The electric pump is targeted at the 2½” to 3” dredge market and specifically towards small electric ROVs.
The pump is available to rent exclusively from Ashtead Technology through an agreement with the manufacturer Vortex International.
Allan Pirie, CEO at Ashtead Technology, said: “Our customers are demanding more innovative tooling solutions, due to their use of smaller ROVs and vessels, as well as looking to efficiently optimise their operating costs. Vortex has pioneered this solution and we are delighted to be able to offer the new electric dredge through Ashtead Technology.”
Under an exclusive rental agreement with Vortex, Ashtead Technology also supplies a wide range of powerful dredge pumps, cutters, hoes and sampling tools.
