Model 7012 HP Versi-Dredge®
The 7012 HP Versi-Dredge is a self-propelled, one-truck transportable hydraulic dredge ideal for dredging rivers, small ports, canals, lakes, and small beach restoration. The 7012 HP is easy to operate, and its cutterhead design eats away a variety of materials such as sand, gravel, thick mud, light clays, and salt. The one truck transportable, self-propelled dredge can dig down to a standard depth of 30’ without having to be disassembled for road transport and has been used all over the world from Martinique to India.

1 This represents total flow capabilities of the pump – water and solids.
2 This represents theoretical maximum solids production. This is calculated based on 25% solids by volume and 1 complete hour cutting and pumping material. This estimate does not take into account material properties, time used for positioning, pumping distance or elevation. Buyer should consult IMS for production estimates based specifically around their application.
Frequently Asked Questions
The IMS 7012 HP Versi-Dredge has a standard maximum dredging depth of 30 ft (9.1 m). It is a one-truck transportable, self-propelled hydraulic dredge built for rivers, small ports, canals, lakes and beach restoration. For projects requiring greater depth, IMS offers the DM-60 Depth Master.
The IMS 7012 HP Versi-Dredge delivers 500 HP (373 kW) diesel power, up to 5,000 gpm (1,136 m³/hr) total flow, a 30 ft (9.1 m) standard dredging depth and a 12 in. (305 mm) discharge pipeline, plus a 300 ft (91 m) flexible discharge hose. It runs the SolidsMaster® horizontal auger cutterhead and patented Starwheel Drive® self-propulsion with TractionMaster® technology, and is one-truck transportable when fully assembled. Request the full 7012 HP specification sheet from IMS for complete details.
The 7012 HP pumps through a 12 in. (305 mm) discharge line and can move slurry long distances, with reach extended significantly when an IMS booster pump is added to the pipeline. Exact distance depends on material, solids concentration, elevation change and pipe size. IMS engineers will calculate the pipeline and booster setup needed for your specific run.
The 7012 HP Versi-Dredge is powered by a 500 HP (373 kW) diesel engine package matched to its submersible, ladder-mounted slurry pump. It drives the SolidsMaster horizontal auger cutterhead and patented Starwheel Drive self-propulsion. Request the current 7012 HP specification sheet from IMS for full powertrain details.
The 7012 HP offers up to 5,000 gpm (1,136 m³/hr) total flow — the pump’s combined water and solids capacity — and is IMS’s highest-output transportable model, which is why it is chosen for large river, port and sand-mining projects. Actual cubic-yards-per-hour output depends on the material, pumping distance, solids concentration and depth. Share your project parameters and IMS will provide a production projection.
The 7012 HP is best suited to high-production and deeper work: river and channel dredging, port and harbor maintenance, sand and aggregate mining, large lake and reservoir restoration, and beach renourishment. Its power and 30 ft depth make it the go-to model when output and reach matter most. For smaller canals and lagoons the 5012 LP or 5012 HP may be a better fit.
Yes. All IMS Versi-Dredge models, including the 7012 HP, are one truck transportable when fully assembled — no disassembly required. IMS also offers an optional proprietary Transport-Launch-Retrieve (TLR) trailer that transports the dredge, launches it into the water and retrieves it, eliminating the need for a crane and reducing overall operating costs on each job.
