Our barge is ideal for submarine cable installations, dredging with an excavator or for large equipment and/or material hauling. Our two sectional barges combine to form a 20 ft wide x 40 feet long x 4 ft deep barge that can handle up to 100,000 lbs, or add our third 10' x 50' section which can be in-set to allow for dredging or drilling, increasing our capacity to 150,000 lbs. Our sectional barges can be stacked and shipped on a flat-deck. We are able to launch in many standard boat ramps from our trailer, or the barge sections can be unloaded into the water by a large crane. Our barge is easily maneuverable even in shallow water situations.
