Amphibious machines that clear overgrowth and debris from the Tampa Bay area’s flood-control canals and stormwater channels, keeping water moving out ahead of the next storm.
Few metros depend on their canals the way Tampa Bay does. This is flat, low-lying ground where water drains slowly, and the region’s whole flood-control system was built around moving it out, from the Tampa Bypass Canal that diverts the Hillsborough River away from downtown to the stormwater channels threading every neighborhood. A canal choked with vegetation cannot do that job, and after the 2024 storms, nobody here needs reminding what a stalled channel costs.
Clearing them is work standard equipment struggles with. These are shallow, soft-banked channels, and the residential canals of Apollo Beach and south Hillsborough are tight and hard to reach from land.
Truxor clears the channel from the water, cutting and lifting growth and debris so a Tampa canal drains the way it was built to, before the next storm tests it.
Keep flood-control and stormwater canals clear of the growth and debris that stall drainage when a storm hits.
A gulf-access residential canal in Apollo Beach behaves nothing like an inland stormwater channel feeding a bypass system. One traps floating growth and storm debris, another silts in and slows, and access, depth, and salinity change across Hillsborough County.
We help you match the right machine and attachments to the canals you maintain and the drainage they protect.
Whether you keep residential canals clear or maintain flood-control channels for a district or municipality, we help you clear more with less labor and equipment.
Canal clearing in Tampa is about reaching soft-banked water, keeping flood-control capacity open, and doing it before storm season.
Work shallow residential and stormwater channels in Apollo Beach, south Hillsborough, and beyond where land equipment cannot get to the water.
Clear the growth and debris that narrow a channel and stall it exactly when a storm needs it to move water fast.
Reopen canals packed with what a hurricane leaves behind so drainage returns before the next system.
In a metro this flood-exposed, keeping canals clear is not seasonal, it is constant, and it has to be done right. We back Tampa Bay area contractors, municipalities, and drainage crews for the life of the equipment.
Every purchase includes:
Watch the machine clear an overgrown Hillsborough County channel and judge the reach, the speed, and the light footprint on soft banks for yourself.
If keeping Tampa Bay area canals and flood-control channels clear is your responsibility, tell us what you are up against and we will help you land on the right Truxor setup.
An amphibious machine, because it can work the shallow, soft-banked channels across Hillsborough County, cutting and lifting vegetation and debris from the water without heavy equipment staged on the bank.
Tampa Bay is flat and highly flood-exposed, and its canals exist to move water out fast. An overgrown channel loses that capacity, which becomes a direct flood risk when a storm arrives, as the 2024 storms made clear.
Yes. It launches off a bank or ramp and works the channel on its own, which suits the tight gulf-access residential canals where land access is limited.
Stormwater and canal maintenance contractors, Hillsborough County and municipal crews, and the companies that keep residential, community, and flood-control channels draining across the Tampa Bay area.
