Amphibious equipment that clears overgrowth and lifts debris from Fort Lauderdale’s navigable canals, and keeps the water open for the boats that use it.
In Fort Lauderdale, a canal is a driveway. The homes along it were built for water access, and when vegetation and floating debris close the channel down, the boats behind those seawalls have nowhere to go. What looks like a maintenance problem is really a lost reason to live there.
Clearing it comes with a catch most equipment cannot solve. Drop a barge-mounted rig into one of these tight residential canals and the rig becomes the blockage, filling the exact channel it came to reopen and leaving no room for a boat to pass while it works.
A Truxor works from one edge of the channel and moves under its own power, so it clears the growth and debris while the waterway stays usable. The canal reopens, and the boats keep moving.
Reopen Fort Lauderdale canals to flow and navigation with one machine that works from the edge, not the middle.
A canal near the New River behaves nothing like a dead-end finger canal off the Intracoastal. One deals with tide and current, another traps everything that floats into it, and the depth, the salinity, and the room to launch change from block to block across Broward.
Which machine and attachments make sense depends on those specifics, and on whether you are keeping a canal navigable, clearing it after a storm, or holding back growth on a maintenance schedule.
Give us the canals on your route and what they throw at you, and we will build the setup that clears them without shutting them down.
Fort Lauderdale canals stay in use while you clear them, so the machine has to be small enough to fit, mobile enough to work the edge, and versatile enough to do it all.
Works one side of a navigable canal so boats keep passing, instead of a barge parked across the only lane.
Launches off a bank or ramp and slips between moored boats and tight seawalls where a crane has nowhere to sit.
Cut vegetation, lift floating debris, or work the bank, switching attachments instead of hauling in another machine.
A machine that lives in salt water and works canals week after week needs a supplier who does more than sell it and wave goodbye. We stand behind Fort Lauderdale contractors, municipal crews, and marine maintenance teams for the life of the equipment.
Every purchase includes:
Watch the machine clear a navigable Broward canal without closing it to boat traffic, and size up the reach and the tight-quarters handling for yourself.

That is the main reason crews here choose this machine. Because it works from one edge under its own power rather than spanning the channel like a barge, it can reopen a navigable canal while boats keep moving through it.
Yes. It launches off a seawall, bank, or ramp and runs the channel itself, which is what the tight residential canals of the Venice of America demand, where docks and moored boats leave no room to stage a crane or barge.
Overgrown and floating vegetation, and the debris that collects with it. It cuts, collects, and lifts the material out, reopening flow and the navigable depth boats need.
Yes. Broward’s canals run tidal and brackish, and the machine is built for it. Salt does call for steady rinse-downs and corrosion care, which we cover with every buyer.
