INFORMATION SHEETS
With a narrow beam construction, this hopper fits where space is limited. It can even fit through 70ft locks as one unit when working with The Rothen Group tug. Making it ideal for confined or restricted work environments.
While unpowered it’s transportable by road for ease. Quick to set to work, the boat is fitted with third services pipework allowing it to run attachments such as clamshells, post drivers and piling hammers. With a carrying capacity of 14 tonnes and two two sealed internal tanks that can carry liquid materials including dredging and concrete. It’s also fully flexible with a robust construction to support the transportation of stone or piles.
The four hydraulic stabiliser legs complete with large foot plates sustain reduced ground pressure on canal beds. The wide positioning of the crane is designed for self-loading and discharge. It’s a smart choice for any project demanding strength and precision in restricted areas.
