Projects often require moving barges by land or indeed by sea, modular barges are a simple solution. I have been chasing a good modular barge solution for a long time and this is the absolute best modular barge I been able to find.
They are standard sized container sized modules (40ft x 8 ft) and delivered with CSC Certification making shipping very affordable. (standard container rate per module) Spud holders are also available if required and are available either fixed or detachable.
The connector keys are an engineering masterpeice with patents applying (drawings and pics cannot be shown here.) but suffice to say they not only cope with the weight but are also much easier to remove than other types.
At this stage, we can look at accepting orders with a minimum of four modules which will give you approximately 40ft x 32ft
Each module has a max payload of 48.7 t (Don't forget, stability will always govern the size)
It is probably easier to call me and tell me what size barge you require and for what purpose and I will quote you.
Below are some examples of a crane barge and a drilling or piling configuration to give you an idea.
