Shoretech - Model Eco-Harvester -Aquatic Plant Removal Machine
The Eco-Harvester is an advanced aquatic plant removal machine, designed to extract weeds by their roots rather than cutting them, providing a 95% effectiveness rate against submerged vegetation such as milfoil, hydrilla, and various other aquatic plants. Its operation does not require technical training, facilitating a seamless user experience for lake maintenance. Its eco-friendly approach results in minimal disruption to the lake bed compared to other methods like chemical treatments or dredging. The Eco-Harvester doubles as a skimmer for floating debris, handling algae blooms and duckweed with ease. Its design allows it to function in water as shallow as 12 inches, making it ideal for difficult-to-reach locations around docks and piers. Engineered with an aluminum hull for lighter weight and increased speed, it boasts enhanced storage and operational stability. Equipped with universal components, it ensures ease of repair and replacement, offering a unique balance of performance and affordability for conservation agencies and maintenance contractors.
The Eco-Harvester is an environmentally friendly aquatic plant harvesting machine and the only harvester of its kind that pulls the weeds from their roots instead of cutting them like ALL other aquatic weed harvesters! It is 95 % effective at uprooting most all types of submersed vegetation including milfoil, hydrilla, celery/alligator grass, starry stonewort, water chestnut, and most other aquatic plants prevalent in ponds, lakes, rivers, channels, canals, and water front property.
The Eco-Harvester is easy to use and doesn’t require any technical training to operate like most other lake weed harvesters. It is the most eco-friendly and least invasive method for removing lake weeds with minimal lake bottom disruption compared to other harvesters, herbicides & algaecides, dredging, and dewatering. Best of all, it only requires one person to unload, operate, and trailer. In essence it is a one-person operation from start to finish!
The Eco-Harvester is affordable for lake associations, conservation management, municipalities, and lake shore maintenance contractors because it is 2/3rd the cost of any other comparable weed harvester/cutter.
The Eco-Harvester was initially designed to help control milfoil, but through testing, we discovered that it pulls most any type of submersed lake weeds (invasive and native) equally well.
The bigger surprise however, was that as good as it is at pulling lake weeds, it is an equally effective skimmer of floating weed fragments, algae blooms, Duckweed, and other floating debris.
It can float in as little as 12” of water making it ideal to clean hard to reach areas like in and around boat docks and lifts, piers, and marina boat slips.
