Standard Barge FAQ
Pricing, specs, lead times, and delivery — straight answers.
- 36,000 lb evenly distributed. For concentrated point loads, add strongbacks or step up to the Heavy Duty Crane Barge.
- One per flatbed, whether it's a 10×20 or a 10×40 — the 10 ft width is the limit. If you need to stack two-high without an oversize permit, that's the Back Lake (8 ft wide × 4 ft deep).
- At a full 36,000 lb evenly distributed, you get roughly 2′6″ of freeboard depending on section length and water density.
