Explore Our Dredge Pump Lineup
Cable-Deployed Dredge Pumps
Ideal for deep water applications. Lowered by crane, these pumps reach depths of up to 250 feet and pump material over a mile away at rates of up to 1,300 cubic yards per hour.
Excavator-Mounted Dredge Pumps
Mount directly to your excavator for efficient sediment removal. With sizes from 3” to 16”, our plug-and-pump systems handle up to 8,800 GPM and 400 ft of head—no dredging subcontractor needed.
Growler Hydraulic & Electric Pumps
Growler 1000 (Hydraulic): Handles up to 2000 m³/hr with non-clog suction and dual excavator agitators.
Growler 3000 (Electric): Moves up to 1200 m³/hr through a 16” discharge and 30% solids.
Pontoon Dredge Pumps
Mobile and operator-friendly, these mini dredges access tight spots. Pump up to 30% solids in small lakes, ponds, and tailings with minimal setup and no shoreline damage.
Diver-Operated Dredge Pumps
Submersible pumps for precision underwater dredging. Support for up to 2 divers, pump 75–300 yd³/hr, and transport solids over 2000 ft.
Mini Dredge Systems
Our A-Frame and Dredge Sled systems offer powerful solutions in compact footprints. Move silt, sludge, and sediment with ease in hard-to-reach areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dredge pump, and how does it work?
A dredge pump is a heavy-duty centrifugal pump that transports solids like sediment, sand, and sludge by creating suction with an impeller. It suspends materials in slurry form and pushes them through discharge pipelines.
Which dredge pump is right for my project?
It depends on the depth of your application, the type of material, the project size, and the pump’s mobility needs. Our team can help you choose between cable-deployed, excavator-mounted, pontoon, or diver-operated options.
How deep can DAE dredge pumps operate?
Our cable-deployed dredge pumps can reach depths of up to 250 feet. Other models vary depending on the type of mounting and dredge system.
What kind of solids can DAE Pumps handle?
DAE Pumps can handle solids up to 3.9 inches in diameter and up to 30% solids concentration—ideal for gravel, sludge, slurry, and abrasive materials.
Can I use your dredge pumps in lined ponds or basins?
Yes, our pumps are safe for use in poly, clay, and concrete-lined environments without damaging the liner.
Are your dredge pumps portable?
Yes, we offer lightweight, portable dredge systems like pontoon and mini dredges that can be deployed quickly with minimal setup.
What power options are available—electric or hydraulic?
We provide both electric and hydraulic-powered dredge pumps, depending on your job site requirements and equipment availability.
How far can your pumps move dredged material?
DAE Pumps are capable of pumping material over 2,000 feet, with some models reaching distances of over a mile, depending on pressure and pipeline design.
Do you offer custom dredge pump configurations?
Absolutely. With over 150 pump options, we can tailor flow rates, head, size, and features to fit your specific application.
