Both parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding joint activity in relation to product development, sales and global service of IHC backhoe dredgers.
The range of IHC backhoe dredgers compromises of stationary dredgers that can be used for a wide range of marine operations, fitted with Liebherr excavators and fully adapted for continuous use in maritime environments.
The pontoon can be partially lifted out of the water so that the dredger is firmly held in place by the ground. The pontoon is equipped with three spuds for lifting and positioning the IHC backhoe dredger: two fixed spuds are positioned close to the excavator; and the third spud, together with a hydraulically operated spud carrier, is positioned on the opposite side of the dredger.
The collaboration between these market-leading partners confirms Liebherr-France’s (Mining and Marine Excavators division) and IHC Merwede's combined ambition to design and deliver backhoe dredgers for their customers. With their respective global presences, both partners offer their customers a worldwide service network.
