Yes, you can use a standard excavator for dredging, but it's important to note a few considerations:
Compatibility: Ensure that the excavator can accommodate a dredging pump attachment. Some excavators may require modifications or specific mounts to support the pump's weight and operational demands.
Hydraulic Power: Standard excavators may need sufficient hydraulic power to operate the dredge pump effectively. Check the specifications of your excavator and the dredge pump to ensure they are compatible.
Limitations: While a standard excavator can perform dredging tasks, using a dedicated excavator dredging pump is recommended for optimal performance, especially in more demanding applications.
