Dragheads

Many years of practical experience

The draghead of a trailing suction hopper dredger is the first mechanical point of contact with bottom material. Its design, quality and sturdiness are critical to the dredging process. IHC Parts & Services has invested many years of practical experience and testing to create optimal draghead solutions, which are capable of extracting the maximum amount of bottom soil, within the shortest possible time and at minimal cost.
