Box Type

For more demanding soil types, increased cutter power is necessary and this also requires heavier constructed cutter ladders to support and resist these forces. This requires a box-type cutter ladder to create a stiff and rigid design.

The ladder is provided with:

  • Suction line
  • Side wire swivel sheaves
  • Ladder front piece 
  • Optional underwater pump

The ladder can be customized to accommodate a submerged dredge pump.

The features of the box-type cutter ladders include:

  • Rigid and strong design
  • Suitable for VOSTA cutter heads
  • Fitted with side wire sheave blocks
  • Fitted with electric and/or hydraulic drive
  • Cutter ladder length, width and suction pipe can be customized
  • Hinges and suction hose on ship side (optional)
  • Hoisting blocks (optional)
  • Sea fastening (optional)
