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.
What is the difference between a mowing boat and an aquatic weed harvester?
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.
When is an amphibious boat the right choice?
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.
When is a dredge boat used?
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.
Which boat is best for aquatic weed removal?
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.
What types of workboats does BERKY offer?
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.
