water past the landscaping, and what the community will tolerate for access.
We size the Truxor to the job, from dredging organic muck out of an HOA lake to restore storage, to cutting a littoral shelf along a Naples Bay shoreline, to desilting a Gordon River tributary canal.
Whether you run lake maintenance contracts across Collier communities or you are adding dredging to your service list, we match the machine and attachments to the water.
Why Collier County Contractors Choose Amphibious Floating Excavators
Naples lakes sit hemmed in by docks, seawalls, cart paths, and landscaping, so the machine has to reach the water quietly and leave the community intact.
Restore Lake Depth Without the Mess
Pull organic sediment from a gated-community lake and rebuild its storage from the water, with no crane over the berm and no torn-up common areas.
Slip Past the Docks and Landscaping
Enter a Naples lake or canal off a bank or ramp between the docks, where a pontoon barge is too wide to launch and too big to maneuver.
One Machine for Lake, Canal, and Bay
redge a lake, desilt a canal, or cut a littoral shelf on Naples Bay with a single amphibious unit and the right attachment for each.
Support That Protects the Investment
A floating excavator is a serious buy, and it earns out only with a crew trained to run it and a supplier who keeps the downtime short.
We train Collier County operators on the lakes and canals they work, and back them across lake restoration, canal dredging, shoreline grading, and the littoral and estuary jobs reviewed by the City of Naples and Collier County.
Every Truxor purchase includes:
- 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 Collier County it restores community and stormwater lakes by removing organic sediment, dredges canals, cuts littoral shelves, and grades shorelines in shallow water where a standard excavator cannot go.
Yes. It reaches the lake over a bank, floats on the surface, and pulls the sediment that has cost the lake its depth and storage, all without craning a barge over the community’s landscaping.
A pontoon rig is a dry-land excavator on a separate barge that has to be trucked and craned into the water. A Truxor is one amphibious machine that reaches the water on its own, with no barge to stage.
Yes. It runs the county’s tidal and brackish water, and every Southwest Florida sale includes the rinse-down and corrosion care that salt requires.
Often. Dredging in the City of Naples generally requires a marine permit, natural waterbodies can require a council petition first, and Collier County, SFWMD Big Cypress Basin, FDEP, or the Army Corps may apply by scope. Confirm with the agencies before you start, since we supply equipment, not permits.
