Back when the mud was deep, the work was tough, and the dredge was all grit.

    #ThrowbackThursday Back when the mud was deep, the work was tough, and the dredge was all grit. This VMI horizontal mini-dredge put in the hours and got the job done, no shortcuts, no nonsense. Just solid craftsmanship built to move earth and water like a boss. We’ve come a long way, but the heart of what we do hasn’t changed. Still built to work. Still VMI. #VMIDredges #TBT #BuiltToWork #DredgingHeritage #ThisIsHowYouDredge #DredgeStrong #HorizontalDredgeHistory

Oklahoma-Based Dredger Manufacturer VMI Has Sold Seven Vessels To Overseas Buyers In The Past Year

Two of VMI's MD-815 dredgers were bought by Maxitool, an engineering and mining services company from Cairns, Queensland. The rugged machine features a full-width flow-through horizontal cutterhead and a recessed impeller pump for pumping - a closed vane impeller pump for pumping to higher elevations and longer distances is an option.

Maxitool uses its VMI dredgers to dewater tailing dams.  They're also used to perform maintenance work for process ponds, waterways and marine channels all around Australia.
