Variant · Heavy Duty Crane Barge
Heavy Duty.
7 feet of depth.
The Heavy Duty is the Standard Barge hull built 7 ft deep instead of 5. That extra depth nearly doubles the section modulus, adds freeboard, and gets you to 58-ton payload per section — use it when the crane gets heavy or the water gets rough.

Heavy Duty Crane Barge FAQ
Pricing, specs, lead times, and delivery — straight answers.
- If you're running a crawler heavier than about 50 tons, or working in surf, chop, or anywhere extra freeboard matters. The 7′ depth nearly doubles the section modulus over the 5′ Standard.
- Interlocking coupler is identical, but mixing 5′ and 7′ depth in the same float creates a step at the deck. We recommend keeping each float to one depth.
- Customers have run crawlers from 50 to 250 tons on multi-section Heavy Duty floats. Crane spec, mat plan, and water conditions all matter — send us the spec sheet.
