Aquatic weed Harvesting

Aquatic weed infestation can turn your waterway into a clogged mess. Removal of aquatic weeds is a solution that is more environment-friendly than other strategies involving chemical treatments that also typically involve government approval or application. Harvesting involves cutting and removing the weeds from your waterway. A well-designed vessel is necessary for this operation.

Debris Removal

Water debris in your waterway is unsightly, dangerous and unhealthy. Removing all kinds and sizes of floating objects from your waterway is necessary to secure the safety and beauty of your natural resource. Applying a strategy of removing objects using a standard marine vessel is not the solution. Like harvesting weeds, you need a well designed marine vessel for this operation.

Aquatic Weed Harvesters

Aquatic weed harvesting can be a difficult process without the right equipment.
You need a well-designed harvester to cut the weeds, and the trailer to get it to and from your waterway. Once the weeds are harvested you need to transport them to the shoreline and remove them from your waterway.

Marina Cleaners

Marina Cleaners feature an articulating vertical wing capture system that delivers debris to the front pick-up conveyor. Large and small objects are easily retrievable and rollback is prevented with cross cleats. The design permits clear passage of large objects retrieved by the skimmer head, into the open storage conveyor.

The FX-11

Our FX 11 is our largest sized capacity harvester. It is designed for rapid deployment and fluid and effortless “site to site” transitions. This particular harvester often appeals to government entities or contractors who have several waterways to maintain.
The elevated operator’s bridge has controls that can be easily tilted down for passages that require low clearances. The hydraulically powered paddle wheels can be tilted up and folded when needed for transport and storage.

MC202 Marina Cleaner

Marinas, Rivers, and Harbors can collect all kinds of natural and man-made debris. Getting rid of it can be a daunting task. Our line of Trash Skimmers can make the collection and the offload of debris easier.

Transport Barge

When the shore offloading point is a distance away from the work area, Transport Barges can shuttle loads of weeds or debris from the Harvester/Skimmer to the offloading point allowing the harvester to continue working.

Conveyors

Once your weeds or debris are at the shore it needs to be offloaded. Our line of Shore and Pier Conveyors can quickly offload to waiting transports.

Trailers

Transport and load and launch your equipment with our line of trailers. Trailers are available in multiple configurations and sizes to carry all our boat designs.

Multi Purpose Boats

The multi-purpose Hydro-Mate has multiple attachments including a rake as shown and clamshells

Designed to be Functional and Convenient to Operate

Purchasing a waterway maintenance craft is a significant long term investment. You should be sure your selection is highly functional, convenient to use, and built to stand up to rigorous use over time. Here at Alpha Boats Unlimited, all our aquatic weed harvesters, marine cleaners trash skimmers, and support equipment are designed and built with long-lasting quality, superb workmanship, and longevity that will make sense to your investment.
Here are a few reasons why we believe our designs achieve this goal better than other vessels on the market.

Why our designs are better than other vessels on the market

Easy to Transport

Our equipment features removable paddle wheels for transportation. While removal is not necessary for transportation, this provides the option to access restricted width locations or highways.

Easy to Service

We are the only manufacturer that keeps the bridge, engine, fuel tank and hydraulic tank mounted on the hull. Essential systems are all on deck and easy to service and maintain.

Convenient to Operate

Our discharge conveyor hydraulically moves up and down and is not welded in place typical of other designs. The entire front intake head pivots like a swing to minimize damage when inadvertently engaging an object.

Built With Quality Components to be Reliable and Durable

Metal Skids

Complete length metal skids on the hull bottom last. Other designs use wood which will rot over time.

Stainless Fuel Tank

A Stainless Steel fuel tank is standard. Other designs may use plastic or basic steel that is prone to rust, especially in saltwater environments.

Hydraulic Fittings

JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are used in our hydraulic controls. JIC fittings are available worldwide.

Large Waterweed Harvesters

FX 11

Our Largest Waterweed Harvester is the FX11. With an 11-foot cutting swath, it has the largest cutting and transport capacities of our Waterweed Harvesters. With a full range of support equipment for trailering and offloading weed harvest, it is a favorite among government agencies and contractors.

Trash Skimmers / Marina Cleaners

Trash Skimmers/Marina Cleaners are available in freshwater or saltwater versions and feature an articulating vertical wing capture system that delivers debris to the front pick-up conveyor. Large and small objects are easily retrievable and rollback is prevented with cross cleats.

Pier Conveyors

Our Pier Conveyors are specifically designed to operate for offloading of cargo from our Weed Harvesters, Marina Cleaners and Trash Skimmers. When the best offloading area is a pier, these conveyors are the best choice.

Shore Conveyors

Our Shore Conveyors are specifically designed to operate for offloading of cargo from our Weed Harvesters, Marina Cleaners and Trash Skimmers. When the best offloading area is the shoreline, these conveyors are the best choice.

Transport Barges

Using an Alphaboats Transport Barge is the ideal solution when the workboat is spending inordinate amounts of time shuttling cargo back and forth from the worksite to the offloading point.

Tilt Deck Trailers

Trailers

There is a Tilt-Deck trailer sized and designed to load and transport all of our vessels. The "Ramp on Wheels" design with its supplied winch and powerpack will load our vessels from the launching point onto the trailer.

Aqua Rake AR-101

Aqua Rake

The Alphaboats AR-101 Aqua-Rake is the smallest of our multifunction boats. While it has fewer specialized attachments than the AM-2000, its smaller size is easier to maneuver, transport, and store thus perfect for smaller waterway applications.

Hydro Mate AM-2000

Hydro Mate

The Hydro-Mate AM-2000 is a multifunction boat designed to support waterway maintenance and repair when access is required from within the waterway. Several specialized interchangeable attachments are available as optional equipment depending on need.

Steel Work Boat

Work Boat

Alphaboats steel workboats are the smallest of our fleet. Made to function as a "dingy" or a small motorized service boat these vessels are typically used to service and repair waterway structures from the water or transport crew to a moored vessel.
