FAQ about mowing boats and workboats

What is a workboat for waterway maintenance?

A workboat is a specialised vessel or machine designed for professional operations on or around water. Depending on its design and equipment, a workboat can cut aquatic vegetation, collect biomass and floating debris, remove sediment, or carry out dredging and clearing work. The right type of workboat depends on the task, water body and site conditions.

A mowing boat is primarily used to cut aquatic vegetation and carry out flexible maintenance work with different attachments. An aquatic weed harvester cuts the vegetation and collects it directly on board using an integrated conveyor system.

An amphibious boat is particularly suitable for shallow water, mud, swampy areas and difficult-to-access transition zones between land and water. It can operate in areas that are often inaccessible to conventional workboats.

Dredge boats are used to remove silt and sediment and to carry out dredging operations in waterways. Depending on the equipment, they can be used for suction dredging, bucket dredging and other clearing tasks.

A mowing boat is suitable when aquatic vegetation primarily needs to be cut. If the cut vegetation must also be collected and removed directly, an aquatic weed harvester is usually the more suitable solution.

BERKY offers mowing boats, amphibious workboats, aquatic weed harvesters and dredge boats. The machines differ in their operating method, areas of application and available attachments.
