HOW OUR KITS WORK

Our bolt-together pontoon work platforms are a sturdy, easy to transport solution for those who need to work on low bridges, dams, or carryout maintenance in lagoons. Our kits all use our super durable HDPE plastic floats, which is the same material that drop-in truck bed liners are made from, so you don't have to worry about dents or corrosion. These floats are especially great if your floating service platform will be going in salt water or hazardous contaminated environments.

The frame systems for our mini work barges are all bolt-together kits that go together easily, and only take a few hours to assemble. Our frames consist of two custom extrusions that make for a strong, yet light weight frame, and include all the stainless hardware required to put them together. The backbone of the design is our main beam extrusion (patent pending), which is a 6000 series aluminum component that has two slots that accept standard 3/8" square nuts. This allows our hat channel frame crossmembers to bolt in place anywhere you need them. Our frame kits include all the aluminum frame structure components, which are easy to bolt together, but you do have to drill the holes for mounting the floats themselves due to slight variations of the molded plastic parts.

Why run a bolt-together kit? This means that you can make the boat any way you want! Also, you can build it in your back yard or workshop and we can ship it to you for a reasonable cost. If you've ever tried to ship a fully assembled barge, you know that it costs a fortune and can easily be damaged in transit due to the large size. Our kits arrive as two shipments. The floats will arrive on one truck as they ship direct from our partnering plastics factory in AR, and the frame kit ships from us in NH. The shipment from us will include all your frame members and stainless hardware. Also, YES, our hardware kits will have spare nuts, bolts, and washers. We all know how annoying it is when you buy a kit and lose a couple pieces. We don't want anyone to be dead in the water part way through assembly.

We have thorough assembly instructions for our mini work barge kits, as well as full CAD models available for each kit that we offer. If you need any additional information, just ask!
