Gulf Atlantic Pump & Dredge, LLC continues to manufacturer and improve upon the H&H line of maintenance class dredges. The "MUDLOADER" line of dredges has a long history of service for lagoon, canal, and industrial dredging services. We look forward to discussing your specific project requirements in order to manufacturer the end product that will meet your needs.
Recent Modifications
Pontoons: Our pontoons currently manufactured are 36" x 36" x (appropriate length) using 10 gauge steel, in a box beam design with sealed compartments on each end. This change in design has resulted in a more stable working platform with a minimum of 12" of freeboard. Pontoons are coated using a Bar Rust 235 two part epoxy primer, with a DEVTHANE epoxy finish coat, followed by a Cold Tar epoxy coating applied to all submersed areas.
Cutterhead: GAPD currently manufacturers heavy weight cutterheads which are 24" in diameter with 1/4" flyting for mounting Ditch Witch cutting teeth. The cutterhead is powered by a POCLAIN direct drive hydraulic motor producing 16,000 in/lbs of torque along the cutting surface.
Controls: GAPD has implemented an electro/hydraulic joystick control system for operation, resulting in an easier platform for operation. This system is also backed up by a secondary manual valve bank located on the power unit skid, resulting in limited down time if joystick controls every fail.
Options Offered
Traverse Systems Offered: GAPD currently places our windlass winch traverse system on all dredges manufactured; however three and four winch traverse systems are available upon customer request.
Discharge Piping: GAPD currently offers a full line of 4", 6", 8", 10", and 12" discharge piping configurations using ring-lock coupling systems as well as a full line of floatation devices to meet your needs. Please contact us for more information concerning pricing and delivery on discharge piping systems, as well as floatation devices.
MUDLOADER 2406
- Overall Length 27’9” (8.46m)
- Overall Width 8’4” (2.54m)
- Hull Depth 3’0” (0.91m)
- Height 9’0” (2.74m)
- Mean draft with fuel 1’6” (0.46m)
- Fuel Capacity 95 gallons (359.6L)
- Dry Weight 13,000 lbs (9 tons)
Power Unit
6 cylinder water cooled diesel engine, outfitted with a residential grade silencer, rated for providing a minimum of 1125 continuous HP at 1800 RPM. Engines can be Cummins, John Deere, or Deutz. This is a customer preference.
Hydraulic System
Independent open-center circuits allow simultaneous pump, cutterhead, and traverse operation with variable speed controls. Hydraulic pump is a Commercial Intertech or equivalent with two stages, producing a hydraulic oil flow of 0-78 GPM. Each circuit is controlled via electro-hydraulic proportional valves. Each circuit has independent relief valves. System oil is cooled using a Thermal Transfer in-line oil cooler. All hoses and fittings are Parker Hannifin.
Operator Compartment
Heated and cooled control cab with 360° visibility, and adjustable operator’s chair with Electro-hydraulic joystick controls. Dredge systems readouts and alarms, operation gauges maintained in clear view.
