18" WIDE HDPE PLASTIC PONTOONS FLOATS PONTOON BOAT FLOATS WORK BARGE FOR MARINE DOCK

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Floating Stability & Support: Constructed with a durable HDPE plastic hull and reinforced metal frame, the platform ensures stable buoyancy and weight distribution for safe use in lakes, rivers, and pools.
  • Drainage Efficiency: The grid-like plastic decking promotes rapid water drainage, preventing slippage and maintaining a dry surface for users.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant HDPE Material Technology

  • With corrosion-resistant HDPE plastic, you can ensure long-lasting durability in freshwater environments like lakes and rivers*, outperforming traditional wooden or less robust plastic pontoons.

  • 2. Modular Single-Structure Design for Customization

  • With a modular single-structure design, you can easily customize the platform size and configuration to suit specific project needs*, whether for a small recreational pontoon boat or a large commercial work barge.

  • 3. Superior Buoyancy and Stability

  • With an 18-inch wide HDPE pontoon, you can achieve superior buoyancy and stability compared to narrower traditional pontoons*, supporting heavier loads without compromising safety.

  • 4. Versatile Scenario Solutions for Commercial & Recreational Use

  • With a robust metal frame and grid deck, you can safely deploy the pontoon in both commercial work barge setups and recreational pontoon boats*, thanks to its drainage-friendly design and weight distribution.

  • 5. Eco-Friendly Material Compliance

  • Made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE), you can meet environmental standards while ensuring sustainable use*, as this material is recyclable and resistant to chemical degradation.

Product details

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • HDPE Hull: 30% lighter than steel, with 2x longer lifespan in freshwater.
    • Grid Deck Design: Reduces slip risk by 40% via optimized drainage.
    • Modular Buoyancy: Adjustable float density for uneven water depths.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Ideal for small recreational crafts or temporary setups (e.g., fishing platforms).
    • Advanced Model: Suitable for commercial use (e.g., marina docks) with enhanced load and safety compliance.
    • Pro Model: Designed for industrial applications (e.g., oil rig support barges) with military-grade durability.

Example: The Pro version’s 8mm UV-coated HDPE withstands extreme UV exposure, making it ideal for equatorial regions. Its 700 kg/ft² buoyancy pairs with reinforced frames to handle heavy machinery on work barges.
