Overview
Options turn a barge into the right barge.
The Standard, Heavy Duty Crane and Back Lake barges are the starting point. Spuds and spud wells hold the platform in place for piling, dredging and bridge work. Rakes give the float an angled bow for towing. Ramps load equipment and vehicles. Hopper boxes carry spoils and material. Railings, ladders, kevels, bits and a centre lifting shackle round out a working fleet.
Options are specified with the barge order and covered by the same engineered and stamped drawings. Tell us the work the barge will do and we will recommend the set.

Choosing options
What to spec for the work you actually do.
If the deck has to hold a position under a hammer, a dredge or a crane, spec spud wells and spuds. If you tow the float between sites, put a rake at the head of the tow. If wheels or tracks drive on and off the deck, add a ramp. If you move spoils or loose material, add hopper boxes.
Railings, ladders, kevels, bits and a centre lifting shackle make the barge safer and easier to handle on almost every job. List them with your quote request and they are priced together with the sections.
