The Sentinel connection
Precisely aligned holes give a solid connection after just two double-head connector pins. Many simple connections spaced close together spread stress across the whole joint, so no single pin becomes a critical stress point. Pin every hole before starting a project. The pins resist corrosion jamming; their double heads make connection and removal quick. Unlike bolted systems, there are no frozen bolts or damaged bolt hardware to deal with at disassembly. Easy assembly and disassembly make transport quick.
Sizes and payload
The Standard 10×40 barge has a 36,000 lb evenly distributed deckload. Have the equipment loads and platform layout reviewed before use.
Internal spud wells go through the deck and anchor the barge in place while working; several internal options are offered. External spud wells can be moved anywhere on the outside of the barge and pin into the existing connecting angle that joins the barges. Internal or external spud wells are available on the Standard 10×40.
