Pillar · Our Barges
Sectional steel barges.
Built in Canada.
Every model starts from the same flat closed-deck hull: CSA-grade 350W steel, robotic welds, and the same interlocking coupler system. The Standard is what most contractors buy. The other three are the same hull sized for specific jobs.
10′ × 20′ or 10′ × 40′ × 5′ depth
Standard Barge
The flagship — 36,000 lb deckload, flat closed deck, couples to any size. Start here.

10′ × 40′ × 7′ depth
Heavy Duty Crane Barge
Same hull, 7 ft deeper. 58-ton payload, more freeboard — step up when lifts get heavy.

8′ × 20′ × 4′ depth
Back Lake Barge
Same architecture, 8 ft wide. Stacks two-high on a flatbed — no oversize permits required.

Custom Barges
Same proven hull, your dimensions and options. Stamped drawings, Transport Canada approved.
View specs →Same hull. Different job.
CSA-grade steel. Every model uses CSA G40.20-13 / G40.21-13 grade 350W structural steel — Standard, Heavy Duty, Back Lake, and custom alike.
Robotic welds. Bohler Ti 52 T-FD flux core wire delivers continuous, uniform welds — every joint, every barge.
One coupler system. The same interlocking coupler runs through every model. Add sections end-to-end or side-by-side — whatever the job needs.

Barge Lineup FAQ
Pricing, specs, lead times, and delivery — straight answers.
- Start with the Standard — it's what most bridge, piling, and dredging crews run. If you're putting a heavy crawler on it or working in surf and chop, move to the Heavy Duty (7 ft depth, 58-ton payload). If access is the problem — remote lakes, no oversize permits — the Back Lake ships two-high on a standard flatbed.
- Yes. Same interlocking coupler across the lineup, so you can combine Standard and Heavy Duty in the same configuration. Back Lake is a different width and pins to other Back Lakes only.
- Depends on crane weight and water. Rough rule: a 60-ton crawler typically wants four Heavy Duty sections. Send us the crane spec sheet and we'll size it.
