Equipment Overview
For sale, Bell 200 8″ hydraulic cutterhead dredge pump attachment for excavators. Rugged Dutch-built excavator-mount pump, ideal for marinas, lakes, and shallow-draft river work.
- Manufactured in 2023
- Great condition
- Only used on one job
The 8″ dredge pump was used on a CAT 336 excavator, but it can use it on a much smaller unit. It was used with both a 300 and a 400 hydraulic power unit for power. If you use it with a larger excavator it may be able to run off the excavator instead of using a HPU. The cutterhead is well made and teeth easy to changeout. The pump was used with both 6″ and 8″ hdpe pipe. It’s quite sturdy. The pump was used on a CAT 336 long reach excavator digging -45’ underwater in a channel for Disney. It’s a well made pump.
