This dredge, often called a Van Veen grab or Van Veen dredge, is great for collecting sandy, silty, or muddy sediment samples in freshwater and coastal environments. Its weight makes it effective for shallow or soft-bottom conditions. With a screened top, water passes through during deployment, helping reduce sample disturbance. When the dredge contacts the bottom, the spring-loaded release mechanism activates to close the jaws securely, retaining the sample.

This locking-pin assembly is designed to secure the jaws of our 15 lb (6.80 kg) and 25 lb (11.34 kg) bottom dredges during deployment. Its spring-loaded locking mechanism provides smooth, reliable engagement, holding dredge components firmly in place until released for sampling.

This dredge, often called a Van Veen grab or Van Veen dredge, is great for collecting sandy or silty sediment samples in freshwater and coastal environments. Its weight makes it effective for shallow or soft-bottom conditions. When the dredge contacts the bottom, the trigger mechanism activates to close the jaws securely, retaining the sample.

Often called an Ekman grab, the Ekman dredge is great for collecting sandy, silty, or muddy sediment samples in freshwater and coastal environments. Its weight makes it effective for shallow or soft-bottom conditions. With a flapped top, water passes through during deployment, helping reduce sample disturbance. When the dredge contacts the bottom, the spring-loaded hooks activate to close the jaws securely and simultaneously using the messenger or optional extension handle, retaining the sample.

This handle extension is designed to trigger our Ekman dredge in shallow environments. When the plunger is pushed downward, it activates the dredge’s spring-loaded hooks, closing the jaws securely and simultaneously for sample collection.

This sturdy lid is designed to fit our 5-Gallon Ekman Dredge Storage Bucket, providing a secure closure for safe storage and sample transport.

This durable storage bucket is designed to securely hold and transport samples collected with our Ekman dredge. Ideal for both storage and sample transport, it ensures safe and efficient handling of dredged materials.

This messenger is designed to trigger our Ekman dredge during deployment. When released down the suspension line, it impacts the dredge’s spring-loaded hooks, closing the jaws securely and simultaneously for sample collection.

This cable kit is designed for use with our Ekman dredge.
