Compact Amphibious boat for Land and Water

BERKY ARGONAUT 200

Amphibious mowing and work boat for demanding waterway maintenance

Shallow water, soft banks and dense vegetation make it difficult to use conventional workboats or land-based machinery. The BERKY ARGONAUT 200 was developed specifically for these conditions. This compact amphibious boat travels across water, mud and suitable ground, enabling professional waterway maintenance wherever conventional machinery reaches its limits.

Its compact, highly manoeuvrable design and front attachment carrier make the ARGONAUT 200 suitable for a wide range of applications. Depending on the selected attachments, it can cut aquatic weeds and reeds, collect cut vegetation and floating debris, and carry out a variety of clearance and maintenance tasks using a single carrier machine.

The BERKY ARGONAUT 200 is particularly suitable for smaller, shallow and hard-to-reach waterways and bank areas:

  • Ditches and canals
    Control aquatic vegetation and remove cut material and floating debris from narrow waterways.

  • Ponds and smaller lakes
    Carry out mowing, collecting and clearance work efficiently in confined water areas.

  • Retention basins and stormwater ponds
    Keep overgrown areas clear and help maintain reliable water flow.

  • Shallow-water and silted-up areas
    Reach areas that are inaccessible to conventional work boats.

  • Reed beds, banks and shorelines
    Cut and manage vegetation in the transition zones between land and water.

  • Marshy and soft ground
    Work on sensitive or unstable terrain that is unsuitable for conventional land-based machinery.

Waterway bed maintenance

Key Features

Low Ground Pressure on Soft Terrain

The ARGONAUT 200 distributes its weight across a large surface area, allowing it to operate on soft, marshy and sensitive ground. This helps minimise the impact on vulnerable terrain during waterway and wetland maintenance.

Precise Manoeuvring in Confined Areas

Its compact dimensions allow the ARGONAUT 200 to navigate narrow ditches, small waterways and densely overgrown areas with precision. This enables operators to reach locations that are unsuitable for larger workboats.

Powerful hydraulics for professional operations

The hydraulic system is designed to operate a range of specialised attachments. This allows the ARGONAUT 200 to carry out aquatic weed cutting, reed management, collection and maintenance work reliably.

Easy Transport and Rapid Deployment

Its compact design makes it easier to transport the machine between different work sites. The ARGONAUT 200 can be moved to the next waterway without complex logistics and deployed quickly on site.

The equipment

Every waterway presents different challenges. The BERKY ARGONAUT 200 can therefore
be equipped with suitable tools using its front attachment carrier.

FAQ about the BERKY ARGONAUT 200

Who is the BERKY ARGONAUT 200 designed for?

The ARGONAUT 200 is designed for municipalities and local authorities, water management organisations, drainage boards, public works departments and specialist waterway or landscape maintenance contractors. It is particularly suitable for operators who regularly maintain smaller, shallow or difficult-to-access waterways and wetland areas.

The ARGONAUT 200 is more compact and is designed primarily for narrow waterways, ditches and projects involving frequent changes of location. The larger ARGONAUT 240 features a swivelling working arm and is suitable for more extensive operations requiring greater reach and working depth.

Typical applications include ditches, canals, ponds, retention basins, stormwater ponds, shallow-water areas, reed beds, banks and wetlands. Its amphibious design allows the machine to operate on water, mud and suitable land surfaces.

Yes. Depending on the selected attachments, the ARGONAUT 200 can cut aquatic vegetation and reeds as well as collect cut material and floating debris. BERKY configures the machine according to the type of vegetation, the waterbody and the specific maintenance task.

Interchangeable attachments allow operators to carry out different mowing, collecting and maintenance tasks with a single carrier machine. Its compact design also facilitates transport between sites and can reduce the need for complex crane and transport logistics, depending on the application.

The right equipment depends on the vegetation, the type of waterbody and the planned work. BERKY will advise you on the most suitable attachments and provide a machine configuration tailored to your operating requirements.
