Truxor Benefits & Applications

A recent EU directive on plant protection products has limited the use of herbicides on or near water. The Truxor offers a mechanical alternative.

The Truxor’s method of cutting and removal is gentle and causes minimal disturbance to wildlife. It makes the cutting and harvesting of aquatic plants a simple, efficient operation.

A range of cutting tools can be fitted, designed to work in different aquatic environments and under a variety of conditions.
It can be used to manage constructed wetlands and improve the condition of reedbeds for birds such as the bittern.

The stability of the platform assures the safety of the operator and using the excavator arm, or pump dredger a variety of dredging operations can be carried out, making it an excellent lake desilting machine.

The Truxor can get in and out of tight spaces, so it’s ideal for virtually any aquatic environment, including sites with limited access.
