Smals stands out through an extensive and versatile range of mobile dredgers and supporting equipment. This enables the family-owned company to execute projects independently, collaborate with contractors and rent out equipment, regardless of the size or complexity of the assignment.
Road-transportable dredgers
Smals dredgers are modular, transportable by road and therefore suitable not only for open water such as ports, canals and lakes, but also for enclosed or semi-enclosed waters and locations such as sand extraction pits, reservoirs, drinking water abstraction areas and retention basins. They can operate in both shallow and deep waterbeds, ranging from seventy centimetres to fifty-five metres. Depending on the project requirements, the machines are equipped with either a rotating cutter head or a suction pipe. Noise, energy consumption and CO₂ emissions are continuously minimised.
From low-emission to fully electric
Smals continuously develops its equipment by applying innovative technologies and low-emission engines, up to fully emission-free and electrified machinery. At every location, Smals deploys the most suitable solution for the specific conditions and objectives.
Skilled and experienced crew
All crew members are well trained. Their many years of experience ensure that projects are executed efficiently, safely and sustainably.
Versatile and innovative equipment
In addition to dredgers, Smals has all necessary supporting machines and materials at its disposal. This makes virtually every assignment feasible, from large to small, from straightforward to complex. The combination of innovation, expertise and high-quality equipment makes Smals a reliable partner for any dredging or construction materials challenge.
