Floating Excavators for Jacksonville Pond and Waterway Projects
Amphibious floating excavators that dredge sediment from the retention ponds and tidal creeks feeding the St. Johns River, restoring the storage and drainage Duval County depends on.
A Floating Excavator for Jacksonville's Ponds and Creeks
Jacksonville manages its stormwater in ponds and creeks that all drain toward the St. Johns. Every development built its retention ponds to catch and hold the rain, and over the years those ponds silt in, losing the storage they were dug for while sediment settles into the tidal creeks downstream. In a low-lying county that floods from rain and river alike, that lost capacity matters.
Getting the sediment out is a soft, awkward job. Retention pond bottoms and swampy creek beds will not hold a tracked machine, and there is seldom room to float a barge.
A Truxor floats across the soft bottom, digs from a stable platform, and pulls the sediment back out so a Jacksonville pond or creek holds and moves water the way it was built to.

One amphibious platform for retention pond dredging, creek sediment removal, and shoreline grading across Jacksonville, FL.
Add a Floating Excavator to Your Duval County Work
The right floating excavator depends on how much sediment a pond or creek has lost to depth, how soft its bottom runs, and how you reach it without tearing up a bank.
We size the Truxor to the site, from dredging a silted retention pond serving a Jacksonville development, to clearing sediment from a tidal creek feeding the St. Johns, to grading a shoreline.
Whether you hold pond and waterway maintenance contracts across Duval County or you are adding dredging to your services, we match the machine and attachments to the water.
Why Duval County Contractors Choose Amphibious Floating Excavators
Jacksonville ponds and creeks have soft, often tidal bottoms and tight access, so the machine has to float, dig, and work without heavy iron on the bank.
Restore Retention Pond Storage
Pull the sediment that has silted in a stormwater pond so it holds the capacity it was dug to carry.
Float Soft and Tidal Bottoms
Set down on the soft retention pond and tidal creek bottoms where a tracked machine sinks and a barge cannot launch.
One Machine, Pond to Creek
Dredge a pond, clear a creek, or grade a shoreline with a single amphibious unit and the right attachment.
Support Behind a Serious Purchase
A floating excavator is real capital, and the return depends on operators who run it well and a supplier who keeps it working. We train Duval County crews on the ponds and creeks they maintain, and back them through sediment removal, retention pond restoration, and shoreline grading.
Every Truxor purchase includes:
- Hands-on operator training
- Technical help you can reach while the job runs
- Factory parts and service
- Attachment guidance for tidal and salt conditions
- A live demo before you buy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Across Duval County it dredges sediment from retention ponds and tidal creeks, restores pond storage and drainage, grades shorelines, and works soft-bottom water a standard excavator cannot enter.
Stormwater ponds silt in over the years and lose the storage they were dug to hold. In a county that floods from rain and the St. Johns alike, dredging restores that capacity and keeps the pond doing its job.
Yes. Its amphibious, low-impact design lets it float and dig in swampy, tidal creeks and soft ground that would trap a tracked machine.
Stormwater and pond maintenance contractors, Duval County and municipal crews, dredging firms, and community-district service providers who dredge without mobilizing a barge.
