The main feature of this type of ship or barge is that it has a backhoe dredger as a fixture, which increases the stability and safety during construction. The boom arm of the excavator is usually very large, and the et at the end of the boom arm is generally larger than the et used on land. The boom arm can be extended in front of the dredger and under the water; The et will move in the direction of the boat, the sediment at the bottom of the river will be removed by the backhoe, and the sediment will be moved to another location or treated to make sure the river is clean.
Like land excavators, backhoe dredgers use a diesel-driven control unit, the main engine and the mechanical arm of the excavator, which rotates the mechanism to dig up material on the seafloor without having to move the dredger again. The boom device is driven by a hydraulic cylinder, which means that the cylinder is filled with liquid -- usually some kind of liquid -- which extends the excavator by applying pressure and contracts the excavator by depressurizing it. This allows the et and boom to withstand large loads. The operator sits in the cab and controls the movement of the boom.
Backhoe dredgers can dig to a depth of more than 30 meters. Most backhoe dredgers are not this large and cannot reach this depth, but they can easily reach the bottom of the riverbed. Generally speaking, the et can move many times the size of the arm-excavator. However, for smaller rivers, smaller backhoe dredgers are usually used.
