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.
