Recently, YG’s crawler dredging robot has been gaining popularity in the European market, with users from Poland, Spain, France, Italy, and other countries placing orders for silt removal from lakes, artificial canals, rivers, and urban landscape lakes. Many customers have reported that the robot operates stably, has high silt removal efficiency, and reduces the need for manual labor, making it particularly suitable for the stringent environmental and water management standards of various European countries. With the spread of these success stories, more and more European buyers are proactively inquiring about and purchasing YG’s crawler dredging robot.
Low Efficiency and High Cost of Manual Silt Removal
Many urban lakes and landscape waterways in Europe have long suffered from siltation problems. However, due to strict environmental regulations and high labor costs, traditional silt removal methods are not only costly but also inefficient. Many customers have stated that a single silt removal operation often requires dozens of workers and expensive machinery, resulting in long project cycles and significant management pressure.
Difficulty in Accessing Restricted Spaces
European urban waterways are generally small, with limited access and stringent shoreline environmental protection requirements, making it impossible for large excavators and boat-based dredging equipment to enter. Customers commonly face practical questions such as “Can the equipment reach the work site?”, “Will it damage the lakeshore?”, and “Can it operate in shallow water?”
Strict Environmental Standards Require Controllable and Monitorable Sludge Discharge Methods
European countries have simultaneously raised environmental standards for water body treatment, requiring precise control of sludge discharge to avoid secondary pollution. Some customers have reported that previous equipment excessively stirred up the lakebed, causing temporary turbidity and failing to meet local environmental supervision requirements.
These needs are real in the European market, so many new customers immediately resonate with these issues and seek low-manpower, lightweight, and precise dredging solutions.
To address these pain points for European clients, YG offers localized and replicable solutions:
Solution 1: High-Efficiency Dredging + Single-Person Remote Control
YG’s crawler dredging robot uses a remote-controlled drive system, allowing it to move directly on the lakebed. Equipped with a high-lift mud pump, it enables continuous dredging.
One unit can replace 10–20 workers.
Single-person remote control operation.
Work efficiency is 3–5 times higher than manual labor.
These intelligent devices are often referred to as intelligent dredging robots and are increasingly popular in European environmental engineering projects.
Solution 2: Compact Size, High Mobility, Suitable for Urban Lakes
The equipment uses a tracked chassis, allowing it to move stably in shallow water, soft mud, making it ideal for the small bodies of water and urban lakes common in Europe.
In some industrial settings, it is also used as an industrial dredging robot for factory reservoirs and sedimentation tanks.
Solution 3: Environmentally Friendly Sludge Discharge System Supporting Long-Distance Transportation
YG offers an environmentally friendly sludge transportation solution. You can pump the sludge to shore-side dewatering machines or surface sedimentation tanks, allowing you to control the discharge and meet strict European environmental regulations. This clean, controllable, and low-disturbance operation is why users call the equipment an environmental sludge cleaning robot.
Case Study: Crawler Dredging Robot Serving a European Lake Dredging Project
Project Location: Mazury Lake District, Poland
A Polish client responsible for managing tourist lakes needed to dredge silt before the peak season. Traditional manual dredging would take more than 30 days and was prohibitively expensive. Using the YG crawler dredging robot, the dredging of 14,000 m² was completed in just 9 days.
Client Feedback:
Easy to transport
Minimally damaging to the lakeshore
Operational efficiency far exceeded expectations
Project Location: City Park Lake, Spain
The city government required dredging to be carried out without disturbing tourist activities or closing the park. YG’s intelligent dredging robot, with its quiet operation and remote control, became the optimal solution.
The client stated, “This is the first time we’ve seen such a quiet and stable dredging system.”
Project Location: Industrial Sedimentation Tank Treatment in France
This client primarily treated the sedimentation tanks of their factory’s circulating water, which contained viscous water and large amounts of sludge. YG’s industrial dredging robot, equipped with a high-powered sludge pump, successfully achieved 24-hour continuous sludge removal.
FAQ from European Clients (Based on Real-World Consultation Scenarios)
① How deep can the robot operate in water?
Typically, it can operate within a depth range of 0.5–6 meters. Custom models can be designed for deeper depths.
② Is an operator’s license required? Is it difficult to operate?
No specific license is required. Control is similar to remote-controlled vehicles; only 1–2 hours of training is needed to learn how to operate it.
③ How far can the sludge be transported?
Depending on the pump model, it can generally reach 80–200 meters. For longer distances, a booster pump station can be added.
④ How is the equipment shipped to Europe?
Complete units can be exported, packaged on pallets or in wooden crates, and transported by sea or rail to major European ports (such as Gdańsk, Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, etc.).
⑤ Does it meet European environmental and safety standards?
The equipment is available with CE certification, electrical safety devices, and a low-disruption environmental operation mode, meeting the requirements of European water conservancy, environmental protection, and municipal projects.
