A Tough Link Barge unique design and engineering allows for trucking transport of two per semi trailer, easy interlocking to create any configuration accommodating all designs and applications needed. Ensuring strong connections between barge units, tight gaps, built-in attachment points, no protrusions, and reducing on-site modifications. |
|
Tough Link Barges can be easily installed / assembled onsite by semi-experienced personnel at any location. The modular design offers the user an elegant solid floatation platform to be used in areas where most conventional mechanical equipment is inaccessible. |
|
The overall design has taken into consideration obstacles and problems which have occurred in utilizing modular floating barges.
Starting with the linking pockets, our quick link system design offers simple easy connecting when being assembled in bad conditions reducing costly crane and manpower. There are no male and female sides to consider when designing the layout. All portable barges can be connected side to side, end to end, and side to end. When a design layout requires an open exposure in the center, our Tough Link Barge linking system makes it easy. The unique pocket designs also allows for stacking portable barges on top of each other quick and easy with our stacking link connector. All pockets, at users discretion, may be covered for a smooth and level surface or exposed for quick and easy access. Locking systems offers maximum strength to assure users layout conforms with the required application. |
|
Any Tough Link Barge connector can be removed quick and easy, thus allowing other components to be attach with ease. This unique design also allows the user with easy decisions and options when attaching special components. In noted issues and problems by barge users in day to day operations, our design allows any of our pocket linking connectors to be removed allowing the user to take advantage of the space to attach their equipment, ramps, or components without adding obstacles, protrusions, or unwanted hazards to the outside perimeter of the modular barge system. This addresses safety issues for loading, unloading, or tying an incoming vessel. The unique pocket engineering also allows for end user to adhere custom components of their own design and choice. |

A Tough Link Portable Barge is engineered and designed with the working crew in mind. Our unique approach in design has addressed the noted daily issues, complaints, and problems by barge users. Starting with layout design, connecting, component attaching, day to day working needs, and the dreadful disassembly. |
|
The dreadful disassemble of most portable modular barge systems over its service time has had problems. Over time and in most cases the barge system has been in service for several years. This has created disassembly issues where rocks, concrete, tar, and other top side debris has fallen and gotten lodge into connecting spaces. This has created disassembly difficult and time consuming and in some cases leading to cutting the barges. Adding more problems, in some cases, brackish water organisms have grown sealing underwater gaps and extending the time consuming disassembly even longer.
We have addressed these issues in our design! With easy access to all link connecting pockets allows the user exposure to disassemble any configuration super quick and easy. |
